Ghosts in the Radio
City Nights Echo with Ghostly Melodies
Lyrics
It's on, and the ghosts
Introduction to the presence of ghosts in the radio.
In the radio are signing along
The ghosts in the radio are singing along with something.
And they go ohhhh
An expression of the ghosts' singing, represented by "ohhhh."
No stars out, just the city light
Describing the absence of stars and the dominance of city lights.
Well nothing feels as good as the night
Emphasizing the pleasurable feeling of the night.
Can you heard them go ohhhh?
Asking if the listener can hear the ghosts' singing.
Ghosts are in the radio,
Reiteration of the presence of ghosts in the radio.
They sing along, they sing along
Highlighting that the ghosts in the radio are actively singing along.
This city is quiet, it feels like we own it
Describing the quietness of the city and the feeling of ownership.
But nothing really lasts forever
Acknowledging the transient nature of things, stating that nothing lasts forever.
And we know it
Expressing awareness of the impermanence of the sense of ownership.
It had started to rain, but we didn't care
Setting the scene with rain and indifference to it.
Every word that was spoken
Highlighting the significance of spoken words in the air.
Held onto the air
Comparing words to ghosts that float toward the sky.
Like a ghosts and floated towards the sky
Continuation of the metaphor of words as ghosts.
I pulled my jacket tight,
The speaker tightening their jacket, possibly in response to the rain.
And the city lit up the night
City lights illuminating the night.
With the green glow of the Camlin Hotel
Reference to the green glow of the Camlin Hotel.
Ghosts are in the radio,
Reiteration of the ghosts' presence in the radio.
They sing along, they sing along [x2]
Confirmation that the ghosts are actively singing along (repeated twice).
It's on and the ghosts in the radio
Reintroduction to the ongoing presence of ghosts in the radio.
Are singing along
Confirmation of the ghosts singing along again.
And they go ohhh
Reiteration of the expressive sound "ohhh" associated with the ghosts.
No stars out, just the city light
Restating the absence of stars and the dominance of city lights.
Well nothing feels as good as the night
Reaffirming the exceptional feeling of the night.
Can you hear them go ohhhh?
Repeating the question about hearing the ghosts' singing.
Ghosts are in the radio,
Reiteration of the ghosts' presence in the radio.
They sing along, they sing along [x2]
Confirmation that the ghosts are actively singing along (repeated twice).
