The Ghost Inside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Free from the times of tragedy
Four years to find clarity
And now I'm right where I need to be
Against all odds
I won't be silent any longer
Against all odds
Still alive - Still alive
Put to the test, demonstrate my drive
Still alive - Still alive
I said it before "Only the strong survive"
You fall, you get up
You never let up
I found my way through the darkest night
I couldn't give up - it's time to live up
To everything I said I stand behind - Still alive
My hands were at my side and despite what you think
Not giving up the fight - a second chance at life
Look in my eyes and you will find
I'm twice the man I've left behind
I spoke to death and said we'd meet again
It's not my time - it's not the end
All the doubts just in my head
So let's go! Full speed ahead
Against all odds
I won't be silent any longer
Against all odds
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Still alive - Still alive
Put to the test, demonstrate my drive
Still alive - Still alive
I said it before "Only the strong survive"
You fall, you get up
You never let up
I found my way through the darkest night
I couldn't give up - it's time to live up
To everything I said I stand behind
From the ashes brought back to life
This is the new sound of sacrifice
This is the new sound of sacrifice
Today I woke up to a brand new me
Free from the times of tragedy
Four years to find clarity
And now I'm right where I'm meant to be

When you released this record I was at a very dark place mentally.
I used to listen to it over and over again, and in time it has helped move out of it.
It felt like a light at the end of the tunnel I was stack in.
A sincere thank you from a fan who has been listening to you since your very first album.
@Mundus-vult-decipi
I like this song because it’s like they can finally accept the tragedy and move on to a new chapter and a fresh start
@aleciak524
Right! Most the album is about exactly that. It's awesome. So glad they're able to move forward and start a new chapter. I really love the whole album. Not a single song I didn't like. Not many bands I can say that with. But they kicked ass on this album. Good for them. 🤘
