Give Me The Ghost Back by Future Islands
Lyrics & Translation
English
I'm just an animal that strains against my line
I push and pull the cord, to make me feel alive
I had to fight to wrest the reins back on my life
Here come the stars again
Here come those scars again
How quickly we become the things that we despise
I talked her out of it, another lost the child
So many questions, stalking through me, day and night
Gimme the ghost back
Gimme the ghost back
What goes when I relinquish sin?
What's that beating in?
What goes when I face who I've been?
It's that old grief again
Terror is a long dark night
Half-awake with the ones who died
The ones who tried
To say 'goodbye' to that cold white light
Face to face but we have to try
To face the night
Two hundred million feel they're underneath a knife
A million others, can't forget what we can't hide
Saw one friend overdose, another took his life
Gimme the ghost back
Gimme my ghost back
Terror is a long sharp knife
Regret and fear have an appetite
Appetite
So say goodbye to that old white knight
No fairytale ending for the night
Just death and life
Say goodbye to that cold white light
Goodbye
Say goodbye to that cold white light
Goodbye, to the ones who tried to face the night
Here come the stars again
Here come the stars again

Give Me The Ghost Back (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Soy solo un animal que tira de su correa
Empujo y tiro de la cuerda, para sentirme vivo
Tuve que luchar para recuperar las riendas de mi vida
Aquí vienen las estrellas de nuevo
Aquí vienen esas cicatrices de nuevo
Qué rápido nos convertimos en lo que despreciamos
La convencí de no hacerlo, otra perdió al niño
Tantas preguntas, acechándome, día y noche
Devuélveme el fantasma
Devuélveme el fantasma
¿Qué se va cuando renuncio al pecado?
¿Qué es eso que late dentro?
¿Qué se va cuando me enfrento a quien he sido?
Es esa vieja pena de nuevo
El terror es una larga noche oscura
Medio despierto con los que murieron
Los que lo intentaron
Para decir 'adiós' a esa fría luz blanca
Cara a cara pero tenemos que intentar
Enfrentar la noche
Doscientos millones sienten que están bajo un cuchillo
Un millón más, no pueden olvidar lo que no podemos ocultar
Vi a un amigo sobredosis, otro se quitó la vida
Devuélveme el fantasma
Devuélveme mi fantasma
El terror es un cuchillo largo y afilado
El arrepentimiento y el miedo tienen apetito
Apetito
Así que di adiós a ese viejo caballero blanco
No hay final de cuento de hadas para la noche
Solo muerte y vida
Di adiós a esa fría luz blanca
Adiós
Di adiós a esa fría luz blanca
Adiós, a los que intentaron enfrentar la noche
Aquí vienen las estrellas de nuevo
Aquí vienen las estrellas de nuevo
