Ghosts
WonderWolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You heard my voice
Through the darkness
I'll stand by your side
Don't let go

You had no choice
This is unfair
You live by the light
It made no difference

Close your eyes for a little while
Just remember our life
This was not enough, you were young
Now you are a ghost
Well, so am I

I gave it all
All that I had
It was never enough
I yearn to love again

I miss your voice
As a young man
Wandering alone
I reach out for your hand

Close your eyes for a while
Just remember me as your child
This was not enough, you were young
Now you are a ghost
Well, so am I

And I hope you feel better
I hope you feel life
I long to be back in your arms and I hope that it won't be too long
And I know you feel better
I know you feel life
We are lost in the world, been drifting away for too long, oh

I miss you alive
I feel your life
I feel your life

You were my voice
Through the darkness




I'll stand by your side
I'm still holding on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to WonderWolf's song "Ghosts" convey a sense of loss and longing for a loved one who has passed away. The opening lines suggest that the singer's voice has been heard by the listener through a dark and difficult time, and the singer promises to stand by the listener's side and not let go. However, the second stanza reveals that the listener had no choice in their fate and that living by the light made no difference. The chorus repeats the phrase "Close your eyes for a little while" and encourages the listener to remember their life together, though it wasn't enough time and they both have become ghosts.


The third stanza suggests that the singer gave everything they had to the listener, but it wasn't enough to keep them alive. The singer yearns to love again and misses the listener's voice. The fourth stanza reveals that the listener was still young when they passed and that the singer now reaches out for their hand. The chorus repeats, with the addition of the line "And I hope you feel better" and "And I know you feel better", asserting that the listener has found peace, but the singer is still lost in the world and drifting away.


Overall, "Ghosts" is a heartfelt and melancholy song about the lasting impact of loss and grief. The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and yearning for a loved one who has passed away, and the repetition of the chorus emphasizes the sense of unfulfilled longing.
