The ghost who walks
she's on the prowl
for the man she loved,
he cut her down
it was an ordinary night in June
when he drove her to the lake
so they could watch the full moon
The ghost who walks
she's on the prowl
for the man she loved,
he laid her down
in the tall grass
he kissed her cheek
but with a knife in his hand
he plunged it in deep
She looked at him with pleading eyes
he softly spoke,
"my dear the love has died"
and then he muffled her desperate cries
under the moonlight
Ghost who walks
she's on the prowl
wanders in the moonlight
she's crying to herself because
eyes never once looked cruel
but the moon in the blade
shimmered like a jewel
she looked at him with pleading eyes
he softly spoke,
"my dear the love has died"
and then he muffled her deadly cries
under the moonlight
Under the moonlight
under the moonlight
under the moonlight
she's on the prowl
for the man she loved,
he cut her down
it was an ordinary night in June
when he drove her to the lake
so they could watch the full moon
The ghost who walks
she's on the prowl
for the man she loved,
he laid her down
in the tall grass
he kissed her cheek
but with a knife in his hand
he plunged it in deep
She looked at him with pleading eyes
he softly spoke,
"my dear the love has died"
and then he muffled her desperate cries
under the moonlight
Ghost who walks
she's on the prowl
wanders in the moonlight
she's crying to herself because
eyes never once looked cruel
but the moon in the blade
shimmered like a jewel
she looked at him with pleading eyes
he softly spoke,
"my dear the love has died"
and then he muffled her deadly cries
under the moonlight
Under the moonlight
under the moonlight
under the moonlight

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

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.
I think this song is not literally about a girl being killed, as everyone is putting it. I think it's about a girl who got her heart broken (metaphorically killed) and now she seeks revenge on that boy.
I think this might be a personal reference or something I don't know. A couple of songs mention June and that's when they got married.. But I'm probably trying too hard to read into it or something. I think you're right anyway, ghostwhowalks :)
I don't know the exact message she raconteurs in this song, but I've always had this weird meaning to it. It might sound weird, but it had always reminded me of Meg White, Karen's husband's ex wife. Once again, not saying this meaning is correct, but Meg and Karen, as far as I know are very close. Meg was her maid of honor at Karen's wedding. I think Karen is talking about how far Jack and Meg have went, and how it felt to have a broken heart. Personally, I love Karen Elson, but I will forever think of Jack and Meg White as bound together for life, still married in a way. Jack himself has said that he is forever bound to Meg and there is something special that he just can't explain. I think Karen understands. Jack loves Karen for sure, settling down, having children with her, but I think Karen has a heart to understand the relationship between Jack and Meg, I think she has the heart to mourn for Meg, even if the separation wasn't rocky. Like I said, I don't know, but I always had a feeling it was for Meg, and Karen is a beautiful artist who conveys emotion and raconteurs a story that plays over in your head.
I agree that it's metaphorical. I think it's about a woman trusting a man so much that she'll make herself completely vulnerable (eg. going to a lake, where there aren't any other people). The line "It was an ordinary night in June" gives me the idea that (1.) her making herself vulnerable was a regular occurrence, and (2.) that she really wasn't expecting what happened next. The two of them lying in the grass, him gently kissing her cheek, is such a romantic gesture. She felt at ease and safe with him. That's why what he did next caught her so off guard. "His eyes never once looked cruel" suggests that she never thought that he was capable of hurting her so much. He "killed" her by breaking her heart. The ghost metaphor refers to how decisions can sometimes haunt you. She haunts him because she wants him to see what he did to her, every day.
Wow, your interpretation is so amazing. <br /> <br /> It kind of reminds me of Wuthering Heights, except Heathcliff never killed Cathy. But she did 'walk' the moores as a 'ghost' for twenty years.
