“Ghosts” talks about the mysteries of a presence that one may not see, such as déjà vu, hearing voices, and ghosts, and although we cannot see these things physically, we acknowledge them possibly being around us and accept that “unknown” mystery.
The song has a more uplifting tune compared to the...
[Verse 1]
She said
This is not about a poltergeist
Not about a phantom that glows at night
But there are things we don’t know and I
Don't have another choice but an open mind, oh
And I know what they'll say
I'll try to make sense of what no one can explain
But I’ve been having dreams that after I'm awake
Play out in reality the very next day
[Pre-Chorus]
So I play along
I nod my head when they say I'm wrong
But each night falls and away I run
On the other side 'til the daylight comes
So I play along
I nod my head when they say I'm wrong
But each night falls and away I run
On the other side 'til the daylight comes
[Chorus 1]
And when the lights go down
I see things I can't explain
Calling out my name
The lights go down
Holding every memory close
Tonight is for our ghosts
Ghosts, ghosts
Tonight is for our ghosts
[Verse 2]
This is not about you and me
I can't bring back how it used to be
And I know what I do believe
But I've already seen what I couldn’t see, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
So I play along
I nod my head when they say I'm wrong
But each night falls and away I run
On the other side 'til the daylight comes
[Chorus 1]
And when the lights go down
I see things I can't explain
Calling out my name
The lights go down
Holding every memory close
Tonight is for our ghosts
[Chorus 2]
And when the lights go down
Is there something in the air?
There, but never there
The lights go down
Holding every memory close
Tonight is for our ghosts
Ghosts, ghosts
Tonight is for our ghosts
Ghosts, ghosts
Tonight is for our ghosts

On June 1st, Mike Shinoda’s social media was “hacked” by a sock named Boris.
Using Facebook Messenger, Boris would continue to update the audience with teasers and previews of the music video until its release on June 7, 2018.
He would then explain on a tweet that
I made a sock puppet video...
“Ghosts” is a metaphor for the unknown–things we can’t see or touch, things that are a mystery. As I say in the first line, this is not about a literal “poltergeist.”
