Tricking them there ghosts!!

Soooo listening to Saint Motel n the song "Bullets" is so Ghost Trick coded I cannot sit still

(SUPER DUPER SPOILERS BELOW)

The whole song made me think so much about our favorite dancing desk lamp and I'm going to ramble about it and no one can stop me mwahahaha

Standing in the shadows/Hero of the story -> Ray (aka Missile) waits patiently for ten WHOLE YEARS just to wait for Sissel to come along aka die so he can 'guide' Sissel in the right direction that will save everyone.

It's a sure shot, it's yours to lose -> When Lynne is manipulated into shooting Sissel n Yomiel...later when Missile swaps the bullets to save Cabanela and, more importantly, Yomiel back in time.

It's the kind of love that rains down/once upon a lifetime -> Ray waited so, so long to save his 'little ladies' Lynne and Kamila. Ten whole years. That's long enough for a human but for a dog? That'd be the rough equivalent of +50 DOG YEARS. That's an overwhelming majority of his lifespan, yet he waited, all because he loved his owners.

Can you see the goal line?/Everything is lined up/Waiting for your moment -> Again Ray waiting in the junkyard for Sissel after Yomiel manipulates Lynne into shooting, which in itself is akin to a stage (to make conclusive evidence n get Lynne in jail). And the moment Sissel goes down, Ray takes his cue and jumps into action.

You don't stop a bullet that you set into motion -> Ray. Missile. Swap bullets. Several times. Along with giant statues that squish little girls to death. Even when it's in motion, Missile/Ray can and WILL stop a bullet in motion.

So then, why would we fight it...counting down, down, down -> Ray doesn't have the powers to save Lynne or Kamila. He can swap items and rewind time, but it's not enough. Yet he doesn't give up. He chooses to fight it, by waiting it out to guide Sissel--who DOES have the power to save them--in the right direction that will save everyone. Also counting down, the countdown until death, until dawn, along with waiting for again TEN HECKIN YEARS to avert a tragic fate.

Once you made your mind up/ You're never going back -> Ray is loyal as a dog (for obvious reasons) and refuses to give up. He can't undo their fate, and after those ten years, his spirit is weak, he's running out of time. But he never turned his back on his beloved owners. His mind was made up the moment he reached out to Kamila's lifeless body.

I really, REALLY would like to make an AMV of some sort, maybe more of a bunch of still images lol. I don't have the manpower to draw that right now, but gosh darn would I love to storyboard this alghesigshligehil

BTW "It's All Happening" also by Saint Motel from the same album is post-game if I ever heard it
