Probably the best track off Iron Maiden's Live at Rock in Rio album.
With an acoustic intro building up into a manic crescendo, this is another maritime epic in the same vein as 'The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner'. The Instrumental part summons up images of a ship struggling in the middle of a storm. During this particular part, Nicko's fast foot gives the impression of a double-bass drum. This spurred a polemic among the fans, some of them saying that it was the first time that he used double-kick mechanism.
The lyrics are a metaphor of life, with the ship sailing west towards the setting sun representing death. The "ghost of navigators" could be an allusion to all of those who go through life without really realizing it, being therefore "lost" and not in control of their navigation. This sentence could also refer to our forebears who have sailed the same 'seas' as us whose memory stil remains. In any case, "nothing's real until you feel" is probably an advice to experience life to the fullest, with its ups and downs, or run the risk to have wasted the short time between the cradle and the grave.

Ben: What are you doing?
John: Getting faced and listening to Ghost of the Navigator.
Ben: That's Iron Maiden's best song from the Rock in Rio album.
John: Yeah, I know.

When a busy high profile public figure such as, let's say, Barack Obama gets a Twitter account, it's pretty much granted that he doesn't have the time to actually 'tweet' - therefore the situation calls for a GHOST TWITTERER (similar to a ghost writer), a person in that person's staff, who does the tweeting for him (her).

In the act of Dating. One doesn't even get to the date! For example you exchange messages and texts . Then the person ceases to communicate with youhowever you have yet to even go on the date to even be classified as being "ghosted"
Hey what ever happened with that girl you were talking to on Facebook Did you guys ever meet up? You still talking to her and Did you hit that? "No despite my efforts. We never got to even meet and she already vanished . I didn't even make it to to the actual ghosting phase this time... I guess I got pre-ghosted"

You have your best friend in the closet, then you start to fuck your girlfriend, halfway through you switch with your friend then sneak outside and start waving at your girlfriend.

When you inadvertently reach for a beer that does not exist.
Usually seen when sitting in your favorite chair while watching your favorite sport or tv show.

"Did you see that, I totally reached for my ghost beer"
"man, I need another round...I can't stop ghost beering"
