About This Track

'Ghost' by Coheed and Cambria is a 2015 hard rock track from the album 'The Color Before the Sun'. The lyrics are anxious and self-interrogating, with a speaker wrestling with curiosity and fear, as if trying to approach something pristine and easily marred. The refrain-like insistence on not knowing turns that nervous awe into a loop of doubt, while an earlier perspective frames the whole confession through “broken eyes”.

"Ghost" is a track by Coheed and Cambria, from the album The Color Before the Sun, released 15th October 2015. The track is 2:45 long. It's filed under Hard Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Coheed and Cambria.

Lyrics

Ghost

I fuss and fight my curiosity
With welcomed arms and frightened fingers twitched anxiety
Here he 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'll 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... On you
Free me... from this body
I just wanna, wanna be on the outside looking in... On you

Free me
Free me
