Paranoia, Ghosts & Other Sounds Lyrics
Standing up on solid ground
The earth below my feet's still falling down
The whispers & the creaks aren't sounds
They're voices in my head
That still surround (Saying)
All that I needed
I need your love
They said time isn't waiting for you
All that I needed
I need your love
They said time isn't waiting for you
Close my eyes & count to ten
The walls on either side are closing in
Can you hear my thoughts right now
Oh paranoia, ghosts & other sounds (Saying)
All that I needed
I need your love
They said time isn't waiting for you
All that I needed
I need your love
They said time isn't waiting for you
I said that I won't run
I said to hold my tongue
And do I think aloud
Wait can you hear me now
I said that I won't run
I said to hold my tongue
And do I think aloud
Wait can you hear me now
The earth below my feet's still falling down
The whispers & the creaks aren't sounds
They're voices in my head
That still surround (Saying)
I need your love
They said time isn't waiting for you
I need your love
They said time isn't waiting for you
The walls on either side are closing in
Can you hear my thoughts right now
Oh paranoia, ghosts & other sounds (Saying)
I need your love
They said time isn't waiting for you
I need your love
They said time isn't waiting for you
I said to hold my tongue
And do I think aloud
Wait can you hear me now
I said to hold my tongue
And do I think aloud
Wait can you hear me now

ahh the sounds of slowly going insane....
This struck really hard for me after recovering from deep depression.
"Standing up on solid ground. The earth below my feet's still falling down." felt really symbolic of the image in my head of trying to find a platform to keep from falling into this black abyss in my head.
The voices referenced for me weren't actual voices, or even schizophrenic voices, but instead the barrage of thoughts, and even moreso feelings, that felt like they were always tugging at me, trying to pull me under, and make me give in. Even thinking about it now is an incredibly powerful feeling.
Absolutely love this song.
