This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I stand around at American weddings
I stand around for family
At my best when I'm terrorist inside
At my best when it's all me
I was there when they took all the people
I was alone in a mental ravine
You breathe life when you break the walls down
You breathe life when you set me free
Where is my head?
Where are my bones?
Why are my days so far from home?
Where is my head?
Where are my bones?
Can you save me from myself?
Can you save me from myself?
Free-thinking renegade social
Mister Moon Man now
Out of the slipstream of my possibilities
Got the boat so we don't drown
These are the days that I'm split down the middle
No words to calm me down
Be sure that what you dream of
Won't come to hunt you down
Where is my head?
Where are my bones?
Why are my days so far from home?
Ghostman
Where is my head?
Where are my bones?
How come we get so lost?
Ghostman

I think it's about feeling distant and away from home, whether it be a physical plane such as a place or mentally. You feel lost where you're not and it's starting to really bug and get to you. The ghost is the memory of what home and your comfort zone was and you're asking it to help you feel that way again.
