Ghost
Mystery Skull Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

'Cause the world might do me in
It's all right cause I'm with friends
Cause I'm giving up again
It doesn't matter

And I'm feeling like a ghost
And it's what I hate the most
'Cause I'm giving up again
And this time (this time, this time)

This time I might just disappear
This time I might just dis
This time I might just disappear
This time I might just dis

Try and hear me then I'm done
'Cause I might just say this once
Seen this played out in my dream
It doesn't matter

Time for givin' up the ghost
Fuck, it's you I hate the most
And there is no guarantee
It doesn't matter

This time I might just disappear
This time I might just dis




This time I might just disappear
This time I might just dis

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mystery Skulls' song "Ghost" convey a deep sense of loneliness and hopelessness. The singer feels overwhelmed by the world and is on the brink of giving up. However, the one thing keeping them going is the presence of their friends. Despite this, they can't help feeling like a ghost, as though they are not truly living but instead are just drifting through life.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "this time I might just disappear" multiple times, emphasizing the singer's sense of despair and the possibility that they may end up disappearing from the world entirely. The image of a "ghost" is also repeated, perhaps to convey the sense that the singer feels like they are not really alive or are living a half-life.


The singer also expresses frustration with someone, likely a romantic partner, who they seem to blame for some of their feelings of alienation and disconnection. They state that this person is the one they hate the most and seem to suggest that their relationship has contributed to their current state of mind.


Overall, "Ghost" is a melancholic exploration of loneliness and depression, with the singer struggling to remain connected to the world around them.
