To me it's a very reflective song. It instantly quiets all the noise in my brain and stills my thoughts and slows my heart rate and I enter this sort of "zoning out" state of mind where I can feel at home inside myself. Very meditative, it's like a 3 minute epiphany. And Ghosts is definitely among my favorite NIN albums period. I don't always feel like sitting down and listening to Ghosts like I do The Downward Spiral or something, but when I do I am never disappointed. And that has more to do with the pace of life being to fast. Ghosts is something you experience with headphones laying on your back in bed or drifting aimlessly in a boat looking up at the sky on a warm day on a quiet lake. It requires time and the proper environment to truly experience it. It is really good background noise as well while your busy with other tasks homework/falling asleep as previously stated too, but I like to focus on the music and let it take me where it wants to go. The flow to the album(s) is incredible.
