This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I am near you
You don't see me
Can you feel me
I'm closer than close
Does it hurt?
Does it burn?
Do you know
What you've lost?
Are you scared of the dark?
Now that you're gone
All that remains
Is the ghost of love
Deep in my mind
I hear the chains
Of the ghost of love
You are falling
Down underneath
You'll be crawling
Lower than low
Can you sleep
Can you breathe
When you know
What you've done?
Tell me where will you run
Now that you're gone
All that remains
Is the ghost of love
Deep in my mind
I hear the chains
Of the ghost of love
You were flawless
Cruel and thoughtless
And all that you left me
Is the Ghost of love
I'm fading
I'm barely breathing
Can't hold on
I'm dying
I must be bleeding
Won't be long
Now that you're gone
All that remains
Is the ghost of love
Deep in my mind
I hear the chains
Of the ghost of love
You don't see me
Can you feel me
I'm closer than close
Does it hurt?
Does it burn?
Do you know
What you've lost?
Are you scared of the dark?
Now that you're gone
All that remains
Is the ghost of love
Deep in my mind
I hear the chains
Of the ghost of love
You are falling
Down underneath
You'll be crawling
Lower than low
Can you sleep
Can you breathe
When you know
What you've done?
Tell me where will you run
Now that you're gone
All that remains
Is the ghost of love
Deep in my mind
I hear the chains
Of the ghost of love
You were flawless
Cruel and thoughtless
And all that you left me
Is the Ghost of love
I'm fading
I'm barely breathing
Can't hold on
I'm dying
I must be bleeding
Won't be long
Now that you're gone
All that remains
Is the ghost of love
Deep in my mind
I hear the chains
Of the ghost of love

Hayalperest
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.

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”

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
i relate to it maybe cuz i relate to all rasmus's songs lol
i like this parts :
"Does it burn? Does it hurt? Did you know what you've lost? Are you scared of the dark?
All that remains Is the ghost of love Deep in my mind I hear the chains of the ghost of love"
" Can you sleep? Can you breathe? When you know what you've done? Tell me where will you run?"
"I'm fading I'm barely breathing Can't hold on I'm dying I must be dreaming Won't be long"
the lyrics and music both are as well as it might be ! it s cool to me :)
Kind of reminds me of good Charlotte's "The Ghost of You" .. both very pretty songs ..
I can't believe my ears .. so melodical .. and emotional at the same time .. ;/ sad ..
I suppose it has to do with the feelings you have for someone after that person is gone .. You still feel something, but the object of your love is not there anymore ..
Mabe he wants to know if they feel the same way as him .. Down ?? Crawling from breaking ??
I'm fading I'm barely breathing Can't hold on I'm dying I must be dreaming Won't be long
Don't we all hope that this is just a bad dream ..?
weeelll... the whole album revolves around two lovers. This song's about when the guy finds out he's only using her, and breaks up with her. He's been crushed, but "all that remains is the ghost (shadow) of love". he still loves her, and wonders how she's doing, but the pain is leaving
im not so sure about the whole "i'm fading..." verse, but I always thought it was the actual "ghost" talking... LOL...
I think the Ghost Of Love song could mean something like he saw a girl standing there at one of his concert and after it ended he came up to her but she didn't notice him at first.so he made sure she would notice him by standing just inches away staring at her.her being shy didn't do anything.so he walked away.then stood there staring at her.came back to her and just couldn't make that move,so she walked away.and now he has a song to remember of the time they met in germany,along with the h.i.m.and negative concert.if i were to guess,that's what i would say.
I think the meaning of this song is obvious. He has lost his partner, she has left him, and he is committing suicide.
"does it hurt? does it burn? Do you know, what you've lost? you'll be crawling, lower then low can you sleep? can you breath? when you know, what you've done
you were flawless, cruel and thoughtless and all that you left of me is the Ghost of Love
I'm fading, i'm barely breathing, cant hold on I'm dying, i must be BLEEDING, wont be long
The lyric "I must be bleeding" comes right from the black roses album insert
He obviously can not live without her, he has cut his wrists, he is bleeding to death, and he wants to make sure she knows it is because of her, and hopes she feels the guilt.
