    General Comment:The website isn't called lyrics meanings is it?

    This song makes me think of waking up in a cold stone chamber, eyes adjusting to the lack of light and the white stone walls, trying to raise yourself from the ground but it's too cold..... suddenly a blurred yellow light appears far down the corridor, endorpins rush to you and you realise it's moving toward you.... it's someone in a hood carrying a candle, they seem confused of why youre there and they turn away, pulling down a curtain and the dark resumes.....

    Actually scratch that I think it's about puppies.

    Memory:This song was excellent live! Saw it twice. The video they had on the screen was of some rolling kansas fields on a dead wasteland, all of the ghosts material was great and very touching when performed. And for those of you fucks that think it's not as good because it has no vocals you outta shoot yourselves, because trent is the ONLY musician of his statute that has it all and had enough balls to release a 2-disc instrumental album when he is known for his catchy lyrics and I will forever respect him for that because deep down he is a composer of music..

    General Comment:The song makes me think of an atomic bombing. Whenever I hear that droning sound that kicks in, I think of a siren. Like all hope is lost, and we're all going to be dust in a minute.

    I love the piano so much. It's a great track to put on when I'm trying to sleep.

    General Comment:I'm actually glad someone put up the songs on Ghosts on here.

    this one, though, doesn't really inspire much thought to me. it sounds, in terms of excitement, like the opening credits to a relatively sedate movie.

    My Opinion:It's good music to fall asleep to I must say, and doing school work to.
    And there are some really good ones in amongst them all that stand out a lot.
    But overall the lack of vocals kinda bothered me, I'm so used to it in NIN's work. D:

    General Comment:Yeah it is kinda dumb. What did you guys think of ghosts though? A little too ambient for me. This song is like atmospheric music, it's slow and calming but nin's style. I like the humming in the background.

    General Comment:y'know, after Ghosts came out and I went to this site, I said, "wow, I'm surprised no one added all the ghosts songs, that's great!"

    OH SHI-
