Ghosts
Lights. Action! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at me
Within the realness of life
Induce that pain
Now follow me
Into the waking life
Lucid dreams aside
No
The lost will never know
What you have is what you wore
In the moment no soul
Comes to save you
Realize there's nothing wrong
Realize they're only ghosts
Breathe in all your fears
And take hold of your mind
Drink in all your tears and let go
Let it go
Will your heart replace
All these beautiful let downs
With one nice day
With one lasting good day
Why do we fear you vida
How did we first learn to complain
Immunity to pain is not an option
Why do we fear you vida
Why do we need someone to blame
The demons we face are only our own
When do we rise above the fog
And forget the shadows on the wings
So off with your auto-pilot
Why do we suffer vida
Why




She says there's no other way
But the ghosts do as you say

Overall Meaning

The song "Ghosts" is a poignant reflection on what once was and what could have been. The singer reminisces about a time when they used to walk and talk with someone they loved about their shared passion for music. However, things changed, and they find themselves spending summer nights alone, contemplating what went wrong. Despite the distance and silence between them, the singer still feels the ghost of their past relationship following them everywhere they go, haunting their thoughts and memories.


The lyrics in "Ghosts" capture the emotional journey of a person struggling to come to terms with the end of a relationship. The song illustrates how separation and loss of connection can leave a person feeling lonely and lost, even haunted by the memory of what once was. The use of repetition in the chorus underscores how deeply the memory of the other person has penetrated the singer's psyche. The haunting quality of the music, with its lingering notes and echoey effects, reinforces the sense of a ghostly presence, a vestige of what once was.


Overall, the song is a powerful and emotional statement about the difficulty of letting go and moving on after a relationship has ended. The singer is clearly still wrestling with these feelings, struggling to find a way forward while dealing with the residue of the past. It is a relatable and moving portrayal of a universal human experience.


Line by Line Meaning

We used to walk together
In the past, we walked side by side


Down the road I've traveled
The road that I've traveled without you


We used to talk forever
We spent endless hours talking


About the music that we love
Our conversations would always revolve around our shared love for music


I've missed you
I feel your absence and long for your presence


In these lonesome summer nights
During the quiet and lonely summer nights


That I'll spend alone
I will spend these nights without you


For the rest of my life, I guess
I accept that I will continue to live without you for the rest of my life


I thought I heard you calling
I imagined that I heard your voice beckoning me


Through the night and through our past
In the darkness and through the memories of our shared past


And the ghost of what we once were still follows me
The remnants of what we used to be continues to haunt me


Whooa!
An expression of strong emotion


And I wonder
I contemplate


How everything can change so fast
I am amazed at how quickly things can change


How could I speak your name again?
I am unsure if I could ever mention your name again


I still miss you when I see the stars above,
When I gaze at the stars, I am reminded of my feelings of longing for you


Knowing that we are not under the same sky anymore
I realize that we are no longer in the same place or situation


Through the noise and in my head
Despite the distractions and in my thoughts


But the ghost of what we once were still follows me
The vestiges of our past continue to persist and affect me


Home
The place where I am still haunted by thoughts of you

:50 when the table starts shaking..you see the sheets on the chair next to deepen, leaving an imprint, softening up and then door opens.
During this time, the cat on the bed is tracking whatever is moving across from the table, chair and onto the door.

Hall cats timing is impeccable, came in right after the shadow- like it was following it.

The door looked like it was yanked hard from its resting position only to come to a slow speed. That's hard to replicate with a string or tool imo.

The shadow also crosses the bedrooms threshold and into the room, so im not sure it would cast a shadow from the other room at that sharp angle.

^My reasons as to why this looks so real. Either these guys are some of the best low-light, grainy editors or this is real.

Real or fake, the cat on the bed deserves an oscar. It stood on its back haunches for the entire video.

I like that this devolved into an argument over cat abilities.
