Ghost Town

These are the lyrics off of their MySpace site:

Everyone living in ghost town Everyone buried in wasteland We don't want to We don't have to be like that Living in ghost town

All the boys shout it out loud now All the girls scream it out louder We don't want to We don't have to live like that

Hold me back you know we're never gonna back down Hold me back you know we're never gonna back down

We're dead in this ghost town You better let go So let go, let go of me We're dead in this ghost town You better let go So let go, let go of me Let go, let go of me Let go, let go of me

Everyone living in ghost town Everyone buried in wasteland We don't want to We don't have to be like that Living in ghost town

All the boys shout it out loud now All the girls scream it out louder We don't want to We don't have to live like that

Hold me back you know we're never gonna back down Hold me back you know we're never gonna back down

We're dead in this ghost town You better let go So let go, let go of me We're dead in this ghost town You better let go So let go, let go of me Let go, let go of me Let go, let go of me

It's nearly over The last train is here And it's leaving behind those years These are the bad lands The worst taste in fear Making graves for the ones we left here

We're calling, calling to say goodbye

We're dead in this ghost town You better let go So let go, let go of me We're dead in this ghost town You better let go So let go, let go of me Let go, let go of me Let go, let go of me

sounds like it could be about a bunch of people living in a city where no one goes any where and they just get dragged down after a while. "everyone buried in wasteland" and "we're dead in this ghost town". and perhaps the younger generation is trying to break a cycle of some sort. "all the boys shout it out loud now, all the girls scream it out louder, we don't want to, we don't have to live like that". or maybe the singer is trying to warn people not to stay before it's too late. "you better let go, so let go, let go of me". or maybe he's telling the people draggin him down to let him go so he can get out because he's "dead". but those are just ideas.

there's a few parts i have absolutely NO idea what they're saying

anyone know? thanks.

BTW, her voice/the music in this song reminds me alottt of creepshow by kerli, whom i also love.

Bad lambs or bad lands?

^thank youuuuu!

I think it's gotta just be another apocalyptic song. Everyone lately has been obsessed with an on coming apocalypse, and it kinda reminds me of the situation t the beginning of I am Legend (2007).

I think it is basically kids and rebellion.

Great song.

I thik it reminds me on how the use of technology drove them down into nothing. Has anyone seen the video lately?

i think its kids and rebellion too, but i think it goes beyond that, i think it's the way everyone is so blinded by society's rules and stuff like that

we need to let go of letting other people control ourselves, and free ourselves spritually instead of being controlled my "ghost town"
