“Well, me and my ghosts, we had a hell of a time”
Taylor's ghosts are companions in escape — she doesn't flee them, she brings them to Florida. The image humanises her haunting: the ghosts are familiar, almost friendly, fellow travellers in dissociation. The casual tone domesticates the gothic.

“Yes, I'm haunted, but I'm feeling just fine”
Companion row to M020 (Ghosts, Florida!!!). The same song holds both motifs: ghosts as companions and haunting as personal state. Haunted but I'm feeling just fine is the defiant inversion — haunting is reframed as survival rather than affliction.
