BROKEN BELLS

- The Ghost Inside Lyrics

She sold her love to a modern man
Cause solid currency's the hardest to love
All other modern hels you cover your eye
Don't let the lady finger blow in your hat
Di-da

For That dollar
She's like a star tonight
Without wanting
She gave up
The ghost inside

Just like a whiskey bottle drained on the floor
She got no future, just a love to endure
This gives some matter to shaking her hide
'Too late to leave him' are the songs in her car
Di-di-da

For That dollar
Without wanting
She gave up
The ghost inside
They call it chivalry
Never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder what it had to move on
This phony article
That put you on the floor
A double standard
Here we look when we walk

For That Dollar
She's like a star tonight
Without wanting
She gave up
The ghost inside

Was it all for show?
To turn into all of them
Turning a page
Trust me darlin'
I'm carving 'em up through the dust in your town
Crawling over rubble just to sound me out
Tend to wonder why?

What is the meaning behind The Ghost Inside lyrics?


When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, The Ghost Inside from Broken Bells is a critical analysis of love and talent being turned into a marketable product. It also absorbs the genuine human connection to the point where it is completely replaced by the financial gain and the creating of the soul-less, hollow human that finally comes to the metaphor of 'giving up the ghost inside', which symbolizes the giving up of the entire being and quality for material possessions. The ghost inside lyrics are mainly about reflecting, commenting on society, being angry, despairing, loving and losing. In addition to this, the song also mentions the commodification of love, the storyteller's sacrifices and losses, the prevailing hypocrisy and double standards, and finally, it brings up the subject of human survival through resilience. The song's lyrics explore adult topics, one of which is the mention of the transaction-like relationships and the idea of love being sold for money. Besides, the whiskey drinking and living a future-less life are pointed out by the lyrics as substance abuse and despair issues respectively. The language is not very straightforward but its very strong undertone might still make it not appropriate for children to listen to it without the supervision of an adult.
