The Ghost Inside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The fall from grace is paved with your lies.
Stand strong behind your beliefs, if you can even manage to stand at all.
What happened to the blood pumping through your veins?
You've scattered the ashes of an iron faith.
The sun fades below the horizon, and you say goodbye to what used to be.
but the negatives fail to transfer to the final print.
Defy the leader.
Step away from the line.
No one will ever get the best of me.
What do you stand for?
Tell me now, what do you stand for?
So sing your song with the highest choir; preach from the top of the world.
Share your voice.
Admiration of the highest degree.
And now I'm washing my hands of this and leaving it all behind.
I'll wash my hands, and leave it behind.
The lyrics to The Ghost Inside's song Between The Lines speak to the idea of standing up for one's beliefs, even when faced with the pressures of society to conform. The first verse questions what happens to one's convictions when the spotlight is on them, when they are called to make a public declaration of their beliefs. The second verse speaks to the disappointment of seeing someone give up on their once-strong faith, and the chorus urges the listener to define what they stand for and to refuse to be swayed by the opinions of others or the need to fit in. The final lines of the song suggest a decision to walk away from those who do not share one's principles, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself.

But when the spotlight comes, where have the words gone?
When it's time to speak up and be accountable, why do you fall silent?
The fall from grace is paved with your lies.
Deceit has led to your downfall and loss of respect.
Stand strong behind your beliefs, if you can even manage to stand at all.
If you're not strong enough to support your own beliefs, you cannot expect anyone else to.
What happened to the blood pumping through your veins?
Why have you lost your passion and drive?
You've scattered the ashes of an iron faith.
Your once unshakeable beliefs have been shattered and destroyed.
The sun fades below the horizon, and you say goodbye to what used to be.
As things change and progress, you must part ways with the past.
They try to hang pictures of perfection on every wall and every corner,
The world tries to project an image of flawlessness and excellence everywhere.
but the negatives fail to transfer to the final print.
However, imperfections and flaws cannot be hidden or ignored completely.
Defy the leader.
Question and challenge those who hold power or authority.
Step away from the line.
Do not blindly follow or conform to societal norms or expectations.
No one will ever get the best of me.
I refuse to let anyone or anything control or defeat me.
What do you stand for? Tell me now, what do you stand for?
What are your values and beliefs, and are you actively standing up for them?
So sing your song with the highest choir; preach from the top of the world.
Use your voice and influence to spread your message and values to the widest audience possible.
Share your voice. Admiration of the highest degree.
By sharing your thoughts and beliefs, you may inspire and gain the highest degree of respect and admiration.
And now I'm washing my hands of this and leaving it all behind.
I am cutting ties with this situation and moving on.
I'll wash my hands, and leave it behind.
I am absolving myself of any responsibility or involvement in this matter.

This is the only band that can show us rebuilding through song and through action and for it to hit on a level so intimate we know to expect nothing less.
They're fucking back, ya'll.
They're. Fucking. Back.
Goddamnit I am so honored to be a fan.
