Cover art for Oh, Hello Ghost lyrics by Rolo Tomassi

I agree that it's about falsehood and someone not being all they're perceived to be. But I don't think it's just about a celebrity. I, think it's also about people who seem stunning and smart, or maybe just incredibly wonderful people, and then you scratch a little beneath the surface, and you're taken out of the water, like a fish on a hook.

'I see the flicker and burn The breath inhaling the fumes'

The flicker and burn, like a fading illusion, the breath inhaling the fumes, like an induced, shallow hallucination. And also 'slick tongue persistence'. Consistently fooling everyone, even those who know know the truth.

(But that's just me, I'm probably completely wrong. :P )
