Through The Ghost Lyrics

Speaking of the devil look how just walked into the room
The guilted invaded notion of someone I once knew
All the perfect moments are wrong
All the precious pieces are gone
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust
Covered in both of us

Did you hide yourself away
I can't see you any more
Did you eclipse another day
I used to wake up to the color of your soul
Did you hide your self away
Are you living through the ghost
Did you finally find a place above the shadows
Of a world we'll never know
The world will never know you like I do

So many silent sorrows you'll never hear from again
And now that you'v lost tomorrow, is yesterday still a friend
All the bridges that built will burn
Not a single lesson was learned
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust
Covered in both of us

Did you hide yourself away
I can't see you any more
Did you eclipse another day
I used to wake up to the color of your soul
Did you hide your self away
Are you living through the ghost
Did you finally find a place above the shadows
Of a world we'll never know
The world will never know you like I do

Like I still do

Did you hide your self away
I can't see you any more
Did you eclipse another day
I used to wake up to the color of your soul
Did you hide your self away
Are you living through the ghost
Did you finally find a place above the shadows
Of a world we'll never know
The world will never know you

I have Bi Polar Disorder. At 42 years of age I have just found my place above the shadows...

I driven everyone who love's me away from me... except, thank you God... my wife Kelly.

Now... how do I start over? Do I want to start over???

Will the world ever know??? Will I ever know???

"So the world will never know" instead "Of a world we'll never know"

I'm very mad at the lyric person for this song, so many mistakes! This is my favorite song on the album, not only for the lyrics but the music as well. This song is about when you take a step back from life and realize you lost yourself and who you are on the path you are taking. It's about resetting your life and putting it back on track.

I think that this is kind of asking if you hid your true personality and feelings away and are just a shell of your former self. And if its so the world doesn't know your true self like this other person really knows you.

That's just what I think, I could be wrong.

My Interpretation

I always thought that this song was about a guy who sees his ex.

She has descended into a life of drugs, and she's a ghost of what she once was. She has withdrawn from all of her friends and family because of her addiction, and she has hidden away in the shadowy world of abuse. The world will never know her, because the drugs have taken such a toll on her that she will never be that vibrant person he once knew.
