Discover the story of the song > Chasing Ghosts – Against The Current

In these lyrics, the singer is talking about a past relationship that didn't work out. She says that they used to be happy (light), but now everything is dark and they are just passing by each other like two shipwrecks in the night. She remembers how they first met and how she was mean to him, but she thought his messy ways were sweet. However, that night still haunts her dreams. She realizes that she was chasing after love, but they were just a ghost and she needs someone real to hold. She mentions a moment when he left and how she let him fool her twice, but the memories of that night still haunt her. Overall, it's a sad song about realizing that someone she thought was her love was just a ghost and she needs someone genuine.
