A Ghost In The Daylight


Artist: Digital-Shadows
Key Signature: E minor
Time Signature: 4/4
Artist's Description
This song is a quiet-to-epic portrait of invisibility, and the slow decision to push back against it.
At its core, it’s about feeling unseen in social spaces and in life: moving through rooms, conversations, and relationships like a presence no one quite registers. The “ghost in the daylight” image captures that perfectly—this isn’t isolation in the dark, it’s loneliness in plain sight, surrounded by people, noise, colour, and momentum that the narrator can’t quite step into. Written in E Minor at 86 BPM

VERSE A

I walk through the crowd like a rumour of rain,
No footprints, no echoes, just a face without a name.
Their laughter spills across me like I’m not even there,
Just a flicker in a doorway, a shadow in the glare.

VERSE B

She turns to her friends and the whole room blooms,
But I’m stuck in the quiet with my unlit moons.
Practising small talk in a whisper to the wall,
But the words fall flat, nobody hears them fall.

PRE-CHORUS

And I tell myself it’s nothing,
But the truth keeps breaking through—
The world keeps painting colours
I can’t break into.

CHORUS

I’m a ghost in the daylight,
A face the world looks through.
Just a passenger of heartbeats—
Never someone they turn to.
I’m a ghost in the daylight,
Trying hard just to exist…
But the moment I reach out,
My hand slips through the mist.

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE C

Some nights I’m rehearsing being brave in the dark,
Redrawing the outlines, trying to recover the spark.
But the mirror stares back with a tired, glassy eye—
Asking, “How long will you watch your own life go by?”

VERSE D

There’s a version of me somewhere,
Who speaks before he shakes,
Who doesn’t break to pieces
When a single silence aches.
But he lingers in the distance,
Always one breath out of time…
A silhouette of confidence
That never quite is mine.

SECTION E

Maybe I’m ordinary—
Maybe that’s my quiet crime.
Just a heartbeat out of rhythm
With the rest of humankind.
But I’m still here, still learning
What it means to be seen…
Even shadows dream of sunlight
Beyond the in-between.

CHORUS

I’m a ghost in the daylight,
But I’m calling out tonight—
If the world won’t turn to face me,
I’ll learn to build my own light.
I’m a ghost in the daylight,
But I’m fighting to be real…
And maybe someone, someday,
Will recognise what I feel.

REPRISE

I’m a ghost in the daylight…
Still searching for a sign.

OUTRO / SOFT ENDING

But even ghosts can change their story
Even if it's mine.
