It seems to me that this song describes a low point in your life. The German sample in the intro translates to "because black ghosts, we all have them at some point in our life" and i think that sums up the song pretty well.\n\nThe black ghosts have gotten ahold of the main character of this song here and he describes trying to get rid of them, but they always come back to haunt him. The things he\'s done and regrets, the way it always gets the best of him... Yeah, i\'m pretty sure that\'s what the song is about.\n\nHe wants to get rid of the black ghosts, wanting to be free of them, but there\'s something of this sort of darkness within him and all of us, according to the song. It\'s not easy to get rid of. I think in the end he succeeds though, as on the album the song effortlessly transitions into the far more upbeat sounding To Earth With Love. A spark of hope within the sadness.
