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
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.
Lazy bones : I’m to tired to be bored, I’m to bored to be tired. Little boy named train : serious people are funny to me, funny people seem so serious 99 Revolutions : its not 1 to 99, its 99 to 1
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This party's getting dull I'm looking for a bump And a wall to call my home I'm feeling like a moron Bitter and withdrawn Standing in the shadows Where all the good times gone I got the tears, oh baby Crying in my soul Hang from the chandelier From a long long time ago Chasing a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
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
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
This song makes me so happy. Thank you for this. I will never forget you playing an extended version of this song at the Vancouver concert on June 13th, 2018. Best night ever!!
I loved Foxboro Hot Tubs, The Network, and Pinhead Gunpowder. Shame that The Longshot might continue the trend of only having one studio album like the previous side projects :-/ I'm liking these songs so far btw ^_^
St. Jimmy Thats strange. I have the songs on mine. Does this link work for you? open.spotify.com/album/0hNMdr3QreWVnP1mc8e4sG?si=ktU5HVsoRYK-oYAPvzFa3g
Thanks for the new tunes dad 👍🏻
Willow Taylor best comment I've ever fucking read

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?

@@sonicjet7759 try 80s
Suprisingly this side band is great
Chorus is just... So beautiful.
Shook me all night looong !
Puke stains and cigarettes, the party is in my pocket.
I'm looking for a drink, and a couch to call my own...
Anyone?
Same
yeah this gives off the same vibes, thought i even heard some of those lyrics in this song :P
Exactly what I was thinking
me too man, i wish they would make a new album so they can tour the u.s again tho, not that i don't love this stuff.
i thought the same thing
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
Patriot_Fighter Then it broke. and then he branded someone. sigh. good times.
It was when Green Day was touring with Blink I believe maybe around the warning era not too sure
Patriot_Fighter hmmm yeah good point. Perhaps the "ghost" represents his good ol' days when he was young and a lot more "out there"?
Corben Matthews Yeah good observation, I think you may be right about that.
Patriot_Fighter yeah maybe. Anyway who gives a shit let's just enjoy this masterpiece of a song
How not to love these beautiful people? if they do magic with music
a song better than the other..positive vibres here in Italy... THANK U!!!
Yes Chasing A Ghost sounds awesome keep the good work coming BILLIE!!!!!!
2:11 sounds like all the small things intro. Just a bit
This song makes me so happy. Thank you for this. I will never forget you playing an extended version of this song at the Vancouver concert on June 13th, 2018. Best night ever!!
Everyone is gay.
