Cover art for Great Ghosts lyrics by Microphones, The

I love this song. It's beautiful. To me he's left for a while, to free himself of tormenting memories that surround him (ghosts). He envisions high hopes of his return. In the midst, he realizes that he can not forget. These memories and thoughts keep creeping up...it's like a heavy burden. He can not let go. He will forever feel, and be, who he's always been. Though he had gone and tried to change...to forget, he has surrendered to himself, and his memories...regardless of how painful.

I don't know really. This is just an old favorite song of mine. We all think we can run away from problems and hurt. We cannot.
