Wraithlike Lyrics

no - bland it is. i read that in this song he's addressing his fellow band members that kept frowning at his lyrics, asking "what's that supposed to be about?" all the time. i guess it's not just about that - it's also about memories, about how time alters your memory of something or someone and when you try to write it down it's like chasing ghosts - whenever you try to grab it your hands just slide right through it. so, the only thing you can get are little pieces of what you remember and while you try to put them together you get a bit lost and in the end it makes sense to you but to no one else anymore.
