Ghosts N Stuff
I’m getting tired of not being able to embed videos.
Like this one.
Well, anyway, here are the lyrics.
it’s been so long I’ve been out of my body with you
I feel alone, feel at home, feel like nothing is true
she took me to a place where my senses gave-way
turn it round, shut it down, what the people say
climbing up, killing time, let them give you some
take my hand and let it come, let it come, let it…take it back when she knows that your doing it right
cuz everybody else knows what their taking tonightbut I just wanna play it right
we’re gonna get there tonight!it’s been so far, I’ve been walking the line on my own
lift me up to the stars, we are coming home
I only had a chase, but were out of time
we are souls in the cold, physical design
set me free, set me out on the run
lift me up to the sun, to the sun, to the…we are burning down, we are burning down
it’s the way that you fake it, I know it’s too latebut I just want to play it right
we’re gonna get there tonight!I just want to take you down
we’re gonna get there tonight!but I just want to play it right
we’re gonna get there tonight!
Songs like these can be hard to analyze for one simple reason- they really don’t say much. Notice I said songs LIKE this one; this song has a true meaning behind it. What it seems to be happening to me (taken with the video, of course.) Some may disagree, or think I’m being naive, but I believe this song is another message about drugs. It seems that the narrator is describing his girlfriend encouraging him to take drugs, and, not wanting to upset her, agrees. The hospital scene in the video reflects this- he did not make a wise choice.
Don’t just take this as a “drugs are bad” message– it goes further than that. Acceptance is not worth your life; peer pressure IS effective; and desire to fit in actually is a huge influence. And if you think this is another “drugs are bad message”, enjoy the song anyway.
