Yeah, HellionChild, you had some good things to say... And it seems like you get it. Thank you. This is just my little spin on what I always thought this song was about...
It sounds to me to be about being on the road... Touring from town to town setting up and playing shows to scene kids in small unheard of places.
"In a traffic jam with sweaty hands/
The kids we hype up just to drop/
These few pretty faces in ugly places/
The small towns where we would never stop/"
It then goes onto talk about the fake people exploiting the music... (A common theme with The Ghost)
"Shitty scenes and tired schemes/
All this art it makes me sick/"
and
"All this talk it makes me sick/"
It seems to me that The Ghost have become imbittered by being submersed in the whole scene and lumped in with people who are soulless (for lack of a more elaborate or accurate word.)
You see, the Ghost sees throught all the hype and exploited scenes, and they're not afraid to call it by writing about it... That's why I respect them.
The song seems to get a little personal with the lines:
"And I always wrote better than I spoke/
You couldn't even read my lips/"
And the part that really makes me think this song is about the road is:
"Home is where the heart is/
Mine is scattered by miles and time/
On this slow suicide with a pack of smokes and cheap bottle of wine/"
Their home is scattered all over the road for miles on tour and such...
That's just some feelings that I got off the song.
And it is just a great song... The Ghost truly is.. Genius.
