Mike Shinoda - Ghosts Lyrics






She said, "This is not about a poltergeist
Not about a phantom that glows at night"
But there're things we don't know and I
Don't have another choice but an open mind, oh
And I know what they'll say
I'm tryna make sense of what no one can explain
But I've been having dreams that after I'm awake
Play out in reality the very next day

So I play along
I nod my head when they say I'm wrong
But each night falls and away I run
On the other side 'til the daylight comes
So I play along
I nod my head when they say I'm wrong
But each night falls and away I run
On the other side 'til the daylight comes

And when the lights go down
I see things I can't explain calling out my name
The lights go down holding every memory close
Tonight is for our ghosts, ghosts, ghosts
Tonight is for our ghosts

This is not about you and me
I can't bring back how it used to be
And I know what I do believe
But I've already seen what I couldn't see, oh

So I play along
I nod my head when they say I'm wrong
But each night falls and away I run
On the other side 'til the daylight comes

And when the lights go down
I see things I can't explain calling out my name
The lights go down holding every memory close
Tonight is for our ghosts

And when the lights go down
Is there something in the air there but never there?
The lights go down holding every memory close
Tonight is for our ghosts

Ghosts, ghosts
Tonight is for our ghosts
Ghosts, ghosts
Tonight is for our ghosts

  7. T.... ....

    This video is brilliant.
    I think the sock puppet on the right represents Chester.
    It's like, tonight, even though it's not real in this world, let's just entertain the memories and be together with our souls.
    It's playful (sock puppets), but also twisted (for lack of a better word (visual sqiggly effects)), and laced with death (skull and ghost motifs).
    Brilliant song and video.
    Visually appealing too.
    Made me cry. And smile.
