The Ghost of You

The Ghost of You
by: My Chemical Romance

If I died, we'd be together
I can't always just forget her
But she could try

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming homeCould I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever ever...
Ever...

Get the feeling that you're never
All alone and I remember now
At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies
She dies

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me

If I fall

At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see

Never coming homeNever coming home

And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar meFor all the ghosts that are never gonna...

My interpretation of the song, The Ghost of You by My Chemical Romance, is that its about losing a loved one and having regrets for not saying enough and only having memories. The music video for this song is pictured in WWII but the song itself is not about war itself but the feelings one may feel in war and the loss that that comes with it.

One of the versus says “And all the things that you never ever told me/And all the smiles that are ever ever” (10, 11). I feel this represents losing someone and the sadness for not having enough time with this person. The song also repeats the verse “Never coming home” many times. To me this signifies that this will be the end of this person, in this case they will never return from war leaving you with only memories or “the ghost of you”.

Many people can relate to these feelings of loss and the sadness of being left with only the memories of their loved ones. It’s a great song so if you’d like to check it out you can click on the link below
