Black Ghost Lyrics

[intro sample:]
Weil schwarze Geister haben wir wahrscheinlich alle irgendwie in unserem Leben

There's a black ghost on my trail, won't go away, won't disappear.
Black ghost never fails to get his way.
I'm gonna run like Hell down the longest road, when I turn around, he'll be waiting there I know.
Black ghost knows me well.

Ooohhh, out of my time, a troubled dreamer keeps calling on someone or something.
Ooohhh, out of my mind, a troubled dreamer keeps looking for someone or something to free me.
Free me, let me go please.

Though I've tried to shake him free, I know that he's a part of me.
Black ghost living on, he knows me well.

Ooohhh, out of my time, a troubled dreamer keeps calling on someone or something.
Ooohhh, out of my mind, a troubled dreamer keeps looking for someone or something to free me.
Free me, let me go please.

Over and over and over again and I know what I know what I know what I know, it's done.
He's coming down, he's with me now, the black ghost by my side, he's with me now.

There's a black ghost on my trail, won't go away, won't disappear.
Black ghost never fails to get his way.
Though I've tried to shake him free, I know that he's a part of me.
Black ghost living on, he knows me well.

Ooohhh, out of my time, a troubled dreamer keeps calling on someone or something.
Ooohhh, out of my mind, a troubled dreamer keeps looking for someone or something to free me.
Free me, let me go please.

Over and over and over again and I know what I know what I know what I know, it's done.
He's coming down, he's with me now, ghost coming down, the black ghost by my side.

Cover art for Black Ghost lyrics by Gay Dad

It seems to me that this song describes a low point in your life. The German sample in the intro translates to "because black ghosts, we all have them at some point in our life" and i think that sums up the song pretty well.\n\nThe black ghosts have gotten ahold of the main character of this song here and he describes trying to get rid of them, but they always come back to haunt him. The things he\'s done and regrets, the way it always gets the best of him... Yeah, i\'m pretty sure that\'s what the song is about.\n\nHe wants to get rid of the black ghosts, wanting to be free of them, but there\'s something of this sort of darkness within him and all of us, according to the song. It\'s not easy to get rid of. I think in the end he succeeds though, as on the album the song effortlessly transitions into the far more upbeat sounding To Earth With Love. A spark of hope within the sadness.
