Ghost Mouth
Girls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got nothing to do
And nobody to see
Nowhere to go
And nobody to be

I'm on a ghost train
In a ghost cloud
And I don't know how to get out
And get it to heaven

I had a beautiful girl
A musical dream (?)
She wanted it all
But she didn't want me

Now I'm a ghost man
In a ghost town
And I just wish I could get out
And get it to heaven

I like the bad boys
And their (?)
I like the bad bands
And their big sounds

I've got a ghost mouth
With a ghost frown
And I'm too scared to get out
And get it to heaven

I got to quit staying home
Gotta get outta here
It just hasn't been home
Since you haven't been here

I knew it when I heard it the first time
I knew it when I heard it the last time
Nothing compares to you

That's right

I've got nothing to do
And nobody to see
Nowhere to go
And nobody to be

I'm on a ghost train
In a ghost cloud
And I don't know how to get out
And get it to heaven

Yeah I just wish I could get out
And get it to heaven




But I'm too scared to get out
And get it to heaven

The lyrics express the feeling of being lost and having nothing to do, no one to see and nowhere to go after experiencing such a loss. The singer characterizes himself as a โ€œghost manโ€ living in a โ€œghost town,โ€ feeling like a shadow of his former self. The only thing he wishes for is to be able to get out and make it to heaven โ€“ a metaphor for finding peace and happiness.

This loss has left the singer feeling hollow and unable to move on. He admits to being attracted to โ€œbad boysโ€ and โ€œbad bandsโ€ with โ€œbig soundsโ€, which could suggest a self-destructive impulse.
