Coheed And Cambria - Ghost Lyrics






At first I fight my curiosity
With welcomed hums and frightened fingers twitched anxiety
Here it comes a clean slate, picture perfect, no mistakes
How am I to keep from blemishing this masterpiece
How am I to know
How am I to know

As a boy, I watched the world through broken eyes
Given to me by a man, his wife, and all they had disguised
Uncertainty now keeps me asking how I lead the most
As they became or will I teach the examples of their ghosts

Free me from this body
I just wanna, wanna be on the outside looking in
Free me from this body
I just wanna, wanna be on the outside looking in

Free me
Free me

Coheed And Cambria Ghost Comments
  1. I.... ....

    Who the hell would dislike this?

  2. H.... ....

    Listen to this at 1.25 speed

  3. E.... J....

    I like to think this song is about Claudio’s struggle with how he is going to be a father to his son atlas and how he was raised by his parents. I always wonder if I will teach the examples of my parents ghost to my own one day.

  4. B.... A....

    One of my favorite songs in the world.
    Come to my channel and check out my Ghost cover <3

  5. J.... K....

    this song never fails to make me cry. just listened to it for the first time in like years and its 10:51am and i just woke up but im definitely crying

  6. T.... F....

    Iv said that to my Therapist "outside looking in"... y'all be hitting home

  7. �.... D....

    Audio Only ?

  8. e.... w....

    This could easily pass a song of Brand New from science fiction album

  9. Y.... C....

    I'm not crying, you're crying

  10. A.... K....

    this song is so soulful and sad at the same time. Claudio is an Genius. Long live to CC

  11. p.... ....

    i disliked, only because i had to wait 30 seconds to listen to the song the first time, then i clicked replay and had to wait another 15 seconds.. wtf ill never get those 45 seconds back

    p.... ....

    oh, another 30 seconds, jesus christ, the song is only 2 minutes 45 seconds......

  12. b.... ....

    Extremely under appreciated song.

  13. O.... ....

    I really love this album for its lack of dense subject matter. Not that there is anything wrong with the amory wars, but this is such a breath of fresh air.

  14. S.... E....

    Easily my favorite song from "The Color Before The Sun"

    S.... E....

    But it's too short ;-;

  15. A.... C....

    just showed this to my girlfriend and she loves it 😱!

  16. L.... H....

    is the guy from blue October in this song

  17. B.... T....

    This song is a fucking masterpiece.

  18. J.... R....

    Okay, I absolutely love this album. Ghost is such a calm piece compared to the rest of the album and especially all the tracks before it that just are fast paced and this song just calms everything down. Favorite song from the track. It not only is almost perfect musically when it comes to acoustics, but it's thought provoking lyrically. It makes me think of my life and many events in it despite how short it's been considering high school isn't too far. Still the lyrics resonate with me and how it's impossible to be perfect in life even if you start over. The inevitability that you will make a mistake, however it adds to yourself. Seriously, one of my favorite songs.

  19. W.... K....

    man what a journey from second stage to now. long live coheed

  20. T.... ....

    Kinda sounds like Brand New!

  21. A.... G....

    this song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it

  22. j.... P....

    reminds me of very awesome Simon and Garfunkel, if you know who that is, then you know it's a compliment.

  23. R.... W....

    Lovely tune :-)

  24. s.... e....

    This goes out to the three people that disliked this song.. "Go Fuck Yourself"... That is all.

  25. D.... ....

    likewise

  26. J.... ....

    Geez. This song makes time stop. So beautiful

  27. F.... ....

    Really nice song, it remind me a lot televators by mars volta!

  28. D.... R....

    This song makes my eyes water. EVERY TIME.

  29. h.... ....

    I listen to this when I'm sad and moody. So a lot.

  30. C.... L....

    Sad and beautiful

  31. A.... S....

    They played this song backwards in beginning at Aftershock festival but I can't find it backwards :(

  32. J.... B....

    This song is great. My favourite from the new record on first hearing... I sure hope you get to meet up with the Grumps. Fingers crossed for you!

  33. b.... ....

    This. This is the song.

  34. L.... V....

    what... the...F#$K? i didn't know songs like this were still made.... just amazing..... very hard to believe that's Claudio's voice.... awesome song

  35. S.... ....

    Backing vocals at 1:40 are top notch.

  36. J.... R....

    Who is the other singer?

    J.... R....

    +Jørgen Sivertsen Their drummer Josh Eppard does a lot of backup vocals if you watch some of their acoustic shows, so I would guess him. Definitely sounds like him.

    J.... R....

    @gopats1184 I figured he was talking about the singer in the verse, which is Claudio.  The backing vocals in the chorus are female.

    J.... R....

    @SHA8UTIE Ah ok, yeah I was referencing the verse, but I didn't realize that was Claudio.

    J.... R....

    +Jørgen Sivertsen Travis Stevers sings lead in this, Claudio is singing upper harmony

    J.... R....

    I guess it's Claudio's wife, Chondra

  37. t.... b....

    Woke up singing this..must be good!!

  38. I.... M....

    This isn't Claudio singing right? I mean the backing vocals are clearly his, who does the main ones? I like the sound though!

    I.... M....

    It's all Claudio.

    I.... M....

    +Ivo Maatman He has gotten a good grasp on his voice control recently... And I love it.

  39. S.... ....

    I love coheed but..this might be the only song from their new album that really still has that coheed sound (along with the afterman tone in Here to Mars). Fantastic song

    S.... ....

    Shchphinkter11 The Audience had those tones.

  40. S.... ....

    you guys are still the best after all these years.

  41. T.... C....

    Think I got it:

    Drop E to C

    cycle open c, third fret on A and open G, and on "eeing me" put a finger on the 5th fret of C string

  42. T.... C....

    Must learn how to play this. RIght now.

  43. P.... B....

    leave it to coheed to take like 4 notes and turn it into a God damn masterpiece. lol

  44. G.... ....

    I wish this song went on longer. 3 minutes is not enough....

  45. T.... F....

    Real ambient.

  46. J.... C....

    Every song is my favorite in its own way. This is why I like Coheed and Cambria so much.

  47. I.... W....

    Beautiful.

  48. G.... ....

    This has the potential to be my favorite coheed song. I knew not to give up hope for the album after ygs,k. I am so much in love with this track.

  49. B.... F....

    no joke they the reason i met my wife...forever thankful

    B.... F....

    +BigIron Fist we're going through so many problems as a result of a breakup that never really was, and if i have the courage to get over all our bullshit and marry her, i will be able to say the same thing. Literally the reason I first messaged her on Facebook after meeting her as a coworker was because she liked both Coheed & Cambria and some of my favorite death metal bands, namely Gorguts, on Facebook.

    B.... F....

    +BigIron Fist It's such a cliche sentiment but Coheed & Cambria literally fucking changed my life.

    B.... F....

    +CorporateNothing i feel you bro.. i hope it all works out for you man...

    B.... F....

    wow, that is awesome!

    B.... F....

    Met my GF after a few months of depression after a bad break up. One day I had a few drinks.. then I wanted more, ended up going to a bar to drink my pains away. Played all kinds of Coheed and Cambria the bar hated me, I could careless.. I was rocking out, so was a girl a few seats away from me. She broke the ice and saved me from my darkness. Devil in Jersey City , I'll never forget. Thanks Coheed and Cambria .. much love :)

  50. C.... W....

    I need a loop of this that goes for like 10 hours

    C.... W....

    +Connor Wallace-Christensen  
    double-right click video
    3rd option down is loop
    might be more than 10 hours
    I know it was for me

  51. T.... W....

    Brilliant

  52. T.... M....

    This is my second favorite song on the album behind here to mars

  53. M.... ....

    this is my favorite from the new album :)

  54. R.... H....

    Only good song on the album

    R.... H....

    +Ryan Hall Bro you gotta re-listen a few times to start to love it all, just like all coheed albums (with the exception on YOTBR)

    R.... H....

    Ismael Echeverria YOTBR is a masterpiece!

  55. t.... ....

    Holy shit this song is so good. you guys rocked ST LOUIS. thanks for the tunes.

  56. T.... ....

    That was epic

  57. B.... F....

    this one's f***** awesome!!!!!!!!!

  58. P.... T....

    how many acoustic tracks on this album?

    P.... T....

    +Patrick Teaches the World Quite a few of the songs on this album are slower, acoustic numbers in relation to their last few albums, but I'm okay with that. I'm loving this album.

    P.... T....

    +Jacob Minger no don't get me wrong I love their acoustic stuff! Thanks though.

  59. A.... ....

    How do you guys make such perfect songs?!

  60. S.... B....

    Sounds like a song that Claudio would release if there was another Prize Fighter Inferno album.

    S.... B....

    +Samuel Blenke There's plenty songs in this album that I feel should have been in another PFI album.

    S.... B....

    +Bastion Boulregard he was actually contemplating doing this new album solo, but couldn't leave the band out. Though this is his most personal album.

    S.... B....

    +Samuel Blenke Yup I love it. Half Measures is one of my favorite songs I want more Prize Fighter!
