For a long time only a short teaser could be heard, now it is Song officially released: “Ghosts Again” is the first single from the new album “Memento Mori” by Depeche Mode. And so fans now have the opportunity to analyze the lyrics very carefully. It is striking that what was already announced with the album title plays a major role in “Ghosts Again”: The confrontation with life and death.
Pre-order: Depeche Mode exclusive 7-inch single: “Ghosts Again”, only in MUSIKEXPRESS 4/23
Wasted feelings, what once mattered no longer matters, time flies and you have to see what the future holds – nobody can escape the course of life and when death enters our lives, things that are considered important suddenly become small and unassuming. Dave Gahan and Martin Gore dedicated a song to these feelings with “Ghosts Again”. Of course, the death of Andy Fletcher addressed with the moving lines.
Depeche Mode: Lyrics to “Ghosts Again”
Wasted feelings
Broken meanings
Time is fleeting
See what it brings
Hello, goodbyes, a thousand midnights
Lost in sleepless lullabies
Heaven’s dreaming
Thoughtless thoughts, my friends
We know we’ll be ghosts again
Sundays shining
Silver linings
Weightless hours
All my flowers
A place to hide the tears that ye cried
Everybody says goodbye
Faith is sleeping
Lovers in the end
Whisper we’ll be ghosts again
Heaven’s dreaming
Thoughtless thoughts, my friends
We know we’ll be ghosts again
Faith is sleeping
Lovers in the end
Whisper we’ll be ghosts again
