'Poltergeist'

Hanging Around As An Unhappy Ghost

Once you die... we have these kinds of fantasies about what happens to us after we die. Or dumber still, what we would do with supernatural powers after our demise. It's the kind of train of thought that leaves the platform without a train driver or even logical tracks upon which to drive such trains. Such thoughts are the basis of many a religion and mental unwell-ness.

That said, you can understand the fantasy. You die; but your will transcends the demise of the corporeal, in the most Nietzsche-an way; and you exact vengeance by flinging stuff around the room.
Yeah. That'd be really intense... not.

All the same I wrote song about being a poltergeist who leaves home one day and drifts off wandering like on a cloud, aimless and without the object of one's revenge. I also obtained an Electro-Harmonix Mel-9 pedal which allowed me to trigger a bunch of Mellotron sounds using my guitar, so there are touches of that wonderful device in this one.
