Ghost Lights
Woodkid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Waking up in a world surrounded by flames
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
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

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

Overall Meaning

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.

Finding oneself in a place where destruction seems to be everywhere

"Ghost Lights"

Waking up in a world surrounded by flames
