Ghost of a Memory
Satellites Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The morning spotlight shines through the window pane
And picks out the knots deep in the wood
On the piano where you were stood
And the lines and sounds
I never did understand
But I wish for more
One last encore
Plays the piano alone
Singing a song no one knows
And he's asking us to sing along
I see your face again
We all get older
But you're frozen in the frame
The facts they can change
I am not sure
Which is a memory
And what's really there
And the air moves unlike the points that were proved
And the wounds heal
The scars have no feel
The ghost of a memory called home
Plays the piano alone
Singing a song no one knows
And he's asking us to sing along
The ghost of a memory called home
It's time for you to go
The lyrics of Ghost of a Memory by Satellites depict a sense of nostalgia and loss. The song reminisces on memories of a loved one who is no longer physically present. The lyrics create a vivid picture of a room with a piano, where the singer remembers the knots in the wood and the lines and sounds that they never understood. They wish for more time and one last encore. However, what remains is the ghost of this memory, who plays the piano alone and sings a song that no one knows. The ghost is calling us to sing along as we remember the past. The singer also reflects on the fact that while we all get older, memories can keep us frozen in time.
The chorus repeats the idea of the ghost of a memory calling us home. The lyrics suggest that it is time to let go of this memory and move on. The lines "the facts they can change, I am not sure, which is a memory, and what's really there" show the confusion that comes with reminiscing on the past. The song ends with the final line, "it's time for you to go," which suggests that while memories can be comforting, it is also important to let go and move on.
Overall, Ghost of a Memory is a hauntingly beautiful song that captures the bittersweet nature of memories and the struggle to let them go.
Line by Line Meaning
The numbers match again
A sense of familiarity arises upon seeing the same numbers again
The morning spotlight shines through the window pane
The sunlight striking the window glass early in the morning
And picks out the knots deep in the wood
The sunlight highlights the deep knots in the wooden piano
On the piano where you were stood
The piano where the person once played
And the lines and sounds
The music played by the person
I never did understand
The singer did not fully comprehend the music
But I wish for more
The singer yearns to hear more music
One last encore
The desire for a final performance
The ghost of a memory called home
The essence of a memory is present
Plays the piano alone
The memory plays the piano in solitude
Singing a song no one knows
The memory plays a song that nobody recognizes
And he's asking us to sing along
The memory inspires the artist to join in singing
I see your face again
The singer recalls the face of the person who has passed away
We all get older
Everyone goes through the process of aging
But you're frozen in the frame
The person's image is frozen in time in a frame
The facts they can change
The details can become altered
I am not sure
The artist is unsure
Which is a memory
The singer is wondering what is real and what is a memory
And what's really there
Trying to separate what is real from what is just a memory
And the air moves unlike the points that were proved
The invisible, intangible elements of life cannot be proven like facts can be
And the wounds heal
Physical wounds may heal over time
The scars have no feel
Emotional scars may remain, but they are not physically tangible
It's time for you to go
It is time for the memory to leave
