My Chemical Romance - The Ghost of You Meaning

Song Released: 2005

The Ghost of You Lyrics

I never said I'd lie and wait forever
If I died we'd be together now
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 home
Could I?
Should I?
And...

   Gerard has said that it's about loss. The great thing is that somehow, Marc Webb had the intelligence to think of the one thing everyone has heard about, many have experienced, and was eaisly connected to the song (war) to base the video on.

   The Ghost of You I think is another song about his Grandmother dying, just like Helena. It has very powerful lyrics and brings tears to my eyes everytime.

   The song is about loss and the fear of losing someone who's close to you. And it also touches on how hard it is to lose someone. It's kind of similar to "Helena."

   I agree with Gerardlover123, artists rarely tell you the meanings of songs so that you can interpret the song in the way you want to.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   The song is basically about losing someone. The theme of war was used because wars really bring out the essense of losing the people you love.

   This song is just about anything you want to make it. Thats what artists do, they produce something and leave it to you to judge.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   This song is about the devastation that war brings and also how completely devastated Gerard would be if something killed his little brother Mikey.
