Name: Ghost Of What We Know
Duration: P00H04M22S
Description: This song is about letting go. From beliefs that have dictated your life so far, childhood rituals or people whose ideals you followed. When becoming an adult every person comes to the point of taking a closer look at their inner life and thinking about what to let go of or keep. For me, it was finding a new way of looking at the faith I had been growing up with and ultimately letting it go.

lyrics

I saw you like no other,
for many years I’ve tried.
I listened to your voices,
many times we´ve sighed.
We share a special bond
I thought could never break.

I guess we’ve hit a wall,
no windows left in sight.
The voices quiet down.
I wonder if you lied.
I wonder if it´s me, or who could take the blame.

Oh, when they talk about you
they say that you’re more than a man.
Maybe you’re just a ghost, a ghost, a ghost, a ghost.
Oh, when they refer to you,
they list all the things that you do.
Maybe you’re just a ghost, a ghost, a ghost, a ghost
of what we know.

You left without a word
you didn’t make a sound  
And every thought I had
was haunted by your crown.
And every word I said
was one more step away.

Heaven knows I’ve tried,
tried like everytime.
It seems like I have failed,
miserably failed.
And every word I said
was one more step away.
