David Cook - Ghost Magnetic Lyrics






Losing light, and closer than I've ever been
To paralyzed and covered in your fingerprints
Pulses beating right in time
Motion for a silent night
Holding tight, closer than I've ever been

I can't escape
I'm living with the ghost magnetic
Yeah all that I can hear them say
Is I'm the whisper of a dead aesthetic
Yeah all I need to take me home
Is somebody that could save my soul
But I never seem to find my way
From living with the ghost magnetic

I'm baptized every time you say to me
To close my eyes; Your touch becomes my everything
Dancin' 'til we disappear
To voices in the chandeliers
Holding tight to the monster right in front of me

I can't escape
I'm living with the ghost magnetic
Yeah all that I can hear them say
Is I'm the whisper of a dead aesthetic
Yeah all I need to take me home
Is somebody that could save my soul
But I never seem to find my way
From living with the ghost magnetic

We bring our souls in close
For a toast to the afterlife
We hold our breath, no regret,
Dead set on the dead inside

I'm baptized every time you say to me

I can't escape
I'm living with the ghost magnetic
Yeah all that I can hear them say
Is I'm the whisper of a dead aesthetic
Yeah all I need to take me home
Is somebody that could save my soul
But I never seem to find my way
From living with the ghost magnetic

I can't escape

I can't escape

  26. k.... ....

    I don’t understand the song

    k.... ....

    ko0lGuy23 it is about struggles of aging and haven't found their place in society or found where they belong. They both are past glory days yet they don't want to let it go of the old days.

    k.... ....

    from DavidCookOfficial.com bio interview: "... Ghost Magnetic, is a darker, slower moving track, a plaintive tale about allowing ghosts of old relationships to infiltrate a new one"

  27. E.... ....

    Sounds like Vertical Horizon

  28. C.... N....

    Another great Cook track.

  29. D.... ....

    Thumbs up!

  30. J.... R....

  33. 0.... ....

    Once again I'm compelled to say how much I love this beautifully crafted song both lyrically and vocally!

  34. K.... M....

    This song is so beautiful and has been stuck in my mind so much that I have literally dreamed of listening to it!
    Oh well. *Hits replay again*😊

    K.... M....

    IKR. I especially get the chorus stuck in my head.That little growl before hitting the falsetto gets to me every time.

  35. C.... L....

    Well, at least one song on this new album that's not too drastic a departure from the music of his we've loved. Cutting edge is one thing, but some of the songs on the album are not just dramatic, they're TRAUmatic.

  36. S.... H....

    Someone do a piano tutorial

  37. A.... J....

    So talented cook!! A big hug from a Venezuelan in Perú!!

  42. S.... J....

    Great job Dave!

  43. c.... ....

    You have done it again Olivia - wow wow. Fantastic video to a beautiful song

  44. g.... ....

    You have a great voice, David, and that's why I'm a fan, but this song is absolute garbage.

    Beautiful song David!!! Hauntingly creepy setting but so perfect. 🙌👌✌😙😙😙 You always find a way top your last video. 😀 😍😍😍 much love David 💜💜💜💜💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

  46. J.... S....

    Fight me on this, but this song really fits with Taylor Swift.

  47. K.... C....

    Awesome video !! LOve the song too!

  48. P.... V....

    Love it!

  49. A.... S....

    Loveeeee the new song!!! Im such a huge fan!!!!!

  50. M.... ....

    Love it, that is all I have to say!!!!!! #Puertorico #1 fan here

  51. M.... L....

    Lyrics videos or no lyrics videos, I am in love with your new music, David Cook. Hauntingly beautiful song, melody & voice. Awesome job coming from an indie artist.

  52. c.... ....

    I like how this official lyric vid fits in with all the themes of the EP Chromance, not just the amazing imagery in this song. For example, the font colors and style refer back to the "neon" references in the first single from this EP, Gimme Heartbreak.
    Also, I *love* the way clips of live performance of Ghost Magnetic appear and disappear like ghosts in this vid - awesome touch. I think some live performance references always enhance a lyric vid a lot. There are few performers as interesting to watch as David Cook, so great to take advantage of that. This is a lyric vid EVERYONE will want to watch over and over. Well done!

  57. N.... ....

    The MOst haunting, AMAZING capture of David Cook's profoundly DARK imagination! Awesome job Olivia!!

  58. T.... N....

    Wow! Everything in the video ties in with the theme and lyrics seamlessly, from graphics to font choice to editing. Top-notch work by Olivia and Mr. C.

  59. S.... W....

    S.... W....

    Eerily cool! Love this song and video! And of course your amazing voice!

  60. T.... ....

    What a great video! Very nice job, Olivia!

  61. D.... M....

    Great song and the video. I love the haunting atmosphere and story line.

  62. I.... ....

    The cinema verite camera work ramps up the intensity in the music, revealing that sometimes, even when you know that ghosts from the past are infiltrating your relationships, you “can’t escape”. Final shot of all that remains is very effective, too. Great job fitting the story to this eldritch track!

  63. 2.... ....

    Love this song and this vid is perfect for it! Great job, Olivia!

  64. k.... ....

    Wow! Really captures the vibe of the song!

  65. 0.... ....

    This is more than a lyric video. It's a haunting story of memories you can't "Escape". Well done Olivia on the visuals and to David Cook on the song and vocals. My favourite song on the Chromance EP.
