Cover art for Doom & Gloom lyrics by Dance Gavin Dance

This seems like one of the more coherent songs DGD has put out on any of their albums. It's pretty clear that it's about someone who is set in their ways, emotionally, but they're still haunted by the past failures they've had in relationships. It's a voluntary torture they're doing to themselves, though, since they are in isolation and "prepping for the ghost" (mistakes) that will haunt them as long as they are this way. Absolutely amazing.
