Ghosts
Karl-Christoph Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love's a commodity void of sincerity
Should I feel
Hyperreality controls our mentality
What is real
Welcome to my afterlife
Lost in a sea of flashing lights
Digital
Miserable
Cynical
Criminal
I always feel like I'm invisible
Fractured and unlovable
Drown out the sound of static in my brain
Down in the ground, I'll rise up from the grave
Life's but a tragedy, beyond our capacity to comprehend
A perfect reality, all but fantasy with no end
Welcome to my afterlife
Lost in a sea of flashing lights
Digital
Miserable
Cynical
Criminal
I always feel like I'm invisible
Fractured and unlovable
Drown out the sound of static in my brain
Down in the ground, I'll rise up from the grave
Wake up
Now




Wake up
Right now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Ghosts" by Karl-Christoph seem to be lamenting about the state of the world and how people are just moving along with it. The phrase "This old funny world is getting on" suggests that the world isn't what it used to be, it's not as good as it once was. The line "Someone like you wants it done" reinforces this idea that someone wants to change things, but it's not happening. The chorus "Let it go, Little ghost" implies that there's nothing that can be done at this point.


The second verse continues with the theme of wondering what went wrong, but this time it's more personal. The line "Someone like you can see everything that happens to me" suggests that there's someone who understands the singer and sees what they're going through. The chorus repeats again, but this time it sounds more like a plea for the "Little ghost" to let go of whatever is troubling them.


Overall, the song seems to be about feeling like things are out of our control and feeling helpless to change them. It's a reminder to let go of our worries and just accept things as they are.

If a woman is this straightforward
-There’s a hidden camera
-She’s underaged
-It’s a prank
-She has an ulterior motive
-She’s not offering her “services” for free
I refuse to believe any woman would actually act like this for real without one of the above things going on.

Edit:
I completely forgot about this comment up until I saw some notifications for it just now. I was trying to make light of how men tend to overthink their reactions with women, but I believe I missed the mark. I’ll leave the original comment unchanged, but know that I don’t really stand by this anymore.

Side note: the point about ulterior motives renders the rest of the comment painfully redundant (most of everything else I listed is a form of ulterior motive), and I probably should have left it at that. I swear my writing has gotten a lot better since this. 😂
