Cover art for Ghosting lyrics by Freelance Whales

I always assumed this was a song about drug addiction. The lyrics to me suggest a codependent relationship between two people possibly smoking meth. Their house is falling apart, they're reassuring each other that they're "doing okay," but their health is deteriorating and they're not going anywhere. The reason they're so sick is that they spend too much time with their group of user friends, 'ghosting' hits of whatever their drug of choice is.
