Hall, Trevor - Ghosts Lyrics






I remember back, back in the day
When the sunshine smiled as the children played, I say
I remember when it was so pure
Hearing melodies through the bedroom door
Making beats in the basement
Tasting all the magic harmonies and flows that we were chasing
Turning fantasies into realities
Oh we were lost in dreams
We had all the keys
And now it seems we can't pick the lock
Kind of like a flat line, I need a shock
What's behind the door
Are we too scared to knock
Did you pull the trigger
Did you hear the gunshot
Will we ever ever rise above
Will we ever follow through in this path called love
Oh Mama please take me back to my youth
Where I never ever had any holes in my parachute

Why do they make this pill so hard for us to swallow
Treating us as if we are ghosts, as if we're only hollow
Oh yea but we sing today and we'll sing through out tomorrow
Because our fire it burns, it burns up all your sorrow

Flip the tape deck, microphone check
Turn up the volume, how loud can we get
Show the man that we're not going under
Never gonna sleep, never fall into a slumber
No matter what the poison is you feed
Any sickness oh we got a remedy
Don't you know we are the roots that hold this tree
Feeding the branches and all of its leaves
Love and truth shall always prevail
Raise them high and we will set sail
No ocean to wide, No mountain to high
Our feet on the ground and our heads in the sky
Oh yea we are soldiers of the pure
Have you had enough
Do you want more
Read another chapter of this folklore
You never sang a song like this before

    Tasting all the magic harmonies and flows that we were chasing
    Turning fantasies into realities
    Oh we were lost in dreams

    And now it seems we can't pick the lock
    Kind of like a flat line, I need a shock

    Trevor has been my saving grace since day one. any time my mood goes south or the dark voices inside my head start to scream at me, I put on his music and his voice banishes them away with me:} it sets the tone of the mood for the day for my boys and I. I notice that if I don't play his music at least once a day we are all cranky and at odds with each other. but the minute his sings come on, its complete harmony in my house and amongst my boys. its magical and im so grateful that his energy has a positive effect on us all. Namaste!

    A.... Y....

    +Adam Young Ya know.. I have come to feel the same way about Trevor.. much like Nahko and Xavier Rudd their music is not just back ground filler but Real Medicine that I too have come to be a regular recipient of when life becomes a downer .. thanks for sharing. Peace

  13. H.... B....

    But rare is such a soul, who swims in ecstatic bliss. On the high tide of heavenly love. 💚

  14. r.... ....

     Trevor is part of what I call "The Vibe Tribe" along w/Soja, Xavier Rudd and Nahko & MFTP because they all sing the same songs of liberation from the constructs of the cultural engineers.. They all sing of Love at a higher vibration than most of us have experienced in our lifetime.. they are truly medicine men/Musical Shamans for our souls.. Wake from whatever is keeping you under their spells by allowing these guys to feed your hungry Hearts what they need.. Love... Namaste

    r.... ....

    Think you have a poignant insight here! T

    r.... ....

    @randywatchingbush Musical Shamans YESSS!! Trevor got me out of some really dark times.. healed what even the therapists couldnt, sings about things not from here from Above... beautiful music, beautiful souls what can I say <3

    r.... ....

    @Prigat9876 U said it all sis.. Love is the Way we should all be seeking.. Peace <3

  31. o.... ....

    I want to hug Trevor hall. Just a good, man hug. I would cry, and I thank him for being born with the gift to translate the puzzle and struggle into the most soul gripping sounds, music, art, creativity, poetry. Trevor is more than just a good person, he was sent here just like some people are; to do something for the world, to balance the world back to Love, and Peace. Trevor is good people. You don't have to romanticize him, you don't have to imagine him as some great being; He's the real deal

  32. S.... ....

    I believe he's saying hollow, my friend, as in empty.

  33. y.... b....

    God bless you.

  34. J.... B....

    "Will we ever ever rise above, will we ever follow through on this path called love." I got in a big fight with my girlfriend, she was throwing a party but almost nobody was gonna show up so she cancelled. I felt bad but in her sadness she was being extremely rude to me, hanging up the phone, calling me an asshole, telling me not to come. I wanted to cheer her up but even when i'm sad I apologize about things like that. I was in the right. But that verse. I gave up being right for what was right

  35. J.... B....
