"Ghosts" is the tenth song off of Mike Shinoda's debut solo album, Post Traumatic.

Background

Music Video

On June 1st, Mike posted to his Instagram under the pseudonym "Boris", a sock puppet Mike made, claiming he was hacked and to "slide into his DMs" on Facebook Messenger.[1] There, "Boris" stated he was making his own music video to be posted on Mike's account. He proceeded to send images and clips of the video and song to people. On June 8th, the song and video were released.

The music video starts with a clip of Mike saying "I had enough hard days. It's, like, if I wake and I feel good, I shouldn't feel guilty about having fun, you know?" The rest of the video consists of "Boris", "Miss Oatmeal", and various cutouts attached to sticks lip syncing and dancing to the song. Mike's wife Anna controlled the ghosts that appear in the video. At the end, one of the puppets from the video for "Barack Your World" makes a cameo.

Lyrics

Template:Collapse top

She said this is not about a poltergeist
Not about a phantom that glows at night
But there're 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'm tryna 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

So I play along
I nod my head when they say I'm wrong
But each night falls and the way 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 the way I run
On the other side 'til the daylight comes

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

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

So I play along
I nod my head when they say I'm wrong
But each night falls and the way I run
On the other side 'til the daylight comes

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

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
