Ghost Lyrics
(Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost)
(Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost)
[Verse 1]
Today, I'm kinda feelin' like a ghost (Ghost)
Call my friends, but ain't nobody home (Home)
Tell myself I'm fine, but I don't really know (Know)
I'm just scared that I'll end up, I'll end up, I'll end up alone
I never let it show (Show)
But I feel like a missed call on a phone (Phone)
Tryna live my life, pay-as-you-go
But I'm so scared that I'll end up, I'll end up, I'll end up alone
[Chorus]
You know I'm like a ghost, sometimes I have to fade
And it haunts me that I have to be this way
You say it's gone cold, I say I'll do better
But I always seem to disappear again
You know I'm like a ghost, I see it in your face
And it haunts me that I have to be this way
You say it's gone cold, I say I'll do better
But I always seem to disappear again
You know I'm like a ghost
[Verse 2]
You know I never meant to cut you off
Got phantom feelings I can never solve
Stranger things to worry 'bout, I know
But I'm so scared that I'll end up, I'll end up, I'll end up alone
I can't see myself in the mirror
Does that mean I'm not really here?
I'm losin' touch with everything I know
And I'm so scared that I'll end up, I'll end up, I'll end up alone
You know I'm like a ghost, sometimes I have to fade
And it haunts me that I have to be this way
You say it's gone cold, I say I'll do better
But I always seem to disappear again
You know I'm like a ghost, I see it in your face
And it haunts me that I have to be this way
You say it's gone cold, I say I'll do better
But I always seem to disappear again
You know I'm like a ghost
[Bridge]
(Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost)
(Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost)
You know I'm like a ghost
(Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost)
(Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost, you know I'm like a ghost)
Ooh, I'll be okay, I'll be alright, I know
Ooh, I'll be okay, I'm just scared that I'll end up alone
(Ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
You know I'm like a ghost, I see it in your face
And it haunts me that I have to be this way
You say it's gone cold, I say I'll do better
But I always seem to disappear again
You know I'm like a ghost
About
“Ghost” appears on the Death Stranding: Timefall album, which is based off of Hideo Kojima’s 2019 video game, Death Stranding. The song reunites Ibizan singer Au/Ra and English-Norwegian producer Alan Walker, who a year prior collaborated on “Darkside”.
According to a Billboard Interview with Au/Ra, “Ghost” was written a few years ago when she was “beginning to feel lonely while on the road.” At the time, she was looking to connect with her friends and family, much like the game’s protagonist Sam Porter Bridges.
Au/Ra states in the interview, “All of these societies are completely defragmented and he’s trying to connect them again. That’s what I’m looking for in the song, too – connection.”
Death Stranding is an action-adventure game set in a post apocalyptic world where America has become invaded by ghost-like creatures called BTs (Beach Things) after a big catastrophic event known as the “Death Stranding” causes the country to become fragmented. The main protagonist, Sam Porter Bridges (played by Norman Reedus) is a porter who delivers medicine and other supplies. The subject of the game is to go across the country and help reconnect the cities to the Bridges network.
