We were the Vanguard
Ghosts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't mean anything
A virus in Beijing
It doesn't mean anything
We're not ok
With this at all
We're not ok
At all
It doesn't mean anything
We fell in to a trance
Didn't learn anything
We're not ok
With this at all
We're not ok
At all
We're not ready
For the worst part
White light so bright
Man I might just kick it in the afterlife
Where there's no police man
Politician
Industry titans
Or one night stands
Ex-girlfriends
To make amends
Take a deep breath
Try again
We're not ready
For the worst part
Good luck good bye good goddamn
Be kind do what's right answer "yes and"
Cause we only get a minute on this planet
Understanding that I choose to take it all for granted
Writing songs that no one listens to
Anyway
Blood loss in
Palestine
It doesn't mean anything
One more hit I'll be fine
It doesn't mean anything
We're not ok
With this at all
We're not ok
At all
The lyrics of Ghosts' song "We were the Vanguard" convey a sense of disillusionment and apathy towards the world's events and the state of society. The opening lines mention seemingly significant occurrences such as Antarctica in Spring and a virus in Beijing, but dismiss them as meaningless. This reflects a detachment from the world and its problems, suggesting that the singer feels overwhelmed or perhaps desensitized to the constant barrage of negative news and events.
The following lines mention dive bombers over France, highlighting a historical reference to World War II, but again dismiss it as having no significance or offering no lessons learned. This emphasizes a sense of indifference or resignation towards the cycles of conflict and violence that humanity seems unable to break free from.
The chorus repeats the assertion that "We're not okay with this at all," suggesting a dissatisfaction or discontent with the status quo, but without offering specific solutions or actions to address the problems. The subsequent lines mention the possibility of an afterlife, where there are no societal figures such as the police, politicians, or industry titans, creating a contrast between the imperfect world they currently inhabit and a potentially better existence beyond.
The lyrics continue with a sense of resignation, acknowledging the fleeting nature of life and the fleeting impact of their music. The final lines mention blood loss in Palestine, alluding to ongoing conflict in the region, but again dismiss it as insignificant. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of detachment, frustration, and longing for a better world, without providing clear answers or solutions.

Have you noticed a lot of tier 1 perks don't fully work friends?
The entire point of these counter perks is so the enemy has to kill you gun skill to gun skill.
None of them work enough to make it gun skill versus gun skill.
Fortified is only a 15% reduction so you still die in Hardcore.
Cold Blooded protects you from AI streaks... except Dogs ignore it as usual. Also counts Forward Intel...
Ghost keeps you off the radar... but not really because Forward Intel. (Seriously FI is the best perk in tier.)
Forward Intel boosts the effectiveness of Intel, UAVs, and Local Informants while soft counting Ghost... compared to the rest of the T2 perks it is rather overpowered.

Perk slot one is way to stacked they need to move ninja in perk 3 and move ghost in perk 2. Legit can’t even use flack jacket or tac mask in this game.
Perk slot 2 is just there for radar. And perk slot 3 is just there for light weight
And comp is messed up cuz no ones using tac mask or flack jacket, also no trophies to protect you.
At least stuns in this game are not mental
Also uav spam is way to op. In one game of dom I could earn 20 uavs myself. Making it easier for gun ho shotguns to pre fire corners. Making ghost a crutch, I think uav should be a 5 kill streak or higher and can only be earned twice for a person in that match. Making it more of a reward and more tactical.
That’s why uavs are so exciting to get in warzone
And I disagree that you have to be moving for ghosts to activate. In call of duty the maps are way too small to be consistently moving.
To be good at cod you have to control the power points in the map so how the heck is someone being punished for doing that.
All the campers using ghost don’t even come into a discussion because most of the time there just low skilled players that are easy to turn on get streaks and make em back out, and if they balance ghost the way I said most people probably won’t run it unless it really bothers them. Which opens up other perk options

Your testing is top-tier man. So helpful to see examples of everything

Ace, thank you for all the great Vanguard MP content, it is exactly what the MP community needs. I had no idea Cold Blooded countered Forward Intel, thought it only countered High Alert! You are one of the most informative channels on this content and I thank you sir!
NOBODIES
Am never taking Cold Blooded off because of Forward Intel & High Alert
Ruan Felicio
I personally love that Ghost only activates once u move. That’s what turned Modern Warfare a shitshow for me
Asian Burritoo
@bladeclanhalo3 imma have to disagree, Modern Warefare respawn is prolly one of my least favorite cod games of all time. But gunfight and snd were literally perfect
SonicSucks
But nobody in MW runs ghost or UAV. I don't understand why people complain about ghost in MW when everyone's either running overkill, restock or high alert. UAV's are also easy to destroy (just like any COD)
Jimmyjerkit
It doesn’t really matter. Vanguard caters HEAVILY to camping.
