Shoutout to when I was listening to a wip of this song at the park and I heard some kids on the slides start roleplaying family guy this is a real thing that happened
I told my friend this was one of my favorite ghost songs, and she SIDE EYED ME. Like, excise me, just because your favorite is housewife radio doesn't mean you get to judge that I like this masterpiece.
@shushiiiiiiiiii Lmao half her personality is how much she likes her boyfriend and the other half is how much she likes hazbin hotel 😭😭 were not even really friends anymore 💀
One detail I noticed is how, at 2:02, for instance, all the eyes are looking at her, but on all pictures where the scythe is there, the eyes sculpted on the scythe look in the opposite direction, which could be representative of Cotard’s syndrome, since from what I understand it makes the person think they’re dying or dead, the scythe looking the other way meaning she isn’t under death’s watch
This song is way more relaxed and softer than ScapeGoat, yet the visuals are darker. Scapegoat is energetic, fast paced, and happier. This song is relaxing, slow, and gorey. I LIVE THE DIFFERENT STYLES Edit : I'm not saying the meaning of ScapeGoat is happy, it's actually a pretty dark song. I was talking about the beat being upbeat, not the lyrics or meaning.
Scapegoat to me isn't happy exactly, I see it as more vengeful and angry and the happy parts seem to be exposing or getting back at somone abusive (thats my take)
I love the design of the reaper character so much, the eye iconography is so cool and them not having eyes just adds an extra layer of awesomeness to the character design
So, the lyric "Cotard and I alone" I'm guessing refers to Cotard's syndrome which basically describes a kind of genre of delusions where someone believes they or parts of their body are dead, dying, or don't exist? Since the whole video is centered around imagery of active decay and a person vibing with the Grim Reaper I'm guessing the first scenario is what's going on specifically. Delusions of immortality are also apparently part of it.
The immortality would make sense. I'm not at all knowledgeable about this, but if someone were to think they were dead or didn't exist, it wouldn't be a stretch for then to think they couldn't die.
easily one of my favorite songs of yours now.... the chord progression/melody is so simply melancholic, "no matter what i try, i seem to stay alive" is haunting in a beautiful way (thank you carbon monoxide my friend). both yours and vane's styles shine through so clearly and it still sounds so unique from anything the two of you have made before; each song from either of you gets better and better and its delightfully inspiring to me. will have this one on repeat for a good while....!!!
I don't know how literally we should interpret this song, but I caught a lyric that explains some things once you know what it means: "Cotard and I alone" at 2:46. According to Google (so maybe take what I say with a grain of salt), Cotard's syndrome, Cotard's delusion, or Walking Corpse Syndrome is characterized by a belief that you are dying, dead, do not exist, or are missing body parts. That's the important information for this song. For other general knowledge, it's rare and is not in the DSM as of now, so for official diagnoses, it is considered a symptom of another disorder, not its own separate disorder.
I feel bad for the people in the comments being “OMG ASTERIAN” “ASTERIAN MY BELOVED” “I’M SO EXCITED TO SEE ASTERIAN” and him just being backgrounds vocals Btw I like this, Vane and you did a great work!
back with another comment to go in depth more abt my feelings for this song- idk if it was the original idea, but in terms of how i relate to this song. it feels a lot like reaching your 20s when as a kid you had convinced yourself that something was gonna kill you before you reached 18, even if that something was yourself. you don't actively wanna die anymore, but theres this sorta feeling of being in limbo once you reach adulthood suffering from passive suicidal ideation. like a corpse that shouldnt be walking, still going about life and doing things, when it feels like you're supposed to be decomposing in the dirt somewhere. im only reaching my 4th year into my 20s myself, but its definitely a feeling that goes away for a bit and comes back to haunt you when you least expect it. springs on its way and the feeling of the seasons changing has really been messing with me, but with this song, i feel like it'll be easier to get through the next couple weeks before spring fully hits :) thank you both for this song

lyrics ~ Icicles of a medial at unease Please just pull me together and repair me Old thoughts floating above a new horizon Something I'll never doubt; I know I'm rotten Breaking, snapping fingers Cracking visions Right behind my 700th eye "Are you alright?" Frigid, interlocking Wooden men are watching Filling me with polar fear As it appears All this time, I've felt like my time to go would arrive That it can't last forever; I've been decaying Moldy scaffolding, ritual strangling No matter what I try, I seem to stay alive My body should be cold The eyes of maggots gazing through to my soul I left so long ago Behind me are the tears I couldn't control Now with nowhere to go I closed my eyes and fell in the snow Lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep Heaven's melancholy Higher voices calling Through my 700th eye But I'm alright Frostbite doesn't hurt me Aptly negating my mortality It's hard, but I'm alright All this time, I've waited My death was recreated So this would last forever Accepting agony Cruel indifference, lonely sufferance Returning to a time when I was still alive All this time, I've felt like my time to go would arrive That it can't last forever; I've been decaying God's deliverance, bygone innocence These credences I've always feared were never even real My body decomposed The eyes of maggots gazing through to my soul Cotard and I alone In a paranoid and barren funeral home Ahh~ The eyes of maggots gazing through to my soul In a paranoid and barren funeral home
You wake up It's a Wednesday morning. You go along your day, doing your job, learning, and doing whatever you do. Now it's late. You get on your computer to do some extra work. *then you see it* "HONEY A NEW GHOST SONG GOT POSTED"
"Icicles of medial unease, please just pull me together and repair me, old thoughts floating above a new horizon" Unsure if this is intended or not but this is probably the best wording for PTSD (intentional or not) I've ever seen and it's making me love this song so much
This song sounds a lot to me like the process of dealing with trauma, first the experience of it, then the "recreation" of her death sounds a like like trying to work through memories or old emotions and having to sit with it. I'm not sure if this is right, but either way I love this song so much
@@kitsumeimei it was housewife radio for me! the pounding rhythm made writing dry essays less mindnumbing. nowadays i listen to newer tracks too :) good luck with high school! if you plan to go to college, the best part is that you can choose your schedule so i never had a class before 10am, such luxury.
This is probably the most underrated ghost song. I’ve seen a lot of hate towards it, but it will always be one of my favorite songs. Ghost and carbon did a great job on this!!!
I can feel my already decomposed body awakening thanks to you GHOST. You, who has brought me back to life, can’t thank you enough, I am forever in depth of you, GHOST.
this song is so addicting it made me feel fr how consciently rotting would feel like. have you ever been so addicted to a song every part of your soul CRAVES it and you physically feel ill for hearing it so mch you grow tired of it but still can't stop? and it echoes through you every time you hear it. it's fine tho i love this feeling, thank you ghost you do this to me with every song you post /srs
god i feel that way about culpability and the panopticon 😩🖐 ik that feeling exactly like when you wish there were more songs like it so you actually start looking around but then you cant find anything and you mentally start crying because you realise how special the song is because its one of a kind but at the same time youve listened to it so much you can vividly replay it in your head *and then you wanna hear it again.*
I just love Ghost music, it makes me so happy no matter the topic just bc of how stimulating the music is and inspiring Ghost as a person is. I really admire you Ghost, I pray your journey continues and that you gain happiness in life🖤
i’ve been listening to this song for a while, but i’ve only watched the pmv a few times, and the imagery at the first drop never fails to jumpscare me. thank you for this brilliant and disturbing song, i rate it 700 eyes out of 700
Lyrics! They're kind of dark on screen so I thought this might help anyone looking for them :] "Icicles of a medial at unease Please just pull me together and repair me Old thoughts floating above a new horizon Something I'll never doubt; I know I'm rotten Breaking, snapping fingers Cracking visions Right behind my 700th eye "Are you alright?"

it's not about the dark, it's about using an automatic translator in the case of words that you don't understand. Thank you very much. Unfortunately, it wasn't your comment with the lyrics that appeared first.
Oh my GOD! This melody is so unique, and the music complements the visuals and lyrics perfectly. Mai and Asterian were excellent choices for a song like this, so haunting! I love the way the music changes from the chorus to the shorter lyrics, too! You all did such an amazing job, this is such an awesome work of art!!
Ghost, Vane this is such an amazing piece! The instrumental is so unique and vocal melody is amazing!! The art is beautiful with the colors contrasting perfectly!
Babes wake up new collab by my favorites just dropped You’ve done it again, Ghost, Vane and Carbon! You’ve really outdone yourselves with this one! I just love the feel of this song, and the video is just beautiful to match. You all inspire me every day to engage in my own projects and to just keep my head up, and I can’t thank you enough for that. Keep it up :)
GOD this song is so. going right to the SOUL you guys killed it with this one. this is going to make me insane for entirely different reasons than precious couple bangers did. this is everything to me
First time commenting after being a relatively new fan. This song speaks to some on a more personal level. I interpret the song to be about who’s gone through trauma and has given up on life and has tried to killed themselves but failed and has just accepted life and just waits for death. My alternate interpretation and how I personally correlate to me is this, I have never contemplated suicide but I’ve gone through a multitude of events all at the same time in my life around 14 that completely changed my outlook on the world and questioning everything. The events caused me to literally start thinking that my life was over before it started on constantly seeking validation that it wasn’t true. My personality literally started to decay and die and over the next few years I tried to mold myself to please people I loved because I saw so much pain around me because i wanted to help and the specific events pertaining to me I started mold myself to fit what I thought was supposed to be me and hide the real me, then ended up going into a stereotype of what I thought I was supposed to be. This whole thing created such a personal identity crisis that I to this day still struggle with. This is why I relate to this song so much because it’s about someone going through trauma and as result their sense of self dies and just feels so empty and numb. You don’t know who you are or who you will be as a result. Side note, I want to thank my parents so much for the therapy they put me into because if I hadn’t gotten the help I needed, I would of been in a severely darker place in my life. Lastly, I thank you ghost for another beautiful vent song because your songs always cheer me up and help get out my pent up emotions. Thank you 💜
Oh, as for me, only Split idol and Iolite can compare to this song in sadness. It's so magnetic, but makes me empty and I love these feelings. Seriously, I can listen to it forever and feel how I'm getting more and more desperate. Just applause everyone who made this song, you all are amazing (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+ (And sorry for mistakes maybe, my English is bad yet lmao)
This song is a little hard to make sense of. I think it’s about someone who narrowly escaped death in a tragic accident, who then became extremely paranoid. She started to feel like all these little things were lethal. Someone walking down the street? Better watch out, the only thing separating me from them is the road. Or maybe that tragic event was a disease barely survived, and she became worried that something similar would happen. She dealt with thoughts like this for an extended period of time, and it started to wear down on her mind. She began to wonder whether she should have survived the accident. Life became a chore when she spent it in constant paranoia. The people around her started seeing the toll of this constant weight. “Are you all right?” They asked. What other answer could she give besides “I’m alright.” She felt like she had already died, like a piece of her died with her tragedy, and that the real tragedy was that she didn’t die with it.
КАПЕЦ КАК ЖЕ ЭТО КЛАССНО ААА--- Балдею от каждой новой песни всё больше и больше. 2023 начался просто замечательно ! 🍀🍵 не часто вижу красно-синие палитры , , , но тут всё так хорошо смотрится охох
I AM SO HAPPY TO KNOW ABOUT MY FRIEND COLLABING TO MAKE SUCH A GREAT SONG... the PV is great too!! I love the "All this time, I thought my time to go would arrive" part, the instrumental sounds like it's pondering and subtly tempestuous!!
обидно, что когда выходит новая песня я занят. сейчас я сижу на уроке, и сожалею что послушаю песню только дома из-за шума. я уверен что это снова очень классная песня, я люблю ваше творчество
I think ghost songs are one of the first examples i found in person of 'you have to listen to it more then once'. Bc when i first listened to this and other songs i didnt really care for them but after the 3rd listen its one of the best songs ive listened to.
Ghost your music has always had a tinge of darkness to it but this has to be one of my favorites! I have been listening to your music for a while now and I must say no matter how much your music changes it still always captivates me the feelings you manage to capture in your songs :)
The "Lay me down to sleep, i pray the lord my soul to keep" line is almost identical to one of the lines of the first doll that could talk"As i lay myself down to sleep, i pray the lord my soul to keep"
ohh, this has to be my favorite out of your recent songs !!! I adore the uneasy softness this track has. The artwork is stunning - especially the colors !! that first piece is SO beautiful and creepy, it would make a great print !
Wow wow wow wow wow! This song is all over the the place with slow lyrics to fast paced ones! The beat in the background is something unlike I’ve ever heard in a song! It’s amazing! Keep up the great work!!
I know this was 2 weeks ago but… When this song was 7 Hours ago, I was like “Holy shit! ghost made a new song! Jesus! mighta check in Spotify” and then I checked on Spotify, and you know what I saw? Nothing, and I feel so stupid because of course! it was just 7 hours ago, so I waited and waited and FINALLY it was on Spotify. Thank you Ghost for making lovely songs and putting some of them on Spotify ♡
goddddd ive been listening to u since 2015/2016 and ur music really helped me through a period of mental illness and dealing w a personality disorder as an adolescent, and they're still hitting!!!! like every drop i still relate to and its been amazing seeing both ur art and music progress over time.
I'm a new ghost fan and I've just realised why I liked this song so much. I have to study a lot, I'm burnt out and I feel like a "deathbody". I feel like I'm just existing from weekends to weekends. That's not an exact interpretation of the song, of course, but I just thought it sounds interesting. (sorry if there are any mistakes, English isn't my native language)
this song means so much to me. i dont suffer with cotards, but theres something to the lyrics and imagery that really gets to me. the feeling of being dead as a metaphor for feeling like one's life was over before it began, or like its too late to begin living... it doesnt help that the references to christianity, eyes, and the cold are prevalent to my brain and experiences (religious/moral ocd, persistently feeling like im being watched, specifically associating feelings of depression with the cold or being cold). plus the instrumentals and harmonies are incredibly soothing. its melancholic yeah but, its calm to me.
I'll be honest, this song has such an amazing sadness too it. It's not slow or quiet or somber, but the melody of it just carries a REAL emotion to it. Absolutely impressed.
I love this song, though it has that chaotic trademark beat that your songs have, it feels oddly sad. Using Mai's soft voice added to that feeling of sadness, and I like it. I can really grasp the emotions and meanings in this song!
i cannot put into words how absolutely perfect the timing on this release was because you premiered LITERALLY during a curse of strahd session where the entire party had been possessed by godlike entities that were fighting each other to become more powerful, the amount of bonkers i went seeing this in the notifs mid battle was Catastrophic. name a more iconic fandom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the CoS players in our game is playing a reborn, and the player likes making playlists for her characters so I remember the DM suggesting this song and she liked it
ooooh my gosh the soft, melancholic vocals with the crunchy almost mechanical music......the lyrics are so delicious....this is becoming another favorite ghost song oh my
Ive been loving the recent instrumentals on the songs! They have such a unique sound, sort of chaotic but angelic, literally my exact kind of thing Keep it up , love this song as allways :D
Every single song you make is poetic to my bones. Literally every single song. Even the just music one's are a bop. I cannot believe that. Most artists eventually make something different or go a different direction but this is always beautiful and a pure bop. Old or new. Bop. Your music is a bop.
If GHOST were a chef, their gimmick would be making dishes with exactly the same ratio of ingredients (all very wrong in conjunction to what meal it’s supposed to be) and every selection of ingredients are wildly different.
i know that this will sound and seem very superficial, and it probably is, but as someone with LSC, i find myself weirdly relating to this song. it really speaks to the part of me that is frustrated, and damn near fed up, with feeling like my body (or skin) is decaying in spite of everything that i try to do to fix it. that's also accentuated even more by the fact that the skin of the girl in th evideo seems to be weakened or scaly in certain parts, and completely missing from the lower half of her face. LSC may not cause the skin to be completely scrubbed off or removed, but with how much it itches or burns sometimes, it definitely feels like that sometimes.
@@ShowdollP I'm glad you clarified this because I was felt kinda awkward to ask/ point out if he's singing because I couldn't discern his voice at any point
Another amazing song bro I just don't know what else to say. I love the way they experiment with different styles like scape goat was very loud with emphasis on the beat but this one is calm yet it's that calm where you start to feel uneasy by the end of the song. The worms are wiggling from joy and I love every single thing ghost makes. All the love! 😘
edit: ITS BEEN ADDED !!! me returning to this video and checking the description to see if the songs been put on apple music yet like a wife checking her mailbox every day while her husband is away from the Great War
Gorgeous and positively haunting work!!! Something I've noticed, especially in Aura and Scapegoat--your tuning has gotten so refined to the point that sometimes I forget these are voicebanks HAHA
A little strange there isn't an interpretation in the comment i've seen yet that's interpreting at least the pv if not the song itself to touch on what it's like to finally meet another person with a chronic condition at least somewhat similar to yours. [rotting/decomposing is a very common self-description for the experience of chronic pain and I also personally gravitate to undead characters as a disabled person a lot] the reaper character's [i wonder if there are names for these two? they're both very cute] presence is significantly more lighthearted than our narrator's, though they're clearly dealing with the same pain, but had more experience with managing it or at least discarding the internalized ableism associated with being chronically ill. Even their mask has a cheeky reference to missing eyes sort of, they clearly don't share our narrator's self-deprecation about it even if the progression from 'should be cold' to 'decomposed' actually implies they're further along with their symptoms. The segment with them missing eyes is spooky and such sure [though you'll see it coming pretty easily] but narratively it's clearly a relief to formally have them open up to the narrator about this, and to officially confirm the two are similar and though the narrator won't get better it's not as hopelessly miserable an experience than expected. My two cents anyway :) I'm not usually one to type up my interpretations considering art is better experienced as is but it felt like this somewhat obvious angle was sorely missing from the discussion since readings about disability are shockingly unpopular even for openly disabled artists

I love the design of the reaper character so much, the eye iconography is so cool and them not having eyes just adds an extra layer of awesomeness to the character design
I just noticed that you can see a red outline on the sleeping mask!
I love characters with juxtaposition like that!
So, the lyric "Cotard and I alone" I'm guessing refers to Cotard's syndrome which basically describes a kind of genre of delusions where someone believes they or parts of their body are dead, dying, or don't exist? Since the whole video is centered around imagery of active decay and a person vibing with the Grim Reaper I'm guessing the first scenario is what's going on specifically.
Delusions of immortality are also apparently part of it.
“Vibing with the Grim Reaper,” lol but your not wrong
Ngl, as soon as I saw 'Cotard & I alone' I heard Will wood's Cotard syndrome
The immortality would make sense. I'm not at all knowledgeable about this, but if someone were to think they were dead or didn't exist, it wouldn't be a stretch for then to think they couldn't die.
"These credences I've always feared were never even real."

~
Icicles of a medial at unease
Please just pull me together and repair me
Old thoughts floating above a new horizon
Something I'll never doubt; I know I'm rotten
Breaking, snapping fingers
Cracking visions
Right behind my 700th eye
"Are you alright?"
Frigid, interlocking
Wooden men are watching
Filling me with polar fear
As it appears
All this time, I've felt like my time to go would arrive
That it can't last forever; I've been decaying
Moldy scaffolding, ritual strangling
No matter what I try, I seem to stay alive
My body should be cold
The eyes of maggots gazing through to my soul
I left so long ago
Behind me are the tears I couldn't control
Now with nowhere to go
I closed my eyes and fell in the snow
Lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
Heaven's melancholy
Higher voices calling
Through my 700th eye
But I'm alright
Frostbite doesn't hurt me
Aptly negating my mortality
It's hard, but I'm alright
All this time, I've waited
My death was recreated
So this would last forever
Accepting agony
Cruel indifference, lonely sufferance
Returning to a time when I was still alive
All this time, I've felt like my time to go would arrive
That it can't last forever; I've been decaying
God's deliverance, bygone innocence
These credences I've always feared were never even real
My body decomposed
The eyes of maggots gazing through to my soul
Cotard and I alone
In a paranoid and barren funeral home
Ahh~
The eyes of maggots gazing through to my soul
In a paranoid and barren funeral home
Thanks for the lyrics ✨✨✨

You wake up
It's a Wednesday morning.
You go along your day, doing your job, learning, and doing whatever you do.
Now it's late. You get on your computer to do some extra work.
*then you see it*
"HONEY A NEW GHOST SONG GOT POSTED"
the new GHOST song really said "Honey I'm home"
Failboat reference spotted
"you wake up" *SOUND OF GLASS BREAKING AS YOU OPEN YOUR EYES FULLY TO THE WORLD*
Wednesday reference?

HONEY IM HOME AND A NEW GHOST SONG DROPPED
"Icicles of medial unease, please just pull me together and repair me, old thoughts floating above a new horizon"
Unsure if this is intended or not but this is probably the best wording for PTSD (intentional or not) I've ever seen and it's making me love this song so much
This song feels like singing a lullaby to a casket or a tomb. Wow. Sincerely wow.
This song sounds a lot to me like the process of dealing with trauma, first the experience of it, then the "recreation" of her death sounds a like like trying to work through memories or old emotions and having to sit with it. I'm not sure if this is right, but either way I love this song so much
Can’t wait to play this on loop for eternity as homework consumes me. Thank you, GHOST, for creating another masterpiece
im so glad someone else does their hw to ghost and pals. they got me through my toughest class in college
@@gwennorthcutt421 doing my homework to this song as we speak. It's quite literally getting me through high school
@@kitsumeimei it was housewife radio for me! the pounding rhythm made writing dry essays less mindnumbing. nowadays i listen to newer tracks too :) good luck with high school! if you plan to go to college, the best part is that you can choose your schedule so i never had a class before 10am, such luxury.
This feels nostalgic for some reason, I love it
I feel the same way! It feels like a cold rooftop breeze
This is probably the most underrated ghost song. I’ve seen a lot of hate towards it, but it will always be one of my favorite songs. Ghost and carbon did a great job on this!!!
People hate this song? Why?
@@roachewy yeah I never saw people *hating* this song
omg yes yes
and it's one of the least viewed proper songs like wym this only has 800k
I can feel my already decomposed body awakening thanks to you GHOST. You, who has brought me back to life, can’t thank you enough, I am forever in depth of you, GHOST.
If ghost ever makes a musical its all over.
huh?
@@MUSHYROOMPRODUCER It's a compliment
this song is so addicting it made me feel fr how consciently rotting would feel like.
have you ever been so addicted to a song every part of your soul CRAVES it and you physically feel ill for hearing it so mch you grow tired of it but still can't stop? and it echoes through you every time you hear it.
it's fine tho i love this feeling, thank you ghost you do this to me with every song you post /srs
god i feel that way about culpability and the panopticon 😩🖐
ik that feeling exactly like when you wish there were more songs like it so you actually start looking around but then you cant find anything and you mentally start crying because you realise how special the song is because its one of a kind but at the same time youve listened to it so much you can vividly replay it in your head
*and then you wanna hear it again.*
@@oogaboogaheehaw YES IVE GONE THROUGH THAT WITH CULPABILITY AND THE PANOPTICON TOO

We need an Asterian version. Basically where their vocal roles are swapped. Mai in the chorus instead.
Will wood prepared me to know references to obscure mental illnesses!! /J
Anyways amazing song I will shove it into my mouth
HELL YEAH, FELLOW WILLIAM WOOD FAN
I LOVE WILLIAM WOODIAN

The way my S/O and I jumped to UA-cam so fast when we saw the premier notification. Yet another banger delivered straight to the soul~
i’ve been listening to this song for a while, but i’ve only watched the pmv a few times, and the imagery at the first drop never fails to jumpscare me. thank you for this brilliant and disturbing song, i rate it 700 eyes out of 700
Lyrics! They're kind of dark on screen so I thought this might help anyone looking for them :]
"Icicles of a medial at unease
Please just pull me together and repair me
Old thoughts floating above a new horizon
Something I'll never doubt; I know I'm rotten
Breaking, snapping fingers
Cracking visions
Right behind my 700th eye
"Are you alright?"
Frigid, interlocking

it's not about the dark, it's about using an automatic translator in the case of words that you don't understand. Thank you very much. Unfortunately, it wasn't your comment with the lyrics that appeared first.
Watching everyone lose it in the live chat while here for the premiere is a whole experience, amazing work as usual!!!
Oh my GOD! This melody is so unique, and the music complements the visuals and lyrics perfectly. Mai and Asterian were excellent choices for a song like this, so haunting! I love the way the music changes from the chorus to the shorter lyrics, too! You all did such an amazing job, this is such an awesome work of art!!
u know it's gonna be a good one when the thumbnail looks like it's been deep fried 😋
I know right!
yummy thumbnail (oh the songs is yummy too)

My eyes genuinely popped out of my sockets and consumed my phone when they saw it
First the Nintendo Direct and now a new Ghost/Vane/Carbon song???
God IS real
Literally the only 2 things on my mind rn are
1. New splatoon 3 dlc, side order
And 2. This song
*honey im home intensifies*
Ghost, Vane this is such an amazing piece! The instrumental is so unique and vocal melody is amazing!! The art is beautiful with the colors contrasting perfectly!
Babes wake up new collab by my favorites just dropped
You’ve done it again, Ghost, Vane and Carbon! You’ve really outdone yourselves with this one! I just love the feel of this song, and the video is just beautiful to match. You all inspire me every day to engage in my own projects and to just keep my head up, and I can’t thank you enough for that. Keep it up :)
GOD this song is so. going right to the SOUL you guys killed it with this one. this is going to make me insane for entirely different reasons than precious couple bangers did. this is everything to me
I really love how melancholy this song is compared to most of Ghost's other stuff, it has a super unique vibe.
First time commenting after being a relatively new fan. This song speaks to some on a more personal level. I interpret the song to be about who’s gone through trauma and has given up on life and has tried to killed themselves but failed and has just accepted life and just waits for death. My alternate interpretation and how I personally correlate to me is this, I have never contemplated suicide but I’ve gone through a multitude of events all at the same time in my life around 14 that completely changed my outlook on the world and questioning everything. The events caused me to literally start thinking that my life was over before it started on constantly seeking validation that it wasn’t true. My personality literally started to decay and die and over the next few years I tried to mold myself to please people I loved because I saw so much pain around me because i wanted to help and the specific events pertaining to me I started mold myself to fit what I thought was supposed to be me and hide the real me, then ended up going into a stereotype of what I thought I was supposed to be. This whole thing created such a personal identity crisis that I to this day still struggle with. This is why I relate to this song so much because it’s about someone going through trauma and as result their sense of self dies and just feels so empty and numb. You don’t know who you are or who you will be as a result. Side note, I want to thank my parents so much for the therapy they put me into because if I hadn’t gotten the help I needed, I would of been in a severely darker place in my life. Lastly, I thank you ghost for another beautiful vent song because your songs always cheer me up and help get out my pent up emotions. Thank you 💜
I love roleplaying family guy to this tune, so cool!
Oh, as for me, only Split idol and Iolite can compare to this song in sadness. It's so magnetic, but makes me empty and I love these feelings. Seriously, I can listen to it forever and feel how I'm getting more and more desperate. Just applause everyone who made this song, you all are amazing (人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+
(And sorry for mistakes maybe, my English is bad yet lmao)
I just wanna say, I LOVE the character designs and art so much! You’re art is always phenomenal and I’ve loved seeing the improvement over time :]
what a lovely song to teach ur favorite child about the cycle of life!
This song is a little hard to make sense of. I think it’s about someone who narrowly escaped death in a tragic accident, who then became extremely paranoid. She started to feel like all these little things were lethal. Someone walking down the street? Better watch out, the only thing separating me from them is the road. Or maybe that tragic event was a disease barely survived, and she became worried that something similar would happen.
She dealt with thoughts like this for an extended period of time, and it started to wear down on her mind. She began to wonder whether she should have survived the accident. Life became a chore when she spent it in constant paranoia.
The people around her started seeing the toll of this constant weight. “Are you all right?” They asked. What other answer could she give besides “I’m alright.”
She felt like she had already died, like a piece of her died with her tragedy, and that the real tragedy was that she didn’t die with it.
I thought this song was about someone coping with the delusion that they should be dead while still suffering with it.
КАПЕЦ КАК ЖЕ ЭТО КЛАССНО ААА---

This song is number one on my wrapped and that feels scarily fitting for me I think about this song so often I adore it
Same!!
I AM SO HAPPY TO KNOW ABOUT MY FRIEND COLLABING TO MAKE SUCH A GREAT SONG... the PV is great too!! I love the "All this time, I thought my time to go would arrive" part, the instrumental sounds like it's pondering and subtly tempestuous!!
обидно, что когда выходит новая песня я занят. сейчас я сижу на уроке, и сожалею что послушаю песню только дома из-за шума. я уверен что это снова очень классная песня, я люблю ваше творчество
Ооо, русскоязычным привет)))

I think ghost songs are one of the first examples i found in person of 'you have to listen to it more then once'. Bc when i first listened to this and other songs i didnt really care for them but after the 3rd listen its one of the best songs ive listened to.
Asterion deserves more prominence I'm obsessed with him.
Ghost your music has always had a tinge of darkness to it but this has to be one of my favorites! I have been listening to your music for a while now and I must say no matter how much your music changes it still always captivates me the feelings you manage to capture in your songs :)
The "Lay me down to sleep, i pray the lord my soul to keep" line is almost identical to one of the lines of the first doll that could talk"As i lay myself down to sleep, i pray the lord my soul to keep"
ohh, this has to be my favorite out of your recent songs !!! I adore the uneasy softness this track has. The artwork is stunning - especially the colors !! that first piece is SO beautiful and creepy, it would make a great print !
This song lingers in my mind constantly because not only do I resonate with the lyrics but the vocals tickle my brain. I just love this song so much.
Wow wow wow wow wow! This song is all over the the place with slow lyrics to fast paced ones! The beat in the background is something unlike I’ve ever heard in a song! It’s amazing! Keep up the great work!!
I was there at the premiere and damn THIS IS A BANGER ! "Are you alright?" NO !
Nice art, nice character design, nice music, nice tuning-- another banger, I love it :)
Арты КРУТЕЦКИЕ, да и сама песня тоже!!

seriously though, ghost, carbon and vane you guys did so well on this. :D
When I saw it was a collab with Vane I just knew this was going to be top notch, amazing you guys!! 😦
The visuals weird me the fuck out but the sound is so addicting… I keep going back to listen to it…
I think this is the darkest song you’ve written so far

This is the best narrative song I have heard in my entire life.
I know this was 2 weeks ago but… When this song was 7 Hours ago, I was like “Holy shit! ghost made a new song! Jesus! mighta check in Spotify” and then I checked on Spotify, and you know what I saw? Nothing, and I feel so stupid because of course! it was just 7 hours ago, so I waited and waited and FINALLY it was on Spotify. Thank you Ghost for making lovely songs and putting some of them on Spotify ♡
This song was only released 4 days ago and it's singlehandedly made me rethink my entire self thank you ghost
happy 1 year
I absolutely love this one, you guys did so well!! The color palette looks amazing, I never thought of coloring like that before.
goddddd ive been listening to u since 2015/2016 and ur music really helped me through a period of mental illness and dealing w a personality disorder as an adolescent, and they're still hitting!!!! like every drop i still relate to and its been amazing seeing both ur art and music progress over time.
I'm a new ghost fan and I've just realised why I liked this song so much. I have to study a lot, I'm burnt out and I feel like a "deathbody". I feel like I'm just existing from weekends to weekends. That's not an exact interpretation of the song, of course, but I just thought it sounds interesting. (sorry if there are any mistakes, English isn't my native language)
this song means so much to me. i dont suffer with cotards, but theres something to the lyrics and imagery that really gets to me.
the feeling of being dead as a metaphor for feeling like one's life was over before it began, or like its too late to begin living... it doesnt help that the references to christianity, eyes, and the cold are prevalent to my brain and experiences (religious/moral ocd, persistently feeling like im being watched, specifically associating feelings of depression with the cold or being cold). plus the instrumentals and harmonies are incredibly soothing. its melancholic yeah but, its calm to me.
I'll be honest, this song has such an amazing sadness too it. It's not slow or quiet or somber, but the melody of it just carries a REAL emotion to it. Absolutely impressed.
I love this song, though it has that chaotic trademark beat that your songs have, it feels oddly sad. Using Mai's soft voice added to that feeling of sadness, and I like it. I can really grasp the emotions and meanings in this song!
i cannot put into words how absolutely perfect the timing on this release was because you premiered LITERALLY during a curse of strahd session where the entire party had been possessed by godlike entities that were fighting each other to become more powerful, the amount of bonkers i went seeing this in the notifs mid battle was Catastrophic. name a more iconic fandom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the CoS players in our game is playing a reborn, and the player likes making playlists for her characters so I remember the DM suggesting this song and she liked it
Honestly, those songs get better everytime a new one releases, keep going, you're talented.
ooooh my gosh the soft, melancholic vocals with the crunchy almost mechanical music......the lyrics are so delicious....this is becoming another favorite ghost song oh my
Ive been loving the recent instrumentals on the songs! They have such a unique sound, sort of chaotic but angelic, literally my exact kind of thing
Keep it up , love this song as allways :D
how the hell are all your songs so good-
this is why you are my fave music artist; your music is not just good, but amazing :)
Every single song you make is poetic to my bones. Literally every single song. Even the just music one's are a bop. I cannot believe that. Most artists eventually make something different or go a different direction but this is always beautiful and a pure bop. Old or new. Bop. Your music is a bop.
If GHOST were a chef, their gimmick would be making dishes with exactly the same ratio of ingredients (all very wrong in conjunction to what meal it’s supposed to be) and every selection of ingredients are wildly different.
i know that this will sound and seem very superficial, and it probably is, but as someone with LSC, i find myself weirdly relating to this song. it really speaks to the part of me that is frustrated, and damn near fed up, with feeling like my body (or skin) is decaying in spite of everything that i try to do to fix it.
that's also accentuated even more by the fact that the skin of the girl in th evideo seems to be weakened or scaly in certain parts, and completely missing from the lower half of her face. LSC may not cause the skin to be completely scrubbed off or removed, but with how much it itches or burns sometimes, it definitely feels like that sometimes.
ASTERIAN MY BELOVED. SO HYPED FOR THIS
SAME I LOVE ASTERIAN
@@ShowdollP I was wondering where he was
@@ShowdollP I'm glad you clarified this because I was felt kinda awkward to ask/ point out if he's singing because I couldn't discern his voice at any point
ASYERIAN 🤯
Another amazing song bro I just don't know what else to say. I love the way they experiment with different styles like scape goat was very loud with emphasis on the beat but this one is calm yet it's that calm where you start to feel uneasy by the end of the song. The worms are wiggling from joy and I love every single thing ghost makes. All the love! 😘
edit: ITS BEEN ADDED !!!
me returning to this video and checking the description to see if the songs been put on apple music yet like a wife checking her mailbox every day while her husband is away from the Great War
Daaaaang. This was such a good yet melancholy song
Gorgeous and positively haunting work!!! Something I've noticed, especially in Aura and Scapegoat--your tuning has gotten so refined to the point that sometimes I forget these are voicebanks HAHA
this whole aesthetic is such a vibe omg
I miss Ghost's old art style but:
This song is very cool!
yeah I agree, but the songs still s l a p
The musicals are so addicting and have that somewhat mysterious vibe, the vocals are amazing and THE MELODY IS SO CATCHY AAAA
Nice to see some different asthethics in the songs!
Also I like the ocs!
I'm obsessed with this song so fking much it's so good, I love how hauntingly beautiful the vocals sound with the instrumental 😩
A little strange there isn't an interpretation in the comment i've seen yet that's interpreting at least the pv if not the song itself to touch on what it's like to finally meet another person with a chronic condition at least somewhat similar to yours. [rotting/decomposing is a very common self-description for the experience of chronic pain and I also personally gravitate to undead characters as a disabled person a lot]
the reaper character's [i wonder if there are names for these two? they're both very cute] presence is significantly more lighthearted than our narrator's, though they're clearly dealing with the same pain, but had more experience with managing it or at least discarding the internalized ableism associated with being chronically ill. Even their mask has a cheeky reference to missing eyes sort of, they clearly don't share our narrator's self-deprecation about it even if the progression from 'should be cold' to 'decomposed' actually implies they're further along with their symptoms.
The segment with them missing eyes is spooky and such sure [though you'll see it coming pretty easily] but narratively it's clearly a relief to formally have them open up to the narrator about this, and to officially confirm the two are similar and though the narrator won't get better it's not as hopelessly miserable an experience than expected.
My two cents anyway :) I'm not usually one to type up my interpretations considering art is better experienced as is but it felt like this somewhat obvious angle was sorely missing from the discussion since readings about disability are shockingly unpopular even for openly disabled artists
