This song is about a secret society of some sort. They are throughout regular society and have some kind of an agenda. Whether it's political or security related, I'm not sure. It may be another focal reason all together. One thing is for sure though: they are very interested in business plans and ideas.

That entity would be the "we" in this song.

I reckon The Ghost to be a name for God, but I may be wrong. However, God certainly is an important entity to this story, as it was when it actually happened.

What we look like naked is an idea that many people never really consider, however this group found out quickly, that each of them is not the only one who has a private life they'd rather not have broadcast, when one who they kept an eye on refused to behave they way they'd been accustomed to in public. You see, this man, a very real man, was under very sharp scrutiny and surveillance. And even to some degree knowing of that surveillance, by that group. He still has no idea, for certain, of why.

Anyway, the man figured the group to be government related. "The Ghost" may actually be The President of the United States. And in thinking this much, he decided, foolishly, to trust that the result of his 'investigation' would end soon. But it still has not. So, trusting that the U.S. govt was ultimately virtuous, the man passed along some plans and ideas he'd and about some innovations and inventions that might benefit humanity at large. While all this went on, and continues to go on, that man continued to be stalked. to the point that he has been chased into mental hospitals, out of his home, and homeless and on and on the horror goes for that man, with no end or relief to look forward to but some kind of government cover up or his own assassination,possible. And this is all very very plausible. Not a matter of sheer delusion, although mental health corruption has told him as much to keep the cover up going.

anywhooooo

the immovable object would be the man in question's reluctance to join that organization. you see, he'd been offered that possibility several times, but refused based on principle of not wanting to be a member of an exclusive organization that causes very subtle but very real damage to security in the normally understood society of the USA and other affected nations.

the galaxy merger: possibly a reference to a kind of potential postulated by the man in question that may allow travel to the far reaches of the universe. quite real in it's possibilty.

The reference to God as being a dad: this man, is humbled by the implications of that line, as he is a true believer. However, he supposes that the line is in reference to his repeated recollection of being without his own children and as such both not interested in a legacy for the sake of his own bloodline, nor interested in becoming a member of what he perceives as a group that is potentially quite damaging to society. In fact, he knows that they are, as this problem has shown many a flawed result over the past four years..... blah blah blah "I don't have kids," he says, to illustrate that he has no personal interest other than as an humanitarian...

The irresistible force... money, i figure. Maybe not. But I'm relatively certain.

Oh, all the bangin and bangin and bangin.. the surveillance catches this man, a person of bisexual history, with some relative frequency, having sex, sometimes with groups or in successions. The man, to many people's opinion, is quite the whore, as it were. He doesn't let that bother him though, the opinion of so many, he knows that he is not the only one. In fact, He knows that some of them, in that group, are just like him, in their .... private lives. He knows, because he KNOWS some of them.

Some may call me a lucky shot... but it was not: see, the ideas this guy lays out are kind of technical at times. the kind of stuff that you'd have to have some kind of background in science to come up with. and even some kind of background in business at times..... BIG ideas. The kind of ideas that, if you knew this man in person, you'd be like, " that jackass came up with that?'"

Well, back to the God concept. The man figures that he knows he's not exactly perfect, but he's very honest. Honest to a fault, in fact.. He does this as a method he'd learned in Alcoholic Anonymous and figures it's how he keeps his spiritual connection open with God. And he credits God with all the big ideas that will work. . Honesty is also a very important trait in science. he learned that from his father.

So, who is this man?

The story, I figure, is about Me. Christopher R. Hecker. I'm Honored Mr. Ferrel. I've been a fan of Jane's Addiction since the early 90's, as you know. I do hope the plans and ideas work out for the benefit of the people who I've been passing them along on the half of. The pale and down-trodden, as it were.

God is real, man. Thanks Jane's Addiction Members ... Dave, Stephen, Duff, Perry... Thanks

@vGAME11 It's about sex.
