Ghosts Lyrics

I'm sure this song has a deep meaning, but it's just hard to decipher because the song writer wanted to be as vague as possible.

Well, the "Ghost in me" chorus isn't hard to figure out, it seems like somewhere in the speaker regrets an action they will, have, or are taking. But, the speaker still feels justified for their action regardless of the sympathy they feel for the audience.

However, the "Prince with a thousand enemies" line is so abstract, that I have to think it's a reference to something else. It could be a reference to Richard Adams "Watership Down". The character El-ahrairah would be the "Prince with a thousand enemies" from that book.

I think it's possible that the ONLY relationship between the speaker and the audience is one between a rabbit and his/her owner. Either that, or the speaker is also a rabbit.

It makes plenty of sense, the deal with the wolf and the rabbits when you watch the music video. I don't entirely understand the entire song, however.

I hope someone can decipher the rest of the song for us soon. It's pretty good. :)
