"Ghosts Again" lyrics

"Ghosts Again"

Wasted feelings
Broken meanings
Time is fleeting
See what it brings

Hellos, goodbyes, a thousand midnights
Lost in sleepless lullabies

Heaven's dreaming
Thoughtless thoughts, my friends
We know we'll be ghosts again

Sunday's shining
Silver linings
Weightless hours
All my flowers

A place to hide the tears that you 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

"Ghosts Again" is the lead single from Depeche Mode's album "Memento Mori", their first album since the death of founding member Andy Fletcher who did not record any material for the album despite the fact that work started before his passing. Frontman Dave Gahan explained in an interview with NME, "He never got to hear any of it, which is really sad to me because there are songs on this record where I know he'd be like, 'This is the best thing we've had in years.' I can hear his voice. I can also hear him saying, 'Does every song have to be about death?!'"
The song and its black-and-white music video (directed by Anton Corbijn) were published on the 9th of February, 2023. Frontman Dave Gahan told "Clash Magazine" about it, "'Ghosts Again' just captures this perfect balance of melancholy and joy."
