Ghosts
LA SCALTRA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like ghosts we are free,
Hide your tears and run with me
Rusted wings we will fly
The last kiss, the last cry

And the waters turn to snow,
Deep within where hearts will flow
Forever I will miss bound together in this

Flame
You keep it burning
Love
You keep it turning
I will wait for you
In eternity

Keep it in when you know
What it's like, what it's like
To keep the

Flame
You keep it burning
Love
You keep it turning
I will wait for you
In eternity

Like ghosts we appear,
In the shadows always near
Rusted wings we will fly
The last kiss, the last cry

And the roads still be so long,
Yet so mindless, yet so strong
Forever i will miss bound together in this

Flame
You keep it burning
Love
You keep it turning
I will wait for you
In eternity

Flame
You keep it burning
Love
You keep it turning

I will wait for you
In eternity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to La Scaltra's "Ghosts" paint a picture of lovers who are no longer alive yet are still together, wandering through the world as ghosts. The first two lines of the chorus, "Like ghosts we are free, Hide your tears and run with me," suggest that the two are no longer bound by human limitations and societal expectations. The use of "ghosts" as the central metaphor taps into the theme of death and the possibility of a love that transcends the limits of life itself.

The second verse suggests that the lovers are no longer tethered to the earthly plane, as they are able to move through water, which has turned into snow. This image builds on the theme of liberation and freedom from the constraints of mortal existence. The third verse reinforces the idea that they are forever bound together even in death, with the line "Forever I will miss bound together in this flame." The use of the word "flame" again suggests the idea of an eternal love that transcends physical existence.

Overall, "Ghosts" is a love song that explores the possibility of love existing beyond the limitations of life and death. It taps into the human desire for a love that is enduring and unfettered by mortality.
