On the DBT website Hood says that someone asked Cooley what this song was about and his reply was "It's really hard for me to find a suit that fits me right." I have no idea how the song is about that but that's the only explanation I can find right now.
Whatever the meaning behind the song, I hope we can agree that this is one of the very best DBT songs...
Hood: Cooley closes his set with A Ghost to Most, which I am firmly convinced is the best song he's ever written. We worked it up in practice for The Dirt Underneath Tour and it quickly became one of the standout tunes of each show. The chorus reveals an image so basic and simple yet each listen reveals another layer of story implied within. I overheard Cooley being asked by a friend what it all meant and his response was how "It's really hard for me to find a suit that fits me right."
Both Hood and Cooley can't stand Bush, but that line is actually complementary, whether intended or not. I hate that both are so politically misguided, but love Cooley songs enough to get over it.

"politically misguided" makes it sound as if politics are objective and Cooley/Hood are clearly wrong. They're artists expressing opinions. Sorry they don't align with yours
