obviously it's a song about a dead friend whose ghost (apparition) returns to tell his friend that he's still present on this world and alive in some way. He gives him some advice, and tells him he'll get answers to some of life's greatest mysteries and then he'll return to 'fill him in' 1

I can so relate to this song. That bit about counting your true friends on one hand--it's absolutly true.
