"ghost in your arms," i died in your arms tonite

"I will be kind and I'll be sweet If you stop staring straight through me". wow. That hit me hard.

it's so depressing but also calming and chill like?? omg edit: i made this comment when i was 14 edit 2: "you're 21 now!" grats on basic math

You don't need treats, You don't need tricks *because Trix are for kids*

i love that they say, "i'll leave them folded neat and tidy/so that you'll know i'm out of hiding". like, even though they're not hiding anymore, the person still won't notice them. it's so sad and so beautiful.

For those that don't know- Ghosting: the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication. Usually involves one worrying about the other who ghosted, thinking they did something wrong.

My ex introduced me to this band. This was the first song she showed me. She ghosted me... Ironic, isn't it?

why aren't they on the radio?? like this band is way better than the stuff on the radio!! like, they would fit right in on 104.5

My favorite part is probably 0:00 - 4:46

Song makes me think of how someone suffering from depression might feel about the effect they have on their loved one.

Me and my best friend listened this, sitting at 11 PM on a bench in front of her house, waiting for my dad to pick me up. In that moment I felt a strong and special connection to her, so many feelings coming up all at once. I wanted to stay like that forever, just the two of us waiting forever while this song plays. Shame on ads for ruining the moment.

*Puts in headphones* *Song actually starts* *Instant eargasm*

the guitar at the beggining thought is just ugh t o o g o o d

The harmonies on this melt my soul

Recently my uncle lost the battle to covid. He died alone, while his family turned their backs to him, they weren´t to blame since my uncle did hurt my aunt and my cousins more than once...still he asked for forgiveness. But it was like the boy who cried wolf, they didn´t believe him anymore. They were hurt, and when the news came my aunt broke down. After all, he was a important person to her. Sometimes I wonder if his ghost is still asking for forgiveness.

all of my friends have been ignoring me since quarantine started. my girlfriend couldn't talk to me for three months because of her toxic parents. my online friends that barely know me care more about me than my irl friends do. I've been crying to this song for a few days...

I've heard ghosting as a term for breaking up or burning bridges by not responding to any communication and just hoping they get the hint. If I ran into someone who did that to me , I would stare right through them.

Lyrics I've been ghosting, I've been ghosting along Ghost in your house, ghost in your arms When you're tossing, when you turn in your sleep It's because I'm ghosting your dreams And this is why I have decided To pull these old white sheets from my head I'll leave them folded neat and tidy So that you'll know I'm out of hiding I've been ghosting, I've been ghosting along Ghost in the world, ghost with no home I remember, I remember the days When I'd make you oh-so afraid And this is why I have decided To leave your house and home un-haunted You don't need poltergeists for sidekicks You don't need treats And you don't need tricks You don't need treats You don't need tricks You don't need no Halloween You don't need treats You don't need tricks And you don't need me Me Hey, would it be so bad if I stayed I'm just a ghost out of his grave And I can't make love in my grave I won't put white into your hair I won't make noises in your stairs I will be kind and I'll be sweet If you stop staring straight through me And this is why I have decided To pull these old white sheets from my head I'll leave them folded neat and tidy So that you'll know I'm out of hiding And this is why I have decided To leave your house and home un-haunted You don't need poltergeists for sidekicks You don't need treats And you don't need tricks You don't need treats You don't need tricks You don't need no Halloween You don't need treats You don't need tricks You don't need treats You don't need no Hallows Eve You don't need treats You don't need tricks And you don't need me

This song has never hit harder. At this point I feel like a ghost to myself, I have the fear that everyone hates me and wants me gone. I feel like a burden to my friends, any little thing they say or do brings my paranoia of them hating me worse. My paranoia is horrible, unbearable at times. It makes it hard to sleep, live in general.

At 3:28 Ryan sounds like he's about to cry ;w;

You don't need treats, you don't need tricks, and you don't need me...

Mother mother speak to me in a depressive state but also gives me a sense of comfort. Feels like I'm not the only one going through bad times X

i need to stop being so fucking clingy what the shit

i have PTSD and this haunting feeling is the one i have for the house that the incident took place in. i can't even enter it or i'll get a panic attack. i have dreams of the person, and i haven't seen them in a year in a half, but it feels like they tormented me yesterday. the problem only seems to get bigger and darker as time passes. this song feel depressing to a lot of people but it feels me with hope. maybe the feeling of being haunted will finally stop someday, and i'll get better, and the ghost will leave. i look forward to it

I’ve always been really quiet and I’m not the best at responding to texts, which causes me to just blend into the background most of the time, even in my small girl scout troop. But the last time I went to a meeting, I was included, even by the girl who I thought didn’t like me. And tomorrow I’m hanging out with a few friends, which I’m pretty sure is the first time in a few years someone’s actually invited me to something. It feels weird, like an audience member being pulled on stage. Like I’m not supposed to be there if someone talks to me. I hope I get used to it and maybe I’ll be able to talk to my friends more!

I've been ghosting, I've been ghosting along Ghost in your house, ghost in your arms When you're tossing, when you turn in your sleep It's because I'm ghosting your dreams And this is why I have decided To pull these old white sheets from my head I'll leave them folded neat and tidy So that you'll know I'm out of hiding I've been ghosting, I've been ghosting along Ghost in the world, ghost with no home I remember, I remember the days When I'd make you oh-so afraid And this is why I have decided To leave your house and home un-haunted You don't need poltergeists for sidekicks You don't need treats And you don't need tricks You don't need treats You don't need tricks You don't need no Halloween You don't need treats You don't need tricks And you don't need me Me Hey, would it be so bad if I stayed I'm just a ghost out of his grave And I can't make love in my grave I won't put white into your hair I won't make noises in your stairs I will be kind and I'll be sweet If you stop staring straight through me And this is why I have decided To pull these old white sheets from my head I'll leave them folded neat and tidy So that you'll know I'm out of hiding And this is why I have decided To leave your house and home un-haunted You don't need poltergeists for sidekicks You don't need treats And you don't need tricks You don't need treats You don't need tricks You don't need no Halloween You don't need treats You don't need tricks You don't need treats You don't need no Hallows Eve You don't need treats You don't need tricks And you don't need me

I'm wrapped up in my blankets, hitting a new low, and my KZfaq mix is suddenly playing all the songs from my old playlists. Out of nowhere. Didn't ask it to. But all at once, breaking through the listless screentime I'm using to ignore the fact I haven't showered in days and have no future, there's this song. Tingling across my skin and taking me back five years so fast I feel vertigo. I've forgotten what it feels like to have my work pay off, and here's this song from the last time in my life that I remembered. What are you doing, KZfaq? How'd you know I felt like giving up?

The guitar is so amazing. I'm in love with this song.

The atmosphere of this song!

they need more fame

for everyone wondering what the term “ghosting” means, this is about as close as i got in my own words: so it’s basically when you disappear on social media, irl, etc from a person, or just in general to kinda tell them that whatever’s between you two (relationship, friendship, etc) is over or on hold, without having to actually tell them. it usually happens due to self doubt or fear that the person doesn’t like you and it’s often a whole “leave them before they can leave me” situation. Occasionally it’s also an escape when everything just gets too big and overwhelming for you to deal with that person and you don’t know how to tell them so you just disappear. as someone who’s faced both ends of the situation, sometimes it’s for the best. you never want to overwhelm someone and it obviously can have terrible psychological effects with some receivers and occasionally makes them more so to say “clingy” when it you get to become close with someone else. By all means ghosting someone is absolutely not the greatest way to deal with your issues but respect someone if it seems to be too much for them. this shits getting kinda rambley and i think i just self projected for half of that so that’s neat but yea, handle situations with common sense,, uuh yup

im a bird im a tree please stop staring straight through me i like chairs i like sweets i live in your stairs, sweetie i am strong hit the gong im addicted to this song

You don't need treats, you don't need shreks

dang everyone is from like 5yrs ago😕

Listening to mother mother makes me feel like I'm dying but living at the same time, it gives me an amazing sense of myself, it makes me feel invisible, it makes me cry, it makes me smile, it makes me feel a feeling I've never felt, a feeling I want to share, a feeling i can't express with words a wonderful, depressing, amazing feeling, its weird

First I kind of thought that this song was about myself, affecting personal relationship's with other people, but as I continue listening, I think this song is actually about the dark stuff that people carry with them and how it hangs around like ghosts. I hope that one day people can let their ghosts stop hanging around them too.

you dont need treats and you dont need trix

A music video no one has ever seen is playing through my head right now..... God if only this band would play for live Night Vale shows..... I think this song would be great for the weather...... :'''D

I looked their song "body" up for an animation meme and im so glad I did.

tee hee that feeling when you isolate yourself from everyone in your life

"I will be kind and ill be sweet. If you stop staring straight through me" Hit me so hard and its so relatable for me

Its official, im a mothermother fan

Everyone's saying this song is so depressing, but I've only ever found it wholesome?? Before really reading into the lyrics and thinking about the term ghosting in reference to the song, I always felt like it was a friend coming to terms with the end of their relationship.

Wait, this is so weird. Way before I started listening to this song, I texted my friends and told them how I don't feel close to them anymore. I feel like I'm used so when they fight one of them say "you saw what she did, right?" or "are you on my side?" It stresses me out and once I found out that this was how my friendship was towards them, I stopped talking to them. About a week later, I found this song and I'm addicted. The lyrics hit me strongly and it's indescribable. I'm so glad I discovered Mother Mother.

Most comments: 2-7 years ago me: *"Well at least I'm here now-"*

One of my all-time favorite songs. Flawless!

I love this song so much. I suffer from severe depression, and felt like a ghost for much of my life. I struggle seeing my body in a positive light, and I have never had the confidence or the will to speak in front of people. I always feel like my friends don't like me, and I'm a clingy ghost following them around. I haven't really talked to them in years, just followed while being trapped in my own dark thoughts and worries. I never had the will or courage to keep a good relationship, but, this song gives me hope. Currently I am trying to be more positive about my body, go to therapy, deal with the constant depressing thoughts, and make a connection with the people I want to trust. This song is so calming and I love it!

I can't believe that this song is ten years old, and I only discovered it a few weeks ago. I was missing out. Like, actually. This is amazing.

Nobody's gonna read this anyway, but I kinda wanna immortalize my story with mother mother here anyways. This song was shown to me by a friend almost 5 years ago. He said this song was his favorite. I quite liked it also, and not long after I ended up quite liking him also. We just sorta fell in love. While he was already aware of his sexuality and stuff, I hadn't considered that I might be gay until then. We didn't date for a long time, us both being to insecure and immature to be in a relationship at that point, but on the day we had our first kiss, I put on this song and we layed on my bed listening to the entirety in silence. I had liked the song before, but that's when it's magic truly hit me and even after we had broken up, I continued to listen to it. Since I liked the song so much, I eventually figured, I should give some more songs of mother mother a listen. I played the entire o my

The “they don’t need u” hits hard cuz of how true it is They don’t need me

Story/Vent time My 7th grade year i was a ghost. A ghost of a girl walking down the halls her skin as pale as the moon her hair frizzy and messy. I was the ghost of the school. My friends were liars and fakes, I was casted out. I was not a happy person, I was borderline suicidal, it wasn't till the end of the year i was happy. When 8th grade came around i got the color back in my skin, due to no longer starving myself and actually sleeping at night. I was happy again, I was not the ghost I was the happy girl singing and playing the kazoo down the hallway. Now, I've lost a lot of those friends i've dipped back into a unstable state of either over joy or deep emptiness. I guess i am the ghost of the halls.

This whole album is honestly amazing. However, this is my favorite song on it, no doubt. Worth a listen.

Imagine this. You're sitting in your room as your parents are screaming in the kitchen about who knows. You decide to leave, so you run. You run through the kitchen and out the back door and into the woods behind your house. Everything feels as if it's in slow motion. You're running as fast as you can with no destination in front of you. The cold air is nipping at your fingers, your nose, your hair blowing behind you is the cold autumn wind. As you get deeper in the wooded area, tree branches start hitting your face, and bare arms, leaving cuts and abrasions. But you'd not care. You're just so tired of everything. You finally get to the end of the woods and you come to a cliff that has a large body of water at the bottom. You turn around because you hear your parents behind you, screaming for you to stop and asking you what you're doing. You turn back to cliff briefly before facing your family. And falling backwards off the cliff. Everything again feels as if it's in slow motion. You fall slowly into the ice cold water as everything goes dark. As you make contact with the bottom if the water, you jolt awake. It must have been a dream.

To me this is a song about moving on from a relationship whether that be romantic or otherwise The singer is sticking around in a dead relationship like a ghost and he's realized that they are better off without its more that they don't need eachother to be happy and realizing it

Brought me to tears

It's sad to relate to the song specially when you're the "ghost"

Ghosting: The act of ending an personal or amorous relationship or any other means of social connection without explanation and radio silence. In No Straight Roads: Zuke got ghosted by his lover. But this doesn't mean she didn't love him. All throughout her concert hall you can see pieces of images of heartbreak. She obviously regretted what she did but didn't respond about it to zuke. Only when Zuke sees the pieces does he get her ghosting him: It was an out of the blue response. She couldn't recover from the awkwardness, so she expressed it in art pieces.

My personal interpretation of this song: I have always been a lonely person who has loved the people around me from the bottom of my heart. I remember those days when I laughed and played with those people, and that's why, when those people don't need me, I'll go. Sometimes I feel that I can be more kind and sweet for that person to be happy with me, but you just have to accept that sometimes they don't need you, that they will grow up. But there will be our ghosts, one in the other, and we will remember each other Pd: I'm going to be at the concert in Madrid in December and I'm very excited, I hope this song plays, it's my favorite song //Edit// The show was amazing, thanks for everything

*_"You don't need tricks, and you don't need...me..."_* Ouch

I love this. This deserves so many more views and likes!

A beautiful thing about this song is that it has so many meaning to different people and everyone can interpret it in a unique way.

I love the on-edge sick feeling that the strings at the start give me

An ex girlfriend told me about this song and it makes me miss her so much

This kind of music reminds me of Over the Garden Wall. I know it's 2017 and all, but it's an unforgettable show

I interviewed them years ago, really lovely people behind some really lovely music.

btw im this song if u even care

I just had a fight with my best friend in Discord and he wrote "OK, see you next year" I'm listening to this song and I don't know what to do😭😭

This song makes me want to tell the writer/other people who relate that they are not haunting anyone and then give them a hug, I know the feeling in this song really well and I just want things to get better for anyone that might feels that way. I support you all and believe in you all.

I dedicate this song to the person that i used to idolize, never noticed me and affected my mental health for the worst. Glad i moved on from you and found someone that actually loves me.

I imagine this as a scene of like a hero and villain. and maybe the hero has a child, and the child feels alone and ignored because the hero is off doing hero things. and I imagine this song as their final goodbye to their parent as they leave, and later join the villain's side. it's beautiful and I love this song

I had a bestfriend when I was younger ( when i was 14yo ). We were so close, I considered her my sister. We had known each other for years and I cherished her so much. Probably because of a toxic ex that I had and who did something wrong to her, she left and never talked to me again. It’s been since middle 2018 I haven’t heard of her. I don’t blame her for leaving, but it changed me so much and I can’t help but think that friends will always leave no matter what. So I used to ghost people although nothing bad happened. But I’m working on that part and I think I’m getting better. I hope at least. This song really makes me think about her, especially the last sentence « And you don’t need me ».

This song is so sad. It makes me feel sad feelings that aren't even related to the song's lyrics.. like, I'm looking at my dad on my lockscreen and feeling that tense feeling you get before tears well. Thank you TAZ Amnesty animator for introducing me to this song

Welp, this one's for you, buddy. Things won't be the same as they were. Good luck with your new family.

Oh, the start, how silly it sounds, yet i cry to that part the most.

This song kind if reminds me of the movie Coraline.

HELLO nonbinary and gnc people hope you're having a good day :)

Ghosting itself is the act of purposefully ignoring a friend or partner because you feel like they don't like you or vice versa. The song talks about someone ghosting, but still being around them. It shows how much they still care about the person, though they ghosted them. 'I'll leave them folded neat and tidy to show I'm out of hiding' is referencing how they told them they still cared, but then 'You don't need tricks, you don't need treats' is saying how they've done everything to get them back, but they can't. And when it talks about, 'if you stop staring straight through me' is when they're literally to the point of begging them to get them back. But they discover that the person they ghosted didn't need them anyway, and their relationship was nothing to them anyway. It talks about them leaving, which references them regretting everything and hesitantly trying to move on.

This song is 10 years old, still a banger.

Last night the lyrics got stuck in my head, especially after reading the lyrics and the people's takes about the song in reddit. Honestly it can mean anything but for me this is how it goes: The song is obviously the ghost narrating their loved one like in 3rd person view, what they do everyday, what happens to their loved one everyday. The ghost watches their loved one go through all of that, they reminisce about their past, they explain what are they planning to do, explaining that they don't need them and they should move on. They still hesitate to leave, because if you think about it...they can't they want to stay they want to stay beside their loved one But they know its impossible, they can't even see them So they finally decide to leave, saying once again that they don't need them because they can and should move on from them. The ghost finally faded away, resting in peace , knowing that their loved one will hopefully can live their life.

this song makes me cry so hard, my friend got in a car accident which led to his death while I was listening this song and put it as my instagram note. I used to love him and was the only man I've ever liked. I never told him that I liked him, its one of my regrets today. So go tell the ones that you move that you do love them, you never know what could happen tommorow. Everything just go down so fast. This song really makes me think of him now. Please dont be a shy coward like me, if I told him that I liked him it could've been different and he couldve lived and drive slower. I wish you all the best ❤

This song to me is about drug addiction and not needing to be dependent on anyone. The speaker of the song is a 'ghost' but also decides to stop being a ghost "I pulled the old white sheets from my head". However, it's not enough for their SO, and they part ways. The SO "Don't need tricks, don't need treats" leaves and the speaker is left alone, but now sober. Halloween is a time when everyone wears masks and IMO is a metaphor for a drug addict who is 'high'. Very sad but powerful. My favourite song right now.

I'm obsessed with mother mother, but I was 5 when all these came out, but just the end of last year became obsessed with it, I'm turning 12 in 5 weeks, bro it's been 7 years! XD

Damn this is so good why didn't I find this song earlier

I STILL REMEMBER SOME LYRICS FROM MOTHER MOTHER AND THIS SONG IS ONE OF THEM. IT'S SAYS A LOT. THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH ME THROUGH A LOT OF YEARS...

this song makes me cry so hard every time

0:53 this part reminds me of the poem 14 lines from love letters or suicide notes. it makes me sad every time

“You don’t need treats, you don’t need tricks!” True very true

3:30 why do i love her voice so much? its actually so cute i can't

feels like im still being haunted by him. i still have nightmares. i jump everytime i see his name or i hear it. i want it to stop

The more literal idea of a ghost coming to an understanding with someone and leaving their sheet folded neatly to show them that they won't hurt them anymore is gorgeous to me

I've been ghosted I've been ghosted ALONG

"You dont need poltergeists for sidekicks" hit me really fucking hard just now, I was randomly thinking about my little brother who died at a couple days old before i got to meet him (i was like 7) but i only Just recently started realizing how much fucked up shit happened when i was little honestly i think i might have blocked out his memory from my mind in part cause all the other shit cause tbh i forgot he existed till about a month or 2 ago so its almost like going though the griving process 6 years late. What always ends up fucking me over though is me thinking about what life would be like if he lived, & i keep immagining this little 6 year old hugging me soooo yaaaa might have accidentally ruined a really good calming song for me lol (im still gonna probobly listen to it, it'll just be different)

But I like Trix

True eargasm

This song has impacted me so much I’ve always liked it but after my best friend decided to tell me we aren’t friends anymore it means so much more. She will always be my best friend in my heart and it’s been hard. I came back and listened to this and now it has a whole new meaning for me. I just want everything to get better.

I don't know why but I feel a connection with this song. It makes me feel relief

I feel like this song is from the perspective of a person feeling unappreciated by a partner who never considers them, is always selfish and forgets that their partner is a person. Sometimes that distant feeling between you and the person you live with is very real and so unexplainable, and I think this character has had enough and decides to leave.

basta me siento tan bien con esta música loco🖤❇️❇️❇️
