The Ghost Inside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Upset and forgotten, are your only prayers
Knelt and barely breathing, your battered heart has kept you from screaming out loud.
Knelt and barely breathing, your battered heart has kept you from screaming...
And as much as we all, want to just blame you, I know the truth. I know the answer.
Your shattered plea never stood a chance. Constantly cursing him and wondering what you did to deserve this today.
Reasons will never be the same to you.
Some still believe, but others like me, see what's inside. A scapegoat for reasons why, and wishes washed away. At times like these, I guess best for us this way.
But one thing I forgot to say is, "I'll live life knowing I can change today
The lyrics to The Ghost Inside's song Disintegrator tell a story of struggle, loss, and ultimately hope. The opening lines, "Some still believe, but others like me, see what's inside," speak to the idea that while some people may believe in a higher power or spiritual force, others may see things differently. The song seems to be questioning the idea of blaming someone or something for difficult circumstances that may arise in life.
The lyrics go on to describe a situation in which someone is feeling abandoned and forgotten, with their prayers going unanswered. The lines, "Knelt and barely breathing, your battered heart has kept you from screaming out loud," create a vivid picture of someone who is barely keeping it together. The song then turns to the idea of blame, with the chorus repeating the line, "And as much as we all, want to just blame you, I know the truth. I know the answer." The song seems to be saying that while it may be easy to place blame on someone for bad things that happen, the truth is often much more complex.
The lyrics then paint a picture of someone who is constantly questioning and cursing their circumstances, unable to find any reason or meaning behind their struggles. Ultimately, however, the song ends on a note of hope, with the line "I'll live life knowing I can change today." This seems to be a message that despite the struggles and difficulties we may encounter, we always have the power to make a positive change in our lives.
