Ghosts
Whispers of Love Lost: Ghostly City Nights by Black Light Smoke
Lyrics
The city is quiet
The city is calm and still.
Not a soul
No one is present.
There’s no one on the streets tonight
Empty streets with no people.
It’s a ghost town
Describing the city as deserted and lifeless.
The bright lights don’t shine on anyone
The vibrant lights are not illuminating anyone.
All i see is shadows in my soul
The speaker perceives only darkness within themselves.
Don’t make me say it, i can’t go on with out you
Expressing a reluctance to admit something, a dependency on another.
Don’t make me say it, i need you right here with me
A plea for the presence and companionship of the other person.
The bright lights don’t shine on anyone
Reiteration that the city lights lack significance without the other person.
When you don’t shine with me
The absence of the person diminishes the speaker's own brightness.
Our love it on the run
Suggesting that their love is in a state of pursuit or escape.
Holy ghost dancing shadows
Reference to spiritual or ethereal elements, possibly indicating a mystical or emotional experience.
Who do you love the most
Posing a question about the object of affection.
Will i ever know
Uncertainty about understanding the depth of love.
The city is quiet
Repetition of the quiet and still nature of the city.
Not a soul
No signs of life around.
There’s no one on the streets tonight
Emphasizing the empty streets again.
It’s a ghost town
Restating the city's emptiness, now labeled as a ghost town.
The bright lights don’t shine on anyone
Reiteration of the lack of illumination in the city lights.
All i see is shadows in my soul
The speaker's internal darkness persists.
Don’t make me say it, i can’t go on with out you
Reluctance to express something vital for survival without the other person.
Don’t make me say it, i need you right here with me
Expressing a strong need for the immediate presence of the other person.
The bright lights don’t shine on anyone
Highlighting the insignificance of city lights without the other person.
When you don’t shine with me
The absence of the person diminishes the speaker's own brightness (repeated).
Our love it on the run
Suggesting that their love is in a state of pursuit or escape (repeated).
