The Ghost Inside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I leave behind this sentiment to the man that I'll become
Telling him not to be burdened by the things that I have done
The longest days and endless nights have become the routine
Far beyond frustration it's the end to all my means
(Constantly incomplete)
I stack brick by brick by brick by brick
I will rise above them all
Like this, like this, like this, like this
With my back against the wall
I stack brick by brick by brick by brick
I will rise above them all
Like this, like this
I may not be forgiven, but I forgave and I'll forget
Going through the motions is no way to exist
So if there's anybody out there that's so sick of feeling alone
Has the damage already been done?
You gotta get from underneath that gun
(We walk before we run)
With my back against the wall
I stack brick by brick by brick by brick
I will rise above them all
Like this, like this, like this, like this
With my back against the wall
I stack brick by brick by brick by brick
I will rise above them all
Like this, like this
(Move me) choose me, please, before you lose me
(Find me) drive me, end the things that pride me
(Move me) improve me, ignite the flame that ruled me
(Guide me) collide me, I need something to survive me
With my back against the wall
I will rise above them all
Like this
Coming back against all odds
I stack brick by brick by brick by brick
I will rise above them all
Like this, like this, like this, like this
Coming back against all odds
I stack brick by brick by brick by brick
I will rise above them all

The Ghost Inside's song "Move Me" is a reflection on self-growth and improvement. The opening lines reveal a sense of self-awareness, where the singer leaves behind a message for the person he hopes to become. He implores him to not be burdened by the mistakes of his past and to continue pushing forward. For the singer, the struggle is long and filled with endless nights, but it has become a routine. The frustration has reached a breaking point, and he has come to the end of all his means.
The chorus speaks of perseverance and resilience even when one feels like giving up. The prospect of rising above the challenges of life fills the singer with strength and hope. He acknowledges that forgiveness is not guaranteed, but he will forget and move on from those who have wronged him. Walking before running implies taking things step-by-step, and that it is better to make progress slowly than not to move at all.
The bridge of the song speaks to the desire to belong and find direction in life. The singer asks to be moved, chosen, found, and driven, to be ignited and guided towards something that will give him the strength to survive. And even with his back against the wall, the singer will rise above them all, brick by brick. The song encourages perseverance even in the darkest of moments and the belief that there is always a way forward.
