no more time. falling. rising. empty. i feel pretty. and entangled in my basket of unfulfilled dreams. one day. very soon. will it end? could i die? yes, of course you fucking idiots. stop analyzing this shit like you know what the fuck you're talking about.
Some place in time they crossed paths, making the time they shared something to have, if only they saw what was to come, if only they knew what was to be done,
the sun falls over the horizon of the sea, never to rise for them, it was never meant to be, and so seperate paths lead their ways until the day arrives, when it is another lifetime and another new day.
This... this song turns me insane.. I feel like a schizophrenic person. Like nothing is safe. I don't know.. I feel extremely crazy right now.. my eyes can't stop, my mind can't stop, nothing can stop.. Worst thing is... this song can't stop. It's too good. it's too much. I can't stop. It's creeping into my brain and just goes on. forever.
vile substance; vile lies; scares ever eyes; away from the sun; never be any you; never be any me; erase the stain; erase the place; die for freedom; everything gone numb; a part from the hurt; burning in rain; nothing can be the same; vile substance; never made me a friend ; love is a lie; never spoke a word of truth; always came for something; left with nothing; vile substance dissolved all we try; covered with bones; lost in books
@SCRSggIE it actually states that there are infinite histories, that every possible history that could have led to the current state of things has happened but our observation of these events limits the probabilities of this alternate histories and results in things happening the way we understand them. so us observing things changes the outcome of things and if we observe something happening this can change the past of that thing. this really just applies on a subatomic level though
Walking through a city of people their faces blurred.. no one notices you. like you dont even exist and you see someone who actually notices you! your heart pumps you start to chase them getting closer and closer and you finally reach them they turn around and boom every being disappears leaving you alone forever
Okay, so I loved the downward spiral, and my Teacher last year on the last day of school told me to check out ghosts when I was really really stressed. I really like ghosts, too! I love the slow songs by this band, like something I can never have and Hurt.
I like this song, but seriously, if you try to interpret it, you end up with something that makes you look you are stoned out of your fucking mind. Just look at the top two comments.
@45Imagamer Yeah, especially since there are no lyrics. Don't get me wrong, I love Ghosts I-IV because of the lack of lyrics, so you can just bask in the beauty of the song, but trying to interpret it is like trying to interpret a sixth or seventh sense. It's like trying to describe color to a person who's been blind their entire life. One can only simply feel, and let the emotions pass through them. The Fragile, on the other hand, can be interpreted due to the obvious suicidal connotations.
like life, for there will be a beginning and their will be an end, we have ulimate control over the middle. Beatuy in everything, and everything in its beauty.
hey what's the copyright law on this? can i make a derivative of it and if i do, will i own copyright of my derivative (remix or whatever i do with it) or will they?
@jenniferbritney You have permission to remix the tracks from ghosts but you will need to cite the your version as a remix. This is what you would do with the track name for your remix: NIN Ghosts IV-34 (Remix name if you want it) followed by (your name) So if I wanted to remix this track it would look something like: NIN Ghosts IV-34 Smashing the system remix by Quantik.
wow. yes, i agree there's an autumn feel to it. the leaves falling, possibly reminds us about things at its natural state. Not just nature itself, but humans too. Stop the insecurity, stop worrying about your occupation, stop putting pounds of makeup to hide your face in an attempt to impress other people. just let shit evolve.
I like all of NIN's instrumentals, this being one of my favorites. But Trent Reznor's voice is really annoying to me so whne he sings I think it ruins it hahah
Autumn. Falling leaves. Sun still shining through the the trees in beams. Used to have pain attached to the memories that no longer exist outside myself. now only beauty stands to be. Potential yet reached. We will make it.
The chord progression in this song is so similar to 'The Frail' - it's like he took that part of thge song and expanded on it. Which I love! This sequence is so creeping and ominous...
A brilliant move by Reznor. All of the feelings from previous albums are found here in ghosts, but there's a slightly subdued, reflective tone that casts a shadow further into your mind than any NIN album has ever been.
@SexyBuilder1888 I'm glad you listened ,but bear in my mind the simplistic melodies, and the off tune notes are all symbolic about the beauty of imperfection. True it's not technically impressive or catchy by any means. In a world where females are judged solely by their appearance and a man's worth is based on his possessions. This song reminds me that true beauty is in my flaws, and it's ok to be skinny and have nobby knees and to be a plumber and divorced. To me this instrumental says alot.
I Fell Asleep To This At My Friends House Well We All Did One Had A Dream About Her Being lost In A Desert,I Had One That I Was Dying,And The Other Was She Was Lost.And I Told Us All That We Should Go To Sleep To NIN Ghost Cuase It Makes You Dream Of Weird Things.
@RainbowwKitty Why are all the the words in this sentence capitalized? Is it a book title or something or are you just retarded? Im going with the latter. song is amazing though.
@RainbowwKitty : Wow, you (and all of your friends) are like the 50th person posting a story where they fell asleep to this album. I can't imagine how anybody could be put to sleep by 'Ghost'. Oh yeah...it's fucking boring.
@rmed30 Why are you watching the video then? "It's fucking boring." I'm sorry that you feel such anguish in connection to the album but do you really need to vent it by posting comments on the videos?
@QuantikMusic : Yes. I thought the comments section was an open exchange where people post their opinions, negative or otherwise. Apparently I was wrong and it's only for butthole licking fanboys to gather and jerk themselves off in an collective effort to convince themselves that subpar music is genius.
This is an instrumental piece. Unlike most modern popular music out there, this doesn't rely on lyrics to convey a message or meaning. Emotion and meaning are expressed with skillful and deliberate musicianship.
Feel the music. Personally, this song fills me with an the emotions that follow a part of life that is dominated by uneasiness and paranoia. It is hauntingly beautiful.
i love my precious girlfriend to death, but, she's a huge nin fan, that straight up doesnt like this album. (???????) she tends to only like music for its lyrics. typically relationship related, or "cute" lyrics. i'll never understand. instrumental work is the best. plus, when it comes down to it, the music was most likely invented first. then people most likely started humming along, then eventually singing. being SOMEWHAT of a musician, i think i'll stick to REAL music forever.
This album reminds me so much of Tomas Dvorak... Everything from his work as Floex to the Machinarium soundtrack. I guess what I'm saying is, I love both of them and this kind of music!
i think this entire album is meant for visualization and imagination use, and thats why i love it, it makes some people do what they never knew they could do, ghosts will be one of those that will haunt me in a compelling way, i love it
It starts off unemotional and empty like a man driving through the countryside in the middle of nowhere the beat slowly intensifies as he nears a bridge then the distorted mechanical beat starts he goes to the trunk takes out a body and throws it into the river from the bridge......there goes a music video right there lOl
and why the fuck is there a song on this album (using that term very loosely) that sounds, note for note, like the GOOSEBUMPS tv show theme song?? Is that supposed to be funny? That really made me want to puke.
@U238andaquarter : I didnt say this song sounds like it. I said a song from the album. Ghost IV 29 to be exact. The goosebumps theme song is actually better than track 29. The only difference one has "NIN" slapped on the cover so people think its something special. The reality is this album is full of half baked cutting room crap that wasn't good enough for the slip or year zero; both mediocre releases in their own regard.
I liked trent a lot better when he was doing hard drugs and making real songs like eraser, ringfinger, physical etc. I also dont care what kind of shitty mini movies people are watching in their minds when these songs come on
@rmed30 well trent doesn't give a shit whether or not you like his new stuff. you can stay behind with all that fucked up hardness trent used to be. cause he's over it, if you're not i guess you can just stay behind. btw - this is as real as eraser or ringfinger. just because it does not have lyrics or appeals to rock charts does not make it less of a song. are you less of a person because you have blonde not brunette hair? wtf. music is music dude.
@loyalqueen I beg to differ madam. music NOT music. In terms of substance, complexity, originality, delivery. PHM and Downward Spiral clearly blow the doors off of this piece of shit. I dont even see how that is subjective. What is so groundbreaking about ghost? If it didn't say "NIN" on the cover do you think that anybody would be raving? I think its cute that he won an oscar for writing insipid mini tunes for an even worse movie. Whoa!! Hans Zimmer better watch his ass!
@rmed30 This is why Trent Reznor has no problem with taking to new areas of music, because he doesn't give one fuck in the world about the poor miserable and ignorant fuck wits like yourself. I hope you get cancer.
@QuantikMusic : First off I hope you go blind and your balls explode you dickless faggot! That said, there is nothing new or orignal about his new stuff. It's just safe, geriatric, elevator music ambient shit. It's been done before and much better.Trent has no problem taking his music here because he knows that by bypassing the record compaines, he could pretty much put a turd in a cd case, put "NIN" on the cover and sell it at a discount to a braindead, zombie, twat stain like you.
@rmed30 Your first mistake is thinking i'm a NIN zombie. I listen to them on occasion proving that you are ignorant and the one who is 'braindead' since your so willing to assume things about me that are incorrect. But really i'm not going to be playing along with your little game anymore because you are quite obviously a troll, if not you are one of the most senseless and idiotic person i know. Go on answer me back i will delete it the moment i see it, i don't waste my time talking to morons.
@rmed30 If you're stuck in that angry hell-hole Trent was stuck in then, then you obviously are headed down the wrong path. I love the old stuff as well as the new stuff, and it makes me happy that Trent has matured (and isn't in his 20's), and now has tons of experience under his belt to make stuff like this. He sings in his songs so much (I know The Fragile had stuff like this too, but this is obviously different), it was about time we just heard the melodies in his head from a better place.
I get an image of a child whos running and the further he runs the closer he is to the answer that evaded him all his life and just as he reaches it he realises he doesnt know what hel do after he finds out and finally after reaching out for what seems and eternity he grasps the meaning of his existance....my vision always ends there:(
This track puts me in mind of a lone traveler making his way though a ruined wasteland and the horrors he beholds while wondering what evils could be left alive!
When I think about this song images of a war torn world come to mind, and how humanity failed to save anything including themselves. A world where only the things we created remain.
I love how much variance Trent Reznor puts into Nine Inch Nails. I'd just finished listening to Piggy from The Downward Spiral before putting this on... if I didn't know rightly I'd have thought they were by two different artists.
lol, i imagine ellis from left 4 dead 2 on an average day of his life on the first day of the infection. ellis and dave have fun doing whatever it is rednecks do, then they see the reality of the infection on the first day it spreads. who knows what happened to dave, but ellis ends up meeting with the other 3 survivors.
Sounds like a collaboration between Trent Reznor and Brian Eno.
My ultimate listening environment for this song would have to be in the ruins of the abandoned United Artists theater in Detroit. If you don't know about this place, Google some pictures of it, you'll see what I mean.
Not ready but this mission it’s your destiny- You’re not the only one who has this feeling- Everyone’s by your side, your not alone- Walking you finally confront it- It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen before- Eyes dilate, adrenaline sets in- Your ready-everyone’s ready- No control over your body- At this point you have power over anything- Suddenly everyone who was by your side is now gone- By your self you stand in horror- Its time…..time to take control.

@spacintrvl2 Are you serious? I thought the album was genius - and quite a refreshing change from most crap out there. I don't know of any other album that inspires visual imagery like this one. IMO.
@spacintrvl2 I feel sorry for your inability to comprehend the true meaning and depth of this work. "Cheesy fl studio type" Oh really. According to whom? The 496 people that liked this or the 31 people who don't know how to appreciate music? I'm pretty sure i know which category you fall into...
I fell asleep to first disc of this album one time and had strange dreams of an industrial world of machine people and no real humans. Like it just happened one day. No cyborg or robot knew what was going on they were just 150% oblivious. When I fell asleep to the second discs I had dreams of deserts, I woke up when this song started playing though. It was in the middle of the night. I love this song.
@MadPumpkinGames i always thought that nine inch nails only did rock stuff but this album is amazing. the ghost songs are the only stuff from them that i like
@ishouldplayzelda See, I can understand that. I listen to all genre' of music whether it be metal, classical, opera, or even rap. I respect all music and love it for what it is. I always felt like NIN has something for everyone though.
@MadPumpkinGames I had a dream of a caterpillar eating a dewdrop off a leaf blade. And then the caterpillar stared at me with its large round eyes and grew bigger.
The whole album, is a masterpiece. This is my favorite, when I hear it a vision comes to mind. A group of adventurers barely escaping off a planet as it's being destroyed. Then the planet is no more, while the adventurers are in space looking upon the destruction.
@6Dia6blo6XI I don't feel this at all? It's sort of calming a planet being destroyed isn't calming unless of course it involves the death of a main character. Just my opinion.
@6Dia6blo6X I see myself walking down a sunny road and as i go further empty fields make way to sinister trees and a thunderstorm passes over head. That's the beauty of it isn't it, the music lets you interpret it how you want to =D
@RaVe4EvR122 You are correct, the beauty is we are left to interpret how we wish. We just close our eyes, while we listen and let the sounds fill our mind with images dancing to its tune.
reminds me of the intro to x files.... somewhat... hehehehe duh duh duh duh duh... dun nuh nuh.... *mixes the original xfiles theme with this video* and... this music is really good... i find it epic when kicking ass online, soon to be zombie slaying on nazi zombies.. :D

The reality is this album is full of half baked cutting room crap that wasn't good enough for the slip or year zero; both mediocre releases in their own regard.

I liked trent a lot better when he was doing hard drugs and making real songs like eraser, ringfinger, physical etc. I also dont care what kind of shitty mini movies people are watching in their minds when these songs come on

@rmed30 well trent doesn't give a shit whether or not you like his new stuff. you can stay behind with all that fucked up hardness trent used to be. cause he's over it, if you're not i guess you can just stay behind. btw - this is as real as eraser or ringfinger. just because it does not have lyrics or appeals to rock charts does not make it less of a song. are you less of a person because you have blonde not brunette hair? wtf. music is music dude.

@loyalqueen I beg to differ madam. music NOT music. In terms of substance, complexity, originality, delivery. PHM and Downward Spiral clearly blow the doors off of this piece of shit. I dont even see how that is subjective. What is so groundbreaking about ghost? If it didn't say "NIN" on the cover do you think that anybody would be raving? I think its cute that he won an oscar for writing insipid mini tunes for an even worse movie. Whoa!! Hans Zimmer better watch his ass!

@rmed30 This is why Trent Reznor has no problem with taking to new areas of music, because he doesn't give one fuck in the world about the poor miserable and ignorant fuck wits like yourself. I hope you get cancer.

@QuantikMusic : First off I hope you go blind and your balls explode you dickless faggot! That said, there is nothing new or orignal about his new stuff. It's just safe, geriatric, elevator music ambient shit. It's been done before and much better.Trent has no problem taking his music here because he knows that by bypassing the record compaines, he could pretty much put a turd in a cd case, put "NIN" on the cover and sell it at a discount to a braindead, zombie, twat stain like you.
rmed30 10 months ago
@rmed30 Your first mistake is thinking i'm a NIN zombie. I listen to them on occasion proving that you are ignorant and the one who is 'braindead' since your so willing to assume things about me that are incorrect. But really i'm not going to be playing along with your little game anymore because you are quite obviously a troll, if not you are one of the most senseless and idiotic person i know. Go on answer me back i will delete it the moment i see it, i don't waste my time talking to morons.

@rmed30 If you're stuck in that angry hell-hole Trent was stuck in then, then you obviously are headed down the wrong path. I love the old stuff as well as the new stuff, and it makes me happy that Trent has matured (and isn't in his 20's), and now has tons of experience under his belt to make stuff like this. He sings in his songs so much (I know The Fragile had stuff like this too, but this is obviously different), it was about time we just heard the melodies in his head from a better place.

Sounds like a collaboration between Trent Reznor and Brian Eno.
My ultimate listening environment for this song would have to be in the ruins of the abandoned United Artists theater in Detroit. If you don't know about this place, Google some pictures of it, you'll see what I mean.

I fell asleep to first disc of this album one time and had strange dreams of an industrial world of machine people and no real humans. Like it just happened one day. No cyborg or robot knew what was going on they were just 150% oblivious. When I fell asleep to the second discs I had dreams of deserts, I woke up when this song started playing though. It was in the middle of the night. I love this song.

The whole album, is a masterpiece. This is my favorite, when I hear it a vision comes to mind. A group of adventurers barely escaping off a planet as it's being destroyed. Then the planet is no more, while the adventurers are in space looking upon the destruction.

@6Dia6blo6XI I don't feel this at all? It's sort of calming a planet being destroyed isn't calming unless of course it involves the death of a main character. Just my opinion.
