"...it gets inside of your bones and tugs at your heart strings whilst simultaneously jabbing at your ribs and tickling your libido." - Artrocker magazine
"These ghosts are a compelling prospect, spitting out shards of moody keyboard-pop ('What Seems Like Forever') and inserting sprawling majestic guitarscapes (the excellent 'Luna'). - Rocksound magazine
"Enthralling and emotionally-charged stadium-filling layered anthemic noise..." - Wombat Wombat Promotions

Luna
These Ghosts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where i do not know
He's not himself oh noo
And there's nothing
Nothing we can't do
On the edge don't look down
We only take you back
And there's nothing, nothing
Everything stops
Bent for the drop
Downwards
Everything stops
Bent for the drop
Please just wake up
In the morning we walk
Speak of this again
Its to real that we don't
No no
Everythings stops
Bent for the drop
Downwards
Everything stops
Bent for the drop
Please just wake up
To see
To see
To see
And I
and I'll be
and I'll be alright
And I'll be alright
Everything stops
Everything stops
The lyrics of These Ghosts' song Luna describe a haunting journey that the singer is taking through the unknown. They are following someone who is not themselves, accompanied only by darkness. The second verse implies that they may be on the edge of something dangerous and must be careful not to fall. It seems that the singer is desperate for the person they are following to awaken from a dangerous situation. The song ends with a reassurance that everything will be alright, even though everything has stopped.
It is possible that the song is about a struggle with mental illness or addiction. The line "He's not himself" could be interpreted as someone who is struggling with an internal battle. The sense of danger in the lyrics, as well as the plea for the person to wake up, could be interpreted as a desperate attempt to pull them out of a destructive cycle. The repetition of the line "everything stops" could also symbolize a sense of powerlessness or a feeling of being stuck in a difficult situation.
