'Ghosts' by Deftones is a 2011 hard rock track from the album 'Covers'. Its lyrics move through a late, dim quietness, with the speaker stuck by rain and indecision, trying to get away but finding “the ghosts of my life” return. Lines about broken doors give it a strained, self-castigation edge, as whatever has been left behind seems to grow more forceful rather than fade. The overall impression is of persistence under pressure, where retreat never quite happens.
"Ghosts" is a track by Deftones, from the album Covers, released 15th April 2011. The track is 4:28 long. It's filed under Hard Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 14 articles about Deftones.

A Radio 1 play brought early attention to Black Peaks, but their 2016 debut ‘Statues’ was built to hold far more than one breakout song.

From the reshaping of ‘Measly Means’ to ‘Opportunity Arising’ and Reading & Leeds previews, Villanelle have given several indications that their sound is widening.

Black Peaks’ second album joined Brexit-era disconnection to the exhaustion of a band that had spent years moving without much chance to stop.

From Cyndi Lauper and Madonna to Deftones, the Cars, Ramones and Shangri-Las, Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss have described influences as practical writing tools rather than a checklist of sounds to borrow.

A newcomer’s route through Deftones’ ten studio records, from the urgency of ‘Adrenaline’ to the expansive ‘Private Music’.

Arlo Parks’ ‘Devotion’ drew on Deftones, My Bloody Valentine and the emotional catharsis that first drew her to emo.
