The Symphony Lyrics

Lyric discussion by tendymaffy 

Cover art for The Symphony lyrics by Snow Patrol

I beleive the song talks about someone who dreads the uncertain future and wonders what will become of him. He knows that what he hopes to come out well might turn into failure (your ghosts look more like angels from here). The writer goes on to advice that you determine what your future looks like (If this is all you ever ask for, then this is all you'll get)
