Drive Thru Society
"Ghosts"

Produced by Travis Wyrick

Meaning Behind The Song:

Ghosts is the story about my best friends attempted suicide. She had struggled with depression for years and after many fights with her parents and friends couldn’t take it any longer. She swallowed as many pills as she could with the intention of never waking up again. To her surprise, she did wake up and found herself in a hospital room with nurses and family coming and going. As she sat there, she said the only thing she could think of was, the only reason I’m alive is because God has saved me. She told me that she knew in that moment that God loved her of else He would have just let her die because she hadn’t wanted anything to do with Him for years and was so far away from any community. The love that God has for her was on full display in that moment and although she still struggles with depressive thoughts, she knows that she was saved for a reason. Her testimony has been a catalyst for people everywhere to not give up and to keep fighting regardless of their circumstances. Every part of this song was either part of a conversation we had, or lyrics written directly by my friend and I didn’t want to leave anything out because so many people can relate to the message of the song. Although it covers a very dark subject, we didn’t want to leave listeners without the hope that my friend’s story has. That is why musically we wrote the ending in major (happy sounding haha) and with the hope that God’s grace brings. The hope that there is a light, there is a way out and that God is bigger than the haunting thoughts of any ‘ghost’.

Their new EP titled Soteria (also produced by Travis Wyrick) was released November 13th, 2016 and made sure to keep the promises to deliver heavier rifts, deeper lyrics and passionate vocals.

Lyrics:

Ghosts

I had plans to die today
I trusted this bottle to take it all away
and leave me cold
I had plans to die today
to fall asleep with nothing left to say
cause no one cares anyway
and as I’m staring at my reflexion now
it’s screaming words at me
that I’m not worthy
so I took my life, took it in my hands
I decided I’m not worth a chance

why am I so dark inside?
these thoughts I cannot hide
I’ll let go of my life
lay down my guard tonight
I destroy everything I touch
It’ll be so easy to give up
these ghosts wrap me in their lies
nothing left to satisfy

I had plans to die today
but woke up to nurses all around
dressed in a gown
I had plans to die today
but someone else had a different frame
on my distorted view of reality
and as I laid there in my selfish state
sat between the walls of my fate
I felt a hope creep in instead
and truth re-wrote the words in my head

wide eyed disbelief takes me back
the world only sees a selfish act
but I swear I wanted to fight
I didn’t want to give up tonight

I’m running blindly from death
but I see a light up ahead
I know that You hear me
I know You’re listening

cause truth has rescued me
and I’ll see daylight again
I wanna understand
that all You have for me, is all I’ll ever need
cause I’m alive
