This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Unseen to the eyes but it plays in your heart
It scorches from inside just as it haunts
It is unknown to young lovers intoxicated by spring
But when I feel it I see flames and know everything
It lives where love has died, this ghostfire
Where poison flowers bloom
It sears from beyond sighs
In the graveyard of promises
It burns right throught the night
It's cold in here, a lover lost burns in ghostfire (Ghostfire)
Lovers sprurned took their revenge, lying to themselves tonight
Once consumed they turn to ash in its cold blue light
Those who can't take the pain
They extinguish the spark of life
For love is a confident companion in the night
It lives where love has died, this ghostfire
Where poison flowers bloom
It sears from beyond sighs
In the graveyard of promises
It burns right throught the night
It's cold in here, a lover lost burns in ghostfire
Only a lover lost burns in ghostfire
Only a lover lost burns in ghostfire (Ghostfire, ghostfire)
It scorches from inside just as it haunts
It is unknown to young lovers intoxicated by spring
But when I feel it I see flames and know everything
It lives where love has died, this ghostfire
Where poison flowers bloom
It sears from beyond sighs
In the graveyard of promises
It burns right throught the night
It's cold in here, a lover lost burns in ghostfire (Ghostfire)
Lovers sprurned took their revenge, lying to themselves tonight
Once consumed they turn to ash in its cold blue light
Those who can't take the pain
They extinguish the spark of life
For love is a confident companion in the night
It lives where love has died, this ghostfire
Where poison flowers bloom
It sears from beyond sighs
In the graveyard of promises
It burns right throught the night
It's cold in here, a lover lost burns in ghostfire
Only a lover lost burns in ghostfire
Only a lover lost burns in ghostfire (Ghostfire, ghostfire)

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
yeah, i don't consider this emo by any means. a lot of the old-school tiger army fans seem to not be as happy with this new cd. peronally i think this newest album is the best over-all. i think nick has really established his sound, and is finally breaking away from the afi resemblance.
