You're a carrier, a carrier, of the light inside of you?
Glows green in the pitch black night Can't tell anyone, it's hurting you So hold it in, cover up, pull up your sheets A torpedo cruising in the ocean, and soon it's due
So I got to sit up, sit up For my heart to come down
The ghoulish entities, they come floating through the walls Ghostly enemies, they come floating through your door
And the ghoulish entities, they come floating through the walls From the past, from the past And they're somewhere right before you like the ghost of Christmas past
I was always floating around the city Go with the flow without ever knowing where I wanna be So I got into crazy situations A loyal soldier who acts, but never asks: "Why am I flying on my back? With the moon looking down? Where's my band? Where's anything at all? And why's the ceiling going to black?"
The ghoulish entities, they come floating through the walls Ghostly enemies, they come floating through your door And the ghoulish entities, they come floating through the wall From the past, from the past And they're somewhere right before you like the ghost of Christmas past
Don't, that hurts, and anything's coming unless you go, And you can't break the chasing ghosts So much so, when they come back but never ask At your side, at your soul When they come back but never ask
The ghoulish entities, they come floating through the walls Ghostly enemies, they come floating through your door And the ghoulish entities, they come floating through the wall From the past, from the past And they're somewhere right before you like the ghost of Christmas past Starts the theme of a nightmares which runs throughout the song, pull up your sheets being a metaphor for hiding from something. Continues the idea of a nightmare, as the idea up the being unable to sit up is most likely a reference to suffering from sleep paralysis. It suggests something constantly visits him in his sleep Reference to Scrooge and being haunted for your sins, and the idea of something floating through the walls suggests that whatever the narrator is experiencing is uncontrollable, as walls cant keep it out. This part suggests that there is no way he can beat his demons, so instead he has no choice but to become one with them when making the video this could be the point where he changes as a character. Suggests that he has become a slave to the ghosts as he never asks why these things are happening, just in the same way a soldier has no right to question what he is told to do. The phrase from the past is one of the most repeated parts of the song, in order to show that whatever is haunting the narrator is something which he believes he is finished with.
