Resilience Amidst Chaos: The Story of 'Those Who Carried On'

Ghost and Pals' song 'Those Who Carried On' delves into the struggles and resilience of individuals who face internal and external turmoil. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of people trying to be understood in a world that often misinterprets or dismisses their efforts. The phrase 'devout apparitions' suggests that these individuals are haunted by their own thoughts and the judgments of others, leading to a sense of being overwhelmed and misunderstood. Despite these challenges, they persist, as indicated by the recurring theme of 'carrying on.'

The song explores the concept of self-destruction and reconstruction. The imagery of pulling apart their own ego and spilling their organs everywhere symbolizes a deep introspection and the painful process of self-examination. The 'polarized degrees' and the warning to 'beware' hint at the extreme emotional states these individuals experience. Yet, even in their crumbling state, they rebuild their world, albeit with 'reused and defective' perspectives. This cycle of destruction and rebirth underscores their resilience and determination to face challenges head-on.

The final verses reflect on the passage of time and the enduring nature of these individuals. Despite their problems and the repeated revisiting of past traumas, they remain a 'form of art,' signifying their unique and indomitable spirit. The rhetorical questions 'You’d say that things have improved, right?' suggest a lingering doubt about progress and improvement, highlighting the ongoing struggle and the complexity of their journey. Ultimately, 'Those Who Carried On' is a tribute to the strength and perseverance of those who continue to fight against the odds, refusing to be defeated by their circumstances.
