Worum geht es in dem Song?

In dem Songtext "Friendly Ghost" von Eels geht es um die Angst vor dem Tod und die Bedeutung, das Leben in vollen Zügen ...

If you're scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
I've been spending all my days
Giving all I can give.

Last night I heard someone walking
Through my bedroom door.
What they want I'm not exactly sure.

Chorus:
A friendly ghost,
Is all I need. (x2)

Working time on a broken watch,
Countin' days till the the old shop sells me back my saxophone
And everyone's gonna leave me alone.

Two times I thought I heard someone
Knocking on the glass.
I hit my head and prayed that it would last.

Chorus

If you're scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
I've been carrying round a grudge,
I think I better forgive

Last night I heard footsteps walking
On the attic floor.
Got up and I opened up the door.

Chorus

If you're scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
I've been spending all my days
Giving all I can give.
