I forget to mention how the lines,
"If you're scared to die
you better not be scared to live"
are similar in meaning/sentiment to these found in 'P.S You Rock My World' : - "a careful man tries
To dodge the bullets
While a happy man takes a walk"
The protagonist in 'Friendly Ghost' is scared of the unknown (the ghost) at the start of the song, as he fears for his physical safety (reflecting his fear of death), whilst also seeking to protect his emotional self from becoming vulnerable (reflecting his fear of life).
However, by the end of the song, he chooses to embrace the consequences, whatever they may be, and thus, gives up both his elemnts of his fear simultaneously.
