The Longshot - Chasing A Ghost

[@v-g-z3689]

This song is about feeling lonely in sobriety, it was written in early 2018 when Billie was on the verge of relapsing into his old habit of drinking. "There’s a song I did on the Longshot record called “Chasing a Ghost,” which talks about being lonely in sobriety. “Dilemma” is sort of connected to that. They’re the most honest lyrics I’ve ever written in my life. " -Billie Joe Armstrong, January 2024

Lyrcs: Piss stains and cigarettes This party's getting dull I'm looking for a bump And a wall to call my home I'm feeling like a moron Bitter and withdrawn Standing in the shadows Where all the good times gone I got the tears, oh baby Crying in my soul Hang from the chandelier From a long long time ago Chasing a Ghost Chasing a Ghost Everyone is happy and everyone is Gay Feeling the spirits and twisting the night away But when the thrill is gone and I'm staring at my phone Thanks for the company, but I'm still standing alone I got the tears, oh baby Crying in my soul Hang from the chandelier From a long long time ago Chasing a Ghost Chasing a Ghost Well it ain't the same Ain't it a shame? Here's to the painkillers, oh yeah On Saturday night So if you see her, tell her that I said hello I miss the times we spent and now I gotta go She was my last hoorah and always got me stoned Thanks for the sympathy and the punch in the nose Chasing a Ghost Chasing a Ghost (Woo!) Chasing a Ghost (Alright!) Chasing a Ghost

Devil's Kind: "Beer stains and cigarettes" "I'm looking for a drink and a couch to call my home" Chasing the Ghost: "Piss stains and cigarettes" "I'm looking for a bump and a wall to call my home" Repeated lyrics. I just noticed that.

Very dynamic and raw sound EP! It bounces. Perfect for spring and summer! I'm really digging this

[@sonicjet7759]

Green Day and Billie Joe Armstrong are really prolific song writers , they cant write a bad song :) This punk rock band has been writing music since the 1990s

[@ogcodvideos6546]

@@sonicjet7759 try 80s

[@veronicasubliminals5704]

Chorus is just... So beautiful.

[@NovacaineRebelxx]

The lyric “hanging from a chandelier from a long long time ago” I believe is actually a reference to that time when Billie was actually hanging from a chandelier back in the day lol

[@Luthfil1958MJ]

Patriot_Fighter Then it broke. and then he branded someone. sigh. good times.

[@ogcodvideos6546]

It was when Green Day was touring with Blink I believe maybe around the warning era not too sure

[@corbenmatthews9890]

Patriot_Fighter hmmm yeah good point. Perhaps the "ghost" represents his good ol' days when he was young and a lot more "out there"?

[@NovacaineRebelxx]

Corben Matthews Yeah good observation, I think you may be right about that.

[@corbenmatthews9890]

Patriot_Fighter yeah maybe. Anyway who gives a shit let's just enjoy this masterpiece of a song
