Ghosts
T.A.S.C. Lyrics

It’s so cold now on the strip
The atmosphere is bleak, and things are not looking good.

Hills and trams and the fog is thick
The surroundings are obscured by fog, which adds to the somber atmosphere.

Faces hidden from themselves
People are struggling to connect with their own emotions.

Ground is shaking on the shelves
There is a sense of instability, and things are on the brink of collapse.

Hey, I know
The artist is acknowledging that they understand the situation.

Yeh we’ve got our ghosts
The ghosts represent past traumas and regrets that are haunting them.

Taking me and holding you back
The ghosts are preventing them from moving forward and making progress.

But now we’re breaking out
They are finally ready to confront their ghosts and break free from their hold.

Not breaking down
Instead of crumbling under the pressure, they are rising above it.

Setting fire so we can Breathe, breathe, breathe
This represents a cleansing process, where they are burning away their past and starting fresh.

Now we’re driving windows down
They are enjoying the simple pleasures in life and feeling free.

Laughing at nothing
They are feeling lighthearted and carefree.

Cold air surrounds
The cold air represents the clarity and purity they are experiencing after facing their ghosts.

Is this what it is to be alive
They are finally experiencing life in its truest form.

Oh it took the dark to bring the light to your eyes
They had to go through a dark period to appreciate the good in their life.

See we be running From the truth
They are acknowledging that they have been avoiding their problems.

No matter what they say
They are not willing to listen to the opinions of others.

I can hold your hand now
They are offering comfort and support to someone else.

But we both know I can’t stay
They are not able to stay in this moment forever and must move on eventually.

I’m tryna see Is there a lesson to be learned
They are seeking knowledge and wisdom from this experience.

From wanting something so much That everything else can Burn, burn, burn
Their intense desire for something has caused them to neglect other important aspects of their life.

See we be going out on a high
They are leaving this experience feeling positive and uplifted.

But putting out this flame Don’t feel right
Leaving something good behind is always difficult.

How can I leave you behind
They are struggling to let go of someone or something that has been important to them.

Breaking out Not breaking down Setting fire so we can Breathe, breathe, breathe
This is repeated to emphasize their commitment to moving forward and leaving the past behind.

So we can breathe, breathe, breathe
As they move forward, they are finally able to take deep breaths and fully enjoy life.
