“Kill The Ghost” and “Real Estate: by little image – Song Features

 

     As a strong follow-up to “Kill The Ghost,” the first 2026 release from little image is a darker “Real Estate.” The band is based in Dallas, Texas, and if formed of Jackson Simmons (vocals/guitar), Brandon Walters (bass/synth), and Troy Bruner (drums). Their sound is big and aggressive, which isn’t easy for a trio.
 
     “Kill The Ghost” has proven to be a gig favorite. The energy of the song electrifies a venue. It’s an introspective presentation of life. The band explains:
“KILL THE GHOST” is an anthem that captures the never-ending struggle of the human spirit and its battle against itself. Often, the greatest obstacle to becoming who we’re meant to be is our own resistance. This song serves as an invitation to let go of what holds us back and to step into something greater than ourselves.”
 
     The lyrics of “Real Estate” are similarly inward looking (the lyrics of both songs are included in this post). The “real estate” refers to the mind and what has taken residence with the mind.

Lyrics of “Kill The Ghost” by little image
Shapeshifter
Giving up a part of me
That no one needs to know
Mind drifter
In and out of dreams of what
I've lost and what I hold
 
I'm always looking back
Running out of slack
Reaching for the rope
So what's it gonna take?
To find a way to cut the cord and let it go
 
We can float away
Or kill the ghost
That haunts the part of me
That needs control
At 30,000 feet
I can finally see
That I'm never gonna change
If I'm always in the way
Never gonna change if I don't
Cut the cord and let it go
Let it go
 
Cold shiver
Treading in the water
When I need a hand to hold
Light giver
Dancing with the shadow that
You painted on the wall
 
Flicker in the night
Maybe I'm alright
Reaching for the rope
So what's it gonna take
To find a way to cut the cord and let it go
 
We can float away
Or kill the ghost
That haunts the part of me
That needs control
At 30,000 feet
I can finally see
That I'm never gonna change
If I'm always in the way
Never gonna change if I don't
Cut the cord and let it go
Let it go
Cut the cord and let it go
 
Never gonna change if I'm always in the way
[Repeating]
 
Always in the way never gonna change
{Repeating]
 
We can float away
Or kill the ghost
That haunts the part of me
That needs control
At 30,000 feet
I can finally see
That I'm never gonna change
If I'm always in the way
Never gonna change if I don't
Cut the cord and let it go
Let it go
Cut the cord and let it go
 
 
Lyric of “Real Estate” by little image
Is this a game?
Pull me out the frame
Nothing's quite the same
I'm thinking 'bout how I could start again, again, again, again
 
I get at it all day ('Cause I'm a runaway)
I'm feeling like a dog stray (I'm on the interstate)
'Cause I tried to tell you
Don't lose it all to give yourself a name
 
What do I say?
When the sun falls, it fades
So I walk the long way
Giving myself a break
Look at this place
It's taken up my real estate
See through all the pain
Does it glow for a change?
Does it glow for a change?
 
Isn't it strange?
Thoughts inside a cage
And you try to rearrange
I'm thinking I'll stay inside again, again, again, again
 
I could at it all day ('Cause I'm a runaway)
I'm feeling like a dog stray (I’m on the interstate)
'Cause I tried to tell you
You'll lose it all to give yourself a name
 
What do I say?
When the sun falls, it fades
So I walk the long way
Giving myself a break
Look at this place
It's taken up my real estate
See through all the pain
Does it glow for a change?
 
(See through all the pain)
Does it glow for a change?
