Ghosts
Mitch L. Ryan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody did but a part of me died I suppose from all that waiting
These things they pass in time but the moments get real and it's hard sometimes
I think of someone that I'd like to be and I hold that in my mind
But there's always tonight, tonight
And you, you make me feel like I'm here when I'm not
And it, it makes me feel like I'm not here
But I am, I am more than you think I am
Take a picture of your life for a second now freeze it and look at the screen
What parts of you were daydreams, illusions, and other things
These things they pass in time but the moments are real and it's hard sometimes
Keep the faith, keep moving in time to the music rolling in your mind,
And when you stay home tonight it can become your home
You, you make feel like I'm here when I'm not here
And it, it makes me feel like I'm not here
You, you make me feel like I'm not here
And I am, I am more than you think I am
I am, I am more than you think I am
You make me feel like a natural ghost [Repeat: x4]
The lyrics of Mitch L. Ryan's song "Ghosts" suggest a feeling of being stuck in a state of limbo or waiting for something that may never come. The first verse speaks of waiting for someone to die, and while no one actually does, a part of the singer still feels like it dies due to the prolonged waiting. The moments feel real, and the weight of it all can be hard to bear. However, the singer still holds on to the hope of becoming the person they aspire to be.
In the second verse, the lyrics prompt the listener to take a step back and analyze their own life. What parts of themselves are real and which ones are illusions or daydreams? Again, the moments feel real, but it's challenging to keep the faith and keep moving forward. However, the music rolls on, and the singer encourages the listener to go along with it.
The chorus speaks of the influence of another person, making the singer feel like they're not really here, but also recognizing that they are, in fact, more than what the other person may think. The repeating line at the end, "You make me feel like a natural ghost," further emphasizes this feeling of being stuck somewhere in between.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a feeling of uncertainty and being stuck in a liminal space. However, there is still a glimmer of hope in striving towards the person one wants to be.
