Ever feel like life’s a messy art project you’re terrified to screw up? Coheed and Cambria paint that picture vividly here. Our protagonist wrestles with the anxiety of keeping his “clean slate” pristine, all while haunted by the blurry vision of his upbringing. His parents handed him a pair of cracked lenses through which he saw the world—thanks, Mom and Dad! Now, he's stuck wondering if he'll repeat their ghostly mistakes or break free from their spectral grip. Ultimately, he just wants to escape his own skin and get a fresh perspective. In essence, it’s an existential crisis wrapped in a rock anthem—a haunting reminder that sometimes the scariest ghosts are the ones we inherit.
Ghost
Lyrics
I fuss and fight my curiosity
With welcome hums and fragment fingers, twitched anxiety
Here it comes, a clean slate, picture perfect, no mistakes
How am I to keep from blemishing this masterpiece?
How am I to know? How am I to know?
As a boy, I watched the world through broken eyes
Given to me by a man, his wife and all they had disguised
Uncertainty now keeps me asking how I'll lead the most
As they became, or will I teach the examples of their ghost?
Freeing me from this body
I just wanna, wanna be on the outside looking in
Freeing me from this body
I just wanna, wanna be on the outside looking in
Free me
Free me
