Psychedelic Furs: The Ghost In You Meaning
Song Released: 1984
The Ghost In You Lyrics
-
The Ghost In You is about celebrity relationships. News media, other celebrities, managers, the public, and time constraints get in the way of real relationships. However, because hindsight is 20/20, sometimes one realizes too late that "the One" got away. Many people have that one true love that got away. The ghost of that person and potential relationship haunts you. If you met the person now, they wouldn't be the same. If you had both connected then, both of you would be different and, you suspect, better.

Wow,I have to say that most of these interpretations are total krap ! Not that I know the meaning, but, come on....
-
The ghost in you is your spirit...The song might be sung to his lover reminding her that the ghost in her won’t fade. If she is dying she won’t be so afraid. What a beautiful song...well that’s my thinking anyways.

He was inline with this person and she got killed. Memory lives inside of him
-
I think it's a song about unrequited love. He's got a thing for her, but she does not feel the same way. They may have been past lovers. She's moved on but, for him, her memory is ever-present.
-
Here's what I think. The singer has a girlfriend who works in London for a newspaper. He is driving in a cab through London traffic, trying to pick her up after work to go to an event. ("If you were in my shoes, you'd be running a few red lights, mate.") But her paper ran a story that had errors in it, and it's her job to stay and re-write it. ("All the papers lied today...news is falling on you.") So the guy is in a race to pick her up, and her bosses say, "no you can't go" and they get in the way. He's frustrated, love is so close, but so far ("Love? You can't give it away"). But the girlfriend has a beautiful soul, the ghost in her,
and although this particular night might be a bust, over time she will stand by him and their love will survive. -
Guy could be talking to his lady. They were expecting a child, but she miscarried.
"Inside you the time moves, and she don't fade" = You carried our future in your womb. Although our little one is gone, her spirit (ghost) still lies in you, and will live on. -
This song is about someone he loves who died or is dying, in my opinion.
