Hey guys, I know it's months and months away, but I posted lyrics for Addicted here early as well:

Ghost 1 plays out like this:

FLY
HEART BABY
FEATHER
KAWAII
GHOST
BLACKBERRY
MONSOON
DARK MATTERS
TEXADA
SEAMS
INFINITE OCEAN
AS YOU WERE


The rest of the songs became Ghost 2, which will come out a little later.

Ghost Lyrics!




FLY

I fly over the mountain to save my solar wake

I fly over the mountain to save my solar ways

I fly over the mountain and save my solar gain

I fly over the mountain to save my soul again

I fly...

I fly, Monday morning

I fly, Monday morning

I fly, Monday morning

I fly…

I fly, Monday morning

I fly, Monday morning

I fly, Monday morning

I fly...

HEART BABY

My heart…why?

So it goes around.

I know you're wiles, My heart baby…

I will fade away, my heart baby, how their hearts grow cold

Cold in the mind, I'm cold in the mind...

Gone now, gone in the morning, (then she smiles).

Say to my father you're feeling too wild, say to my father you're wild.

FEATHER

Hey little one, think about our time

When all the pain we've overcome

Hey little one, think about a time

When all the boys are older.

All I'll ever think about is you

And you'll be there when we are through.
And all are drinking from our hearts

Of all the love that comes apart

Is all for you or all for 'I'?

I want to wait until we die

You're here afraid yet still you try,

As life for me is life through 'I'

If all for three is all for five

Then we'll have peace until we die


Close your eyes and go to sleep

Close your eyes and go to sleep

Peace to you…

Peace to you…

Peace to you.

Hey little one, think about a time

When all the waves and oceans rise

Hey little one, think about a time

And all the way, you loaded all your dolls and toys into the car,

…and we are here while you are far

And all I ever think about is you,

It's only father feathers.

It's only feathers.

They say heaven was in tune, your point of view,

I try to see your point of view

The door opens into your eyes

And I have wondered when we die

He won't have due this falling ride

As I'll have to already child

So all for you and all for I

Lets just forgive and let this child...

So all for you and all for I

So lets forgive and let this lie...

Close your eyes and go to sleep

Close your eyes and go to sleep

Peace to you…

Peace to you…

Peace to you.

Peace to you

Peace to you

Peace to all

Peace to you

Peace to all

Peace to all

Generally we are a lonely people

Generally we are alone

Generally we are alone in lonely worlds

Generally we are a lonely people

Generally we are alone, alone…

Generally we are alone in lonely worlds

Generally we are a lonely people

...Generally we are alone

Generally we are alone.

Peace to you

KAWAII

Freedom, you and me

We lost our world…

she lost them.

Freedom, you and me…

Kawaii…

Kawaii...

Arrival, new arrival

Kawaii…

Kawaii.

Freedom, you and me

We lost our world…

she lost them.

Freedom, you and me…

Kawaii…

Arrive safe.

Arrival, new arrival

Kawaii…

Kawaii.

G H O S T

How, everybody?

How about a body at moonlight

How about a body at home

How about a body at moonlight,

How our body's alone

I don't want to bother your moonlight

I don't want to bother your soul

I don't want to bother your moonlight

How our body's alone

Say, Cold

Cold,

Cold.

How about a body at moonlight

How about a body at home

How about a body at moonlight,

How our body's alone

I don't want to bother your moonlight

I don't want to bother your soul

I don't want to bother your moonlight

How our body's alone

Say, Cold

Cold,

Ghost.

Tonight.

Bathe in the light…

It's alright.

Say, Cold

Ghost...

Ghost...

I'm out of body at moonlight

I'm out of body at home

I'm out of body at moonlight

How our body's alone

I don't want to bother your moonlight

I don't want to bother your soul

I don't want to bother your moonlight,

How our body's alone

Tonight, tonight.

Soothe your mind.

BLACKBERRY

The leaves are falling down

The trees are calming down

So do we love it now?

The thrills are calming down

And she is leaving town…

So do we love it now?

Find a way, we're falling all the time

Soon we will be home within our time

Soon we will be harmonized,

How in the world are we going to find the time?

I will always love you

…if you wouldn't mind I think I'll fall in line

I will always love you

…if you wouldn't mind I think I'll fall in too.

I'm over, I'm over, I'm overtired…

I'm over, I'm over, I'm overtired...

(You're so tired)

I'm over, I'm over, I'm overtired…

I'm over, I'm over, I'm overtired...

I will always love you

…if you wouldn't mind I think I'll fall in line

I will always love you

…if you wouldn't mind I think I'll fall in too

It's you, it's you, it's always been you…

It's you, it's you!

Young love, it's on the blackberry vine!

Young love, it's on the blackberry vine!

Young love, it's on the blackberry vine!

Young love, it's on the blackberry vine.

MONSOON
(Instrumental)

DARK MATTERS

'There's a certain amount of circumstantial evidence in support of a brane theory. Some of which points to the possibility that the universe may have begun with the interaction of several membranes. There's a lot of talk of Dark Matter in recent years, this actually appears as a gravitational force pulling matter together where no matter appears to be present, yet this mysterious material may make up more than 90% of our universe...'

TEXADA

Wild, embroiled, young hearts depend on me.

While in style in darkened limousines

Young hearts remain unseen.

While you write your hiel of light,

(Do you need some company?)

Why do we need someone, really need someone?

Lifeline

Why do we need someone, really need someone?

Lifeline

Cardinal, you royal!

Young Gods remain unclean.

Royal is royal in thy xeno-scene

…Young hearts will still be clean.

While you write you trials of life,

(Do you need some company?)

Why do we need someone, really need someone?

Lifeline

Why do we need someone, really need someone?

Lifeline

SEAMS

I love you, confuse you

-Maybe push you too far

Don't worry, unleash me

Thats song…that song

Come near me, relieve me

Protecting my heart

How crazy? …completely.

But that's all, thats all.

…that song

Calm down, I'm falling apart at the seams

(Hold your head up and go your own way…)

Calm down, I'm falling apart at the seams

INFINITE OCEAN

You must be god embodied, stand tall.

Stand tall.

AS YOU WERE

Tell me why?

We won't fight.

Are we wrong?

You worked hard for the wounds.

So! Were we owed an ira to be whole?

We were robbed of the right.

Come as you were

You're alright…Come as you were

Money, honey, bloody mary, money, honey

Might as well marry the Ghost.

Money, honey, bloody mary, money, honey

Bloody well marry the the girl...

Know, you weren't wrong,

But as the moments will evolve, know this:

We come as we were,

We were called.

Come as you were…

Money, honey, bloody mary, money, honey

Might as well marry the Ghost.

Wow, it's a lot to absorb. 'Feather,' 'Ghost,' 'Blackberry,' and 'As You Were" are my immediate lyrical favourites. Amazing stuff. I am really looking forward to this album.

I can't wait to hear 'feather'.

So excited!

Feather sounds (or reads) very touching...I get a Deep peace feeling.

"You must be god embodied, stand tall. Stand tall."

This got to me, cant wait for the album.

[Blazingmonga]

Beautiful words. Gave me a bit of a chill though...reminds me of sitting late at night reading the lyrics to Ocean Machine for the first time.

Dev, I don't know how you get so few words to carry so much.

(ok, thats a bit of a premature statement without hearing the music too, but I feel I can hear it already and I have a fair idea of the quality...!)

I more excited for these new albums than for christmas and new year combined!

Nice, looked a bit weird, simple and repetetive at a first glance( these adjectives may appear a bit more negative than I would wish hehe) . Fatherhood has obviously made it's mark on The Dev.

Hope I can see one or two new songs premiered at the Uk tour( will fly to Manchester).

I more excited for these new albums than for christmas and new year combined!

This.

I more excited for these new albums than for christmas and new year combined!

This.

Also this.

Reading these has made the wait 100x more unbearable.
I'm in love with this already.

All I want to do is hear Fly. I don't really care about anything else in the world right now.

Amazing, Can't wait to see how it holds together.

Judging by the lyrics I can safely say that Ghost, Seams and As You Were will probably become instant favourites. Infinite Ocean gave me the chills, in a good way obviously.

Yeah, that's definetly a lot to digest. I really hate it when people praise something that hasn't even hit the stores yet.. But damn. The wait just became unbearable.

Feather.

Young Gods remain unclean.

Young Gods reference? I know Dev loves them...

Find a way, we're falling all the time

Polyphony reference, perhaps?

Come as you were…

Nirvana reference, maybe. I remember they were the background music in one of his tour videos, so maybe he's a fan.

Either way this stuff sounds like its going to brilliant.
