Danger: Wildman

I KNOW A GHOST!

i personally think this song is kind of about humanity's selfishness as a whole.

"vanity is a sepulchre" a sepulchre is a grave (i looked it up haha) so it's kind of self-explainatory.

"do as you please shame will follow" basically saying continue partying and sinning, but the shame will always be there.

"languages rot and insects lose interest / mountains of plastic melting away" kind of explaining how everything will end eventually, there'll come a day when we no longer have language, when even insects are gone, and all man-made things (plastics) will eventually be destroyed.

"as long as these struggles are aimless we will all be standing still" as long as humanity doesn't have a clear goal in mind, all the science and organizations, etc etc, won't move us forward because we don't know where we're going.

"when worded correctly truth is never a cliche / this is because so many are attached to their deaf ears" this is definitely my favourite line :) i think it's pretty obvious.

"all mistakes can be marked by borders / all of love can be traced to a maker" i think this means all our mistakes have an ending, they can't go on forever, and that God is the source of all love.

"the sun and the moon / you'll always take them for granted" kind of, again, showing how selfish we've become, that we can't even appreciate our sources of light.

"what's delicate is lost" this could be saying that in today's generation of people who didn't learn manners, it's kind of less important to be diplomatic.

"as the stupid forget what is sacred / the humble forget themselves" as the stupid people have forgotten the things we should hold higher than everything else (family, love, spirituality, etc) the humble forget themselves in the love of God and in the grandness of nature.

this is just my own interpretation, however, i absolutely love this song no matter what it means! :)

"When worded correctly, truth is never a cliche." I love that line. Beautiful.

I KNOW A GHOST, And when doubted his truth reveals incredible vengeance. Vanity is a sepulcher. Do as you please, shame will follow. Languages rot and insects lose interest; MOUNTAINS OF PLASTIC: MELTING AWAY. As long as these struggles are aimless, we will all be standing still. When worded correctly, truth is never a cliche; This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears. All mistakes can be marked by borders. All of love can be traced to a marker. IT SEEMS AS IF WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT, ISN'T NOTICED WHEN FORGOTTEN. Do as you please, shame will follow. The sun and the moon: you'll always take them for granted. What's delicate is lost. As the selfish forgot what is sacred, The humble forget themselves. When worded correctly, truth is never a cliche; This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears.

Those the correct lyrics, I recieved my CD today.

I KNOW A GHOST, And when doubted his truth reveals incredible vengeance. Vanity is a sepulcher, Do as you please, shame will follow. Languages rot and insects lose interest, Mountains of plastic: Melting away. As long as these struggles are aimless, We will all be standing still. When worded correctly, truth is never a cliché; This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears. Collect the leaves, Count them, Name them, Study each and every single one of them. As long as these struggles are aimless, We will all be standing still. When worded correctly, truth is never a cliché; This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears. All mistakes can be marked by borders, All of love can be traced to a maker. It seems as if what is most important, Isn't noticed when forgotten. Do as you please, shame will follow. The sun and the moon, You'll always take them for granted. What's delicate is lost. As the selfish forgot what is sacred, The humble forget themselves. When worded correctly, truth is never a cliché; This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears.

my line for line interpretation haha i enjoy doing it:

I know a ghost, And when doubted his truth reveals incredible vengeance.

saying that he knows a something or someone, maybe a prophet like phenomena that has warnings or prophecies that will bring bad consequences if not followed or listened to

Vanity is a sepulcher,

a sepulcher is a tomb saying that pride will be your demise

Do as you please and shame will follow

saying that you can do whatever you want but there will be consequences

Languages rot and insects lose interest; Mountains of plastic; melting away

saying how cultures are dying and conformity is beginning to take over notice how English is becoming one of the most common languages and is shadowing over what some consider less relevant languages this is an example not necessarily the one used in this song mountains of plastic refers to such fragile foundations and that they can be destroyed easily

As long as these struggles are aimless, We will all be standing still, standing still.

if our efforts have no meaning or purpose we wont move forward or achieve anything. like running in place

When worded correctly, truth is never a cliche; This is because so many are attached to their deaf ears.

referring to ignorant people those who arent open-minded and no matter how many times we say something important (truth) it will never get old depending on how we depict it

Collect the leaves, count them, name them. Study each and every single one of them.

maybe saying how we should appreciatted everything and be less ignorant

chorus

All mistakes can be marked by borders. All of love can be traced to a maker. It's seems as if what is most important, Isn't noticed when forgotten

saying that all mistakes can be distinguished by something and that emotions show proof or lead us to a maker: god next line self-explanatory

"The sun and the moon: you'll always take them for granted. What's delicate is lost, is lost. As the selfish forgot what is sacred, The humble forget themselves."

we dont appreciate the things most important and we dont realize that we might not have them the next day.
even the best of people can falter

comments on this?

Dayuuuuuuuuuum wish the whole album lyrics were up

Albums amaazing :)

I've gotten about the same amount of lyrics as you, but I have a few corrections. It sounds like "Vanity is a sepulchre" rather than "Fear not, she is a simple girl" And that would make the next two lines "...shame will follow".

You also need to post the chorus even if everyone knows it:

As long as these struggles are endless When will I be standing still (standing still)

And then there's the part where Jeremy is singing later in the song:

All mistakes can be marked by borders All of love can be traced to _____ It seems as if what is most important Is unnoticed when forgotten

That's my input. Anyways incredible song.

for me personally, the best line in this song is 'as long as these struggles are aimless, we will all be standing still.' it captures the intent of the song perfectly.

by far the best song on the album, musically at least.

I think this means that people are stubborn and usually won't listen to anyone else. The whole "deaf ears" thing.
