Weighty Ghost Lyrics

Cover art for Weighty Ghost lyrics by Wintersleep

does anybody else think this song could be about dealing with a tumour or brain cancer of some sort?

Cut the demons out of my head You can't kill something that's already dead Just leave my soul alone I don't need no surgery Take those knives away from me Just wanna die in my own body

the reference to surgery at the bottom maybe? just a thought, i may be taking it too literally of course...

I thought, so too. Or about living with a mental illness or some other disease where your body feels detached from your 'self'.

@rainbowkid I did. I thought that the part where he says "where'd my body go?" was him about to have surgery and having to sign that "donor" form, that damn form you have to sign that asks you to donate your organs should you die in surgery. You wonder where your body parts go, as you disassociate from your own body while signing your name on the dotted line. You look in the mirror one last time and just see a ghost looking back.
