Transparent
Living Ghosts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She lays awake at night.
Afraid from all those dreaded nightmares.
She slowly drifts to flight.
Afraid from all those dreaded night scares.
I told her everything will be alright.
She couldn't find it in herself to sleep at night.
She said, "
I can't sleep.
I'm afraid from all the thinking.
I can't sleep.
I've got the fear of dreaming.
These eyes they have seen."
I'm missing you ghost girl.
I'm missing you so much.
I'm missing the cold air.
I've been missing your touch.
I'm missing you so deeply & I cannot forget you.
I told her everything will be alright.
She still couldn't find it in herself to sleep at night.
She said, "
I can't sleep.
I'm afraid from all the thinking.
I can't sleep.
I've got the fear of dreaming.
These eyes they have seen."
I'm missing you ghost girl.
I'm missing you so much.
I'm missing the cold air.
I've been missing your touch.




I'm missing you so deeply & I cannot forget you.
