Ghost Lights
Woodkid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where everything I liked is about to fade
How could you be the one if you're not the same
If in the hands of gods you have lost your way
How ever fast I dance to make the sun shine
I will never fall down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights
I will never feel down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights
Waking up in the fog, the dust and the pain
And of the sunny days, no traces remain
How could you be the one if you sail away
Without you I can't stand the sound of the rain
How ever fast I dance to make the sun shine
I will never fall down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights
How ever hard I pray to re-make you mine
I will never feel down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights
How ever fast I dance to make the sun shine
I will never fall down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights
How ever hard I pray to remake you mine
I will never feel down
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights
The lyrics to Woodkid's song Ghost Lights describe a world that is falling apart around the singer. He wakes up to find himself surrounded by flames and everything he loves is about to fade away. He questions if the person he loves can still be "the one" if they have lost their way in the hands of gods. Despite the turmoil around him, the singer is determined to save the "ghost lights" - perhaps representing the memories and love that still exist even in the midst of chaos. He dances and prays to save them, even though they seem like a lost cause.
As the song progresses, the singer finds himself in a desolate world where even the sunny days have disappeared. The sound of rain, usually soothing and comforting, is unbearable without the person he loves. The repetition of the chorus, "how ever fast I dance to make the sun shine, I will never fall down, no matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights", reinforces the singer's determination to persevere despite the challenges he faces.

Waking up in a world surrounded by flames
Finding oneself in a place where destruction seems to be everywhere
Where everything I liked is about to fade
Seeing things that were once enjoyable no longer experiecing as it once did
How could you be the one if you're not the same
Questioning whether someone can truly be relied upon if they have changed
If in the hands of gods you have lost your way
If one has lost their sense of direction in life
How ever fast I dance to make the sun shine
No matter how much energy is expended to make a positive change, it may not work out
I will never fall down
Will not give up or be defeated
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights
Will make every effort to hold onto the lingering remnants of hope and happiness
How ever hard I pray to re-make you mine
Desiring to regain a lost relationship or connection
I will never feel down
Will remain optimistic and resilient
Without you I can't stand the sound of the rain
Feeling unable to cope with sadness or hardship alone
Waking up in the fog, the dust and the pain
Feeling lost and disoriented in a difficult situation
And of the sunny days, no traces remain
Being unable to find any signs of hope in a bleak situation
How could you be the one if you sail away
Questioning whether someone who leaves can truly be trusted or relied upon
How ever fast I dance to make the sun shine
Putting in effort to make things better, despite the odds
How ever hard I pray to remake you mine
Trying to regain lost connections or positive experiences
I will never feel down
Maintaining a positive outlook

Persisting in working hard towards a better future
I will never fall down
Resilient, and unwilling to give up
No matter what it takes, I'll try to save the ghost lights
Persevering, no matter how difficult or disheartening the situation may be
