The name ‘Ghostly Kisses’ was inspired from reading William Faulkner’s poem ‘Une ballade des dames perdues’ and seemed like the perfect reflection of her ethereal voice.

Ghostly Kisses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know i can't do
I just wanted more time with you
How so?
I laid my roots for once
I just wanted more time with you
Bound to one another
Can't disclaim
Bound to one another
Can't disclaim
But we act alone
Holding back
I know I do
I just want to learn about the truth
When no one is around
What can i do?
Just wanted more time with you
Bound to one another
Can't disclaim
But we act alone
Bound to one another
Can't disclaim
But we act alone
And it all remain
We are strangers, to one another
And it all remain
We are strangers, to one another
We are strangers
We are we are
We are strangers
We are we are
We are strangers
We are
We are stangers
Bound to one another
Can't disclaim
But we act alone
Bound to one another
Can't disclaim
But we act alone

Still asserting our independence despite the bond
