Ghost is about being away from the person you love for a long enough period of time that you begin to forget their face and your mind begins to create a variation of that individual that is an attempt at accuracy. Yet you are stuck with this imitation that is less then satisfactory due to the fact that the brain is unable to recreate with all the perfection and imperfection that processes a human being.
lyrics
You've been gone awhile, off making friends and living life
I don't want to hold you back, I can wait until next time
I'm doing the best I can to remember, your face
You are just a shadow, a shade, a ghost
You are not the one I know and love the most
You are just a ghost a shadow a shade
You are just a creature my thoughts have made
I'm not looking for you, you're not real
Your face is a blurred out space in my imagination
Your love is a falsehood now
My subconscious projection of you is not the truth
But it is what I hold onto
I'm doing the best I can to remember, your face
You are just a shadow, a shade, a ghost
You are not the one I know and love the most
You are just a ghost a shadow a shade
You are just a creature my thoughts have made
I'm not looking for you, you're not real
