“Misguided Ghosts” is a soft acoustic song where Hayley narrates how she’s still figuring out her place in the world. Hayley told The Sun the meaning behind the song:
Some people might think that I actually know what I’m doing but I’m just 20 years old and figuring myself out on a daily basis. The...
[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
I am going away for a while
But I'll be back, don't try and follow me
'Cause I'll return as soon as possible
See, I'm trying to find my place
But it might not be here where I feel safe
We all learn to make mistakes
[Pre-Chorus]
And run from them, from them
With no direction
We'll run from them, from them
With no conviction
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts

Don't need no roads
In fact, they follow me
And we just go in circles

[Pre-Chorus]
And run to them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh, you are not useless
We are just
[Chorus]
Misguided ghosts
Traveling endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
And there's no one road
We should not be the same
But I'm just a ghost
And still they echo me
They echo me in circles

Hayley Williams (from Alternative Press interview):
This is the redheaded stepchild of the record. No offense to any actual redheaded stepchildren – I was one. Taylor [York, rhythm guitar] wrote the music for this while we were on tour in England. It was after we’d ‘come back’ from the break. But I...
Williams said in an interview
I feel like this song explains so much of how I feel at the most random times. Finally a song that puts it all into words. Life is hard and I find it very dizzying to try and navigate. Every once in a while it’s just a bit much. Then I have to wonder who’s out there th...
