Girl and the Ghost Lyrics

Girl and the ghost
Sit in the corner
Girl and the ghost
Seem to have a lot to say
Girl and the ghost
Haven't seen each other in three years
The girl and the ghost
Few simple seconds slipped away

Slipped away...

Ghost and the girl
Commonly connected by
Something bigger
A phenomenon that sets off the eternal trigger
That lets a light through that usually goes
Around and around and around
And around and around

And around...

Ghost and the girl
Meet in the corridor
Ghost and the girl
Touched fingers and walked right through
Ghost and the girl
Seemed so familiar and fearless
The ghost and the girl
Know each other like other people do

Other people do
Other people do

Ghost and the girl
Commonly connected by
Something bigger
A phenomenon that sets off the eternal trigger
That lets a light through that usually goes

Ghost and the girl
Commonly connected by
Something bigger
The phenomenon that sets off the eternal trigger
That lets a light through that usually goes
Around and around and around

Awesome song. I'm surprised no one's commented. Anyone know what its about?

this is my personal interpretation, not sure how accurate it is...

i think the song is about the body and soul of a girl (probably herself).

"haven't seen each other in three years" - we loose sight of who we are (soul)

"commonly connected by something bigger, set off of the eternal trigger" - metaphysical philosophy

"meet in the corridor, touch fingers and walk right though, feels so famililar and fearless" - finally find who we are and what we're looking for

"the light that usually goes around" - our body's way of being the representation of our soul's energy

Personally, I think the ghost is the girl's old lover (one that's about to pass away). They can't stay together for long but they try to embrace the time they have together.

I've always liked this song and for years thought the ghost was a lover from an adulterous affair. Today while listening to it again It occured to me that the ghost is addiction. How we can overcome our addictions, but if the setting is just right it is easy to slip back into them, whatever the addiction is.

For me this song has to do with the girl`s personal relationship to god, to herself and to her ancestors. The girl is a very sensitive Person, she feels things, that other people are probably not able to feel.

It has a lot to do with energy, and for me the song is very spiritual.

If I was the girl this song would be about me and my grandfather, who died when I was very little, but to whom I always felt and still feel a very strong connection.

Peace
