I know a lot of people are trying to say schizophrenia, paranoia, or some crap about relationships, but as someone with anxiety, i can tell that this is what this song is tackling. The lines "Especially at night I worry over situations I know will be alright Perhaps it's just imagination" is what puts this in my head, as this is largely what having anxiety is like. It might be similar to other mental illnesses, but i'm sure anxiety is the main subject. As for the "ghosts appear and fade away" i'm sure it is meant to be taken in a metaphorical sense. With anxiety problems really do haunt you like ghosts.
@underlyricks70 I suffer from anxiety too and got oddly connected, almost dragged into this song, and I had never paid attention to Men at Work. Never before a song seemed to translate my anxiety so well!
