42JTR Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 This is as far as could get for the lyrics... Maybe I'm just a ghost Disappear when anybody's close Go through you when you travel Travel over near Maybe I'm just a ghost Emptied by 'em, anybody knows Maybe another ruse Or I'm not even here Yeah, everytime I try to walk through walls My walls of fear What's the point of feeling love for you When you don't believe I'm here Once upon try to raise your voice If no one ever hears Everytime I try to pull you close you disappear Maybe I'm a ghost Just a whisper in a puff of smoke A secret that no body knows The one'll never hear Oh maybe I'm a ghost A spectre on a roller-coast. Thorn without a rose Something people fear Yeah, everytime I try to walk through walls It's all become clear What's the point of feeling love for you When you don't believe I'm here What's the point of saying I said rescue me If no one ever hears Everytime I try to pull you close You disappear Everytime I try to pull you close You disappear And everytime I try to walk through walls It's all become clear Everytime I try to pull you close You disappear Everytime I try to pull you close You disappear Please add your own thoughts so we can decipher the lyrics! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gai Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 posted this on the song thread too. this is what i hear: Maybe I'm just a ghost Disappear when anybody's close Go through you when you travel, travel near Maybe I'm just a ghost Emptied by anybody knows (?) Maybe I'm a ruse Or I'm not even here Yeah Every time I try to walk through walls More walls appear What's the point of feeling love for you When you don't believe I'm here What's the point of trying to raise your voice If no one ever hears Every time I try to pull you close You disappear Maybe I'm a ghost Just a whisper in a puff of smoke Secret that nobody knows No one will ever hear Or maybe I'm a ghost Specter on a roller-coast Thorn without a rose Something people fear Yeah And every time I thought I'll walk through walls It's all becoming clear What's the point of feeling love for you When you don't believe I'm here What's the point of saying "rescue me" If no one ever hears Every time I try to pull you close You disappear Every time I try to pull you close You disappear And every time I thought I'll walk through walls It's all becoming clear Every time I try to pull you close You disappear Every time I try to pull you close You disappear for me, this is the best lyrical work from Chris since viva.

Squallo Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'm not a native speaker but I think I got it almost perfectly right: Maybe I'm just a ghost Disappear when anybody's close Go through you when you travel Travel over near Maybe I'm just a ghost Emptied by 'em, anybody knows Maybe I'm on a rose Or am I even here? yeah Every time I try to walk through walls More walls appear What's the point in feeling love for you When you don't believe I'm here What's the point in trying to raise your voice If no one ever hears Every time I try to pull you close You disappear Maybe I'm a ghost Just a whisper in a perfect smoke A secret that nobody knows No one will ever hear Oh maybe I'm a ghost Specter of the wrong cause Fallen out of rose Something people fear yeah And every time I find I'm off the walls It's all becoming clear What's the point in feeling love for you When you don't believe I'm here What's the point in saying 'Rescue me!' If no one ever hears Every time I try to pull you close You disappear Every time I try to pull you close You disappear And every time I find I'm off the walls It's all becoming clear Every time I try to pull you close You disappear Every time I try to pull you close You disappe...!

kspillers2 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Maybe I'm a ruse.... ...sounds more like it's 'Maybe I'm on the ropes...' The other lines that are bugging me are....... '...emptied by'em anybody knows..." Something about those ^^seems off, only because the meaning is kinda unclear???....which of course doesn't mean they're wrong. AND ...."Spectre on a ?????.....ahhhhhhh!!!! no clue!!! C'mon people who are good at this shit, figure it out for me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LdySpace Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 This song is my favorite on the album. I think they lyrics are stellar (even though there are a few tiny question marks on what they exactly say). I can't stop listening to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvdmm Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Maybe I'm just a ghost Disappear when anybody's close Go through you when you try to hold Try to hold me near Maybe I'm just a ghost Emptier than anybody knows Maybe I'm on the ropes Or I'm not even here Yeah! Every time I try to walk through walls More walls appear Whats the point of feeling love for you when you don't believe I'm here Whats the point of trying to raise your voice if no one ever hears Every time I try to pull you close You disappear Maybe I'm a ghost Juts a whisper in a puff of smoke A secret that nobody knows No one will ever hear Or maybe I'm a ghost A specter on a roller coaster A thorn without a rose Something people fear Yeah! Every time I thought I walk through walls Its all become clear Whats the point of feeling love for you when you don't believe I'm here Whats the point in saying rescue me if no one ever hears Every time I try to pull you close You disappear Every time I try to pull you close You disappear Every time I thought I walk through walls Its all become clear Every time I try to pull you close You disappear Every time I try to pull you close You disappear Great lyrics.

periahdark Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I wonder why the image didn't include the last bit of the song where the chorus changes slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayden Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 What an amazing song, my favourite off the album. It's a shame it's not really "on" the album as such. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvdmm Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I wonder why the image didn't include the last bit of the song where the chorus changes slightly. I included that last part in my post above. I think initially when he wrote the song he intended for the last part to be similar to the rest of it but he changed the lyrics while recording.
