If You Have Ghosts Lyrics
If you have ghosts
Than you have everything
If you have ghosts
Than you have everything
You can say anything you want
and you can do anything you want
If you have ghosts
Than you have everything
One never does that
One never does that
You can call it
Surprise there it is
The moon to the left of me
is a part of my thoughts
is a part of me is me
one never does that
in the night I am real
in the night I am real
The moon to the left of me
is a part of my thoughts
is a part of me is me
Wherever is the wind
is a part of my thoughts
is a part of me is me
In the night I am real
I don't want me
fangs too long
I don't want my
fangs too long
The moon to the left of me
is a part of my thoughts
is a part of me is me
Forever is the wind
to the left of me
is a part of my thoughts
is a part of me is me
I don't want my
fangs too long
If you have ghosts
than you have everything
Than you have everything
If you have ghosts
Than you have everything
and you can do anything you want
Than you have everything
One never does that
Surprise there it is
is a part of my thoughts
is a part of me is me
in the night I am real
is a part of my thoughts
is a part of me is me
is a part of my thoughts
is a part of me is me
fangs too long
fangs too long
is a part of my thoughts
is a part of me is me
to the left of me
is a part of my thoughts
is a part of me is me
fangs too long
than you have everything

Pagans use a symbol called the triple moon which shows a full moon in the middle with a waxing crescent moon to the left and a waning one to the right. These represent three stages of life. In many pagan traditions, the three moons are described in female terms (in accordance with the goddess that many pagans worship). The waxing crescent represents the maiden (hence youth) and the waning crescent represents the crone (old age, death). The writer refers to "the moon to the left of me"; from the writer's perspective he is referring to old age. The future is clearly on his mind, ghosts are often a metaphor for memories and one's past. I think the lyrics are about never learning from mistakes, the ghosts should enable you to (have everything) but for us imperfect humans they don't.
brilliant track!
embrace the strange
The song is about the loneliness in being schizophrenic paranoid. The ghosts are his only friends. They are in his imagination, so they are not even real.
I thought this song was about Werewolves, "I don't want my fangs too long"?
@stevenova1 It's partly meant to evoke images of werewolves but mostly it refers to the term 'long in the tooth'. When people get older their gums recede and their teeth look longer. He's saying he's worrying about death but he's afraid of being old and infirm, too.
