It seems that the name for Ghostlights is not not just a title. Multiple songs reference ghostlights throughout the album implying some further meaning.

Ghostlights are often used in theatres as a light in the back of the stage for people to move around in the dark when it would otherwise be pitch black. There is also a superstition about Ghostlights that they are in theatres so that the "theatre ghost" can perform when the living are away. This has resulted in Ghostlights perpetually being on.

Due to albums main theme seeming to be about the writer finding a way out of a dark time in their life, could the Ghostlights represent those points or people that give the writer hope to escape this dark place?
