I love this comment because your pfp being a person with a huge hole through their chest implies that your top surgery was actually akin to cutting a giant hole through your torso with a human cookie cutter
@@KatKitty_ I feel great thank you! My pain was/is extremely minimal. I look so different in all my shirts and it's really crazy, honestly. I can't find the words to describe how much better I feel lol.
Hey, Ghost, I don't know if you're gonna see this, but I've recently started working on the MV for my first vocaloid song and you literally were THE person who got me into this and inspired me to want to make songs. Everything new from you is so good, and I really love your work! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
this song reminds me of emotional neglect, i think someone else also said the same thing. wanting to express yourself as a kid and receive comfort, only to be denied of it. mom would instead come to you for comfort and embrace. she doesnt do the same for you... she ignored and invalidated you by telling you that HER problems are bigger than yours. youre forced to be the adult, forced to contain your emotions because no one cares, right? but when you grow up and find people who really care, you push them away. my feelings really dont matter, its alright! relatable.. updated theory after listening for the 728th time: "attuned inside with context applied" because of how you were treated as a child, you create a mindset where you believe that you need to feel a certain way at certain times. "should i then believe my dealings? spit it out, forget my feelings" you start to lose sight of which feelings are yours, and which feelings are ones people expect you to have. the dolls/mannequins in the mv also could represent how people are expecting you to behave. emotionless, only there for physical presence. bendable to their wills. i love breaking down ghost songs
A bit different for me, but SUPER relatable. That explains why I relate to this song so much- In addition, the "uncanny all along" part could mean that the singer found out they had a mental issue, or something was mentally wrong with them, and they embrace/accept it as a part of them and possibly stand up for themselves.
Maybe I'm just projecting, so please forgive me if this comes off as overstepping, but to me this song comes off as realizing you're a system and dealing with the traumatic memories that come with healing and integration. Uncanny, like it's almost real but not quite. I dunno, again I'm probably projecting, but nonetheless this song made us feel less alone.
could you explain a bit more about how/why you believe this song is about did? im a singlet and i cant really understand this, but i would really like to understand so i can get the most out of this song ^^! im so sorry if this comment is ignorant or rude at all! im just really curious on this take because ive seen it a few times and it seems to be correct
I don’t know if you will see this Ghost but I have schizophrenia and this song really conveys what I feel on a daily basis. I constantly go through fits and have to have people help me and I can’t believe how this song describes my issue so well. I know it’s probably not based around schizophrenia but it feels like it is and I really like that
(4:02) Just noticed that "ON MY OWN" was placed above "THROUGH SOBS, 'I FEEL TOO WRONG'" & beneath "THE THINGS I SEE ARE A DREAD I MUST WITHSTAND" so when "THROUGH SOBS, 'I FEEL TOO WRONG'" disappears, the text reads "THE THINGS I SEE ARE A DREAD I MUST WITHSTAND ON MY OWN". Don't know whether that was intentional or not but it's the little details like this that really enhance the meaning of a song. (Especially because the text that I pointed out aligns with "THROUGH SOBS, 'I FEEL TOO WRONG' ON MY OWN" vocalized in the song.) Incredible work as always.
Hey, GHOST, I'm using a translator and I don't know if I'll read this letter, but I'm a Korean who really likes your songs. I really like your song and I really want to tell you this. I feel really happy when I hear your unique character and unique song that I fell in love with from the first time. These days, my body and mind are not very good. I love your song so much and I want to learn English that I didn't care about thanks to you. My sick body is getting better. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful song and art. There are many more things I want to tell you, but it got too long, so I'll tell you later. Thank you so much for making a song that comforts me! I would appreciate it if you read this letter.
NEW GHOST SONG?? okay first, SLOW DOWN ITS BEEN 3 MONTHS SINCE RECKLESS BATTERY BURNS ONLY. THIS WAS MADE SO QUICK BUT SO GOOD second, THE ART HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH?? third, new fav song?
Maybe I'm just self-projecting, but is this song about flashbacks of CSA? the imagery of handprints, the implications of repeating memories, "a child hides away and cries", the shift between "hold my hand even if I cry" and "go away even if I cry", the general feeling of being less than human because of what happened. The lines "self-spinning lies, unconscious surmise. I shouldn't pry, a child hides away and cries" absolutely reminds me of not fully knowing what happened (especially in a DID context where you typically forget exact details of trauma) and having to hold back from prying into whats been tucked away for a reason. There's so SO many similarities between these lyrics and my own experience with sexual trauma, especially as a system. It would take hours if I listed every reason and dissected every line.
"a story told but never gone cold / the cited truth, malleable youth" as a pair of lines really stood out to me through that lens. whether its reliving the memories on your own or having to regurgitate them time and time again to cps and police and the like. and the unshakeable knowledge that youve been taken advantage of and manipulated. Yeah. :(
I don't comment often, but I wanted to on this song because it's so impactful to me. I have C-PTSD, and this song resonates hard with me. Even just the title "Uncanny" and the cover image were enough to make me know what this song was going to be. The cover image is strikingly similar to something I had drawn myself years ago, when I was struggling and hadn't yet accepted or truly acknowledged my trauma. This song absolutely hits the nail on the head about how it feels to sift through your past and process things. Horribly unreal, uncanny, disconnected from yourself - fleeting feelings or sensations and no whole memories, no certainties. It's hard. Ghost, I hope ya'll are doing okay.
LYRICS (i write these out because i can) attuned inside, alluded, denied i feel my breath pressed into contact undo the seal, the vague and unreal i shouldn't pry, a child sighs and hides away align my eyes, to focus, despise i notice hands around my center undo the seal, the vague and unreal i feel it pry, a child sighs and hides visions intangible though small, they echo through the night memories i've felt before again and again, ghosts blind my sight hold my hand even if i cry i need to feel like i'm human through you hold on tight till the tears run dry the things i see are a dread to undo don't go, i feel too wrong uncanny all along attuned inside with context applied i feel, this time, i shouldn't say it self-spinning lies, unconscious surmise i shouldn't pry, a child hides away and cries enabled thoughts, are they real or not? a story sold but never gone cold the cited truth, malleable youth although i know emotions tell it all visions intangible though small, they echo through the night memories i've felt before again and again, ghosts blind my sight should i then believe my dealings?

THE SONG SOUNDS AWESOME! Obviously idk what this song is about, but I like to personally relate it to my aunt emotionally neglecting me. Especially with how somewhere in the start they’re asking someone to hold them even though they’re crying, but then near the end tell them not to. I would’ve wanted comfort as a kid no matter what I was upset about. But she kept making it seem like my emotions weren’t worth it so now I still struggle with feeling like a burden if I’m upset about something I don’t think is “worthy” of being upset about
When the song first came out, it made me feel really uncomfortable and I never understood why. It sounds absolutely amazing but I had this subtle bitter feeling seeping through me whenever I gave it a listen. Years later I come back to listen and come to the realization I was dissociating (and depersonalizing) on command ever since childhood to cope with reality to the point I forgot too much of myself and what happened. I'm not sure if it was my repressed self feeling uncomfortable or wanting to be noticed listening to this, but you helped me realize so much stuff I never knew I would've been able to think up on my own til now. Thank you.
This has the feeling of dissecting and recalling your childhood trauma, dealing with flashbacks and being unable to tell “then” from “now.” Even if this wasn’t the intention, it’s helping me. Thank you!
Ya know, the whole "The things I see are a dread I must withstand on my own" thing, in combination with whole questioning of your own emotions and invalidating them REALLY sounding relatable to a level I enjoy and that hurts me deeply
ghost, you don't know me, but I've been following your art and music from the beginning and always felt an indescribable pull to it. I recently was diagnosed with did and am coming to understand my system (it's so disorienting and stressful!) and now I know why I always connected so deeply to your music. I could instantly tell what you were trying to convey through this song. thank you so much for sharing your perceptions so people like us can be possibly be heard and understood, it means so much to me. your music has also helped me realize I had other mental problems, so I can't thank you enough. forever a fan, wishing you well and hoping you're healing the best you can through your beautiful art, music, and other means 🖤 ~ from a fellow system
I (another system haha) also could instantly tell what this song was trying to convey. came in the comments looking if anyone else picked up on it! thank you for the amazing song GHOST, it hits really close to home
I do wanna share something, at 3:15 - 3:44, whenever you hear "BACK AGAINST A WALL." repeat over and over again, the visuals and sound of the sentence itself makes it sound extremely intrusive in a way? The more the phrase is seen the more it looks "dangerous". ex: using the color red and making it more loud and staticy. Maybe in this period of the song the protagonist is experiencing a flashback that's overall becoming more and more distressing for them overtime. I'm thinking that the repeated mentions of the wall could mean one (or most likely both tbh) of two things; 1) sitting by a wall in that position is a potential trigger for the person, maybe they went to go do that after the trauma happened? 2) they curled up next to the wall *during* the trauma and the thing that caused it (abuser, accident, ext) approached them again there and continued the horrors. My theory is also supported by the fact that the song overall gets faster and more frantic sounding the more times we hear "backed against a wall" The static/fuzz in the song (specifically this segment) also adds to it for me because it could also mean a few things 1) the static could mean a growing state of dissociation (for me and others whenever a flashback happens i normally get flung into a strong state of dissociation, same goes for stress aswell) 2) the static could also represent how far our main character is being pushed from reality and into the flashback. This also is more likely because of the lines "should i then believe my dealings" "hear me out they're only feelings". "scrape it out, stare at the ceiling" could also be them attempting to ground themselves back into reality. 3) the static might just also be used as ambience to make these moments seem more frantic/distressed/frantic, i feel this is most likely considering the rest of the visuals. yes i did just write a theory for 29 seconds in a song, sorry if i made any errors or anything im actually supposed to be working on a serious video project of mine, hehe
i also decided to write about this because these 29 seconds are extremely relatable to me. Its like ghost personally ripped my brain out and scrubbed it into words, GHOST FUCKING CRACKED MY HEAD OPEN LIKE AN EGG AND EMPTIED ITS CONTENT AND MADE AN OMLETTE!!!!
god i've been following your work since like 2015 and absolutely none of your songs fail to be bangers, nor do they fail to come at the exact time i need to hear them 🥺 but man, the lyrics in this one hit especially hard. as someone with c-ptsd and did who's been depressed over traumatic memories all day today, this truly resonates with me and helps me not feel alone. your art is amazing as usual and continues to inspire me. thank you for uploading 💚

This song feels like what it's like to go through recovering blocked out memories from trauma and having to deal with your life and behavior be put into an entirely new context.
This song is striking, especially so understanding its story - the shot at 3:06 is gripping in a way that nothing else I've seen quite does. The sudden break into sharp shading and colours, the angle that doesn't feel like it's ABOUT the figure, moreso they just happen to be in it - the way the shadows from the window lean down.... it's HAUNTING. The image gives the idea that the figure is an afterthought, a fly caught in a storm. It's gripping and it caught me so off guard the first time I saw it. This is an amazing song, and its visual story is equally compelling.
I feel like Ghost is going through a Renaissance period, the past few songs have been undeniably some of the best music I've ever heard with really nice twists compared to their usual works. Battery burns was so experimental and a project with friends, but it feels like that and the 2 instrumental songs from a whole ago really opened up something solid. I'm really excited to see what comes up next, especially with this newer experimental style. Also???? This was a speedrun???
being apart of a did system, this song kinda puts into perspective how lonely it is to be in one, how empty it is and how it tears at you. and how the childhood trauma really reflects you ability to love and live. well done!:D
Honestly, I adore this. The emotions- an the way the voice gently trails down on things, such as "Though sobs, I feel too wrong, On my own" and "Uncanny all along"
this is an interesting change for ghost in my opinion. they used to have stationary characters, changing expression and sometimes poses once in a while, with an explosive and very active background. yet, in ghosts more recent works, theyve used more separate drawings of the characters in completely different and just as dynamic poses as before, with somewhat simplistic backgrounds. its like theyre shifting their focus from the backgrounds, to the foregrounds. which in my opinion both are amazing!! this is a great work, sped run or not :) keep it up ghost ily!
as someone with PTSD this song really means a lot to me; and the fact it was made in a DAY!? your work is outstanding to me. I would share my interpretation but im not too good at wording things :,( aneeeways thankies ghostie wosty
I love how only scrolling a little bit and so many people relate to this song for different reasons. It's amazing the diversity of something that can be conveyed and interpreted through a single song.
hi hello i know this song's meaning relates to having dissociative identity disorder, but the part at 3:27 hit hard for me. especially when the lyrics said "Spit it out, forget my feelings / Hear me out, they're only feelings." i grew up in a pretty religious household. when i first tried coming out i was told no. no because i am god's child and no because i wouldn't harm my loved ones like that. i never understood that because they're only feelings. i just thought a girl was pretty. my mother kept reminding me that god loves me. over and over. if god loved me for who i was, why the hell couldn't he suck it up that i wanted to kiss avril lavigne when i was a kid? why couldn't he accept i just wanted to hold a girl the way my uncle holds my aunt? the thoughts changed to "why can't he" to "why can't you" over time. my mom accepts me sort of now, but still doesn't believe me. i am not gay because i liked dolls when i was younger. i did not fit the stereotype that all sapphics or lesbians fit into the tomboyish category, therefore i am not gay. i am not gay because i wanted to join my towns cheerleading team when i was in middle school, that's what straight girls do. i am not gay because when i saw a lesbian-coded character kiss a girl in a marvel movie i didn't scream and jump up and down with joy in the theater, or cringe at their forwardness. i just smiled. "all people smile at couples," i told her. she replied with, "isn't your kind supposed to be fighting for this sort of stuff? i thought you'd react better." i still do not understand my mother's disapproval towards the thought of me holding another girls hand. they're only feelings.
I come back to this song so often because it speaks to me in a way i can't entirely explain. ive struggled (and am still struggling) with losing over half of the memories ive ever had, and this song brings that concept to life in a way i have never seen before. I remember listening to this on the bus this past school year and feeling oddly comforted that other people, especially other artists, understand what this feels like. the lyrics are are so heavy and well written, they just hit the nail on the head exactly. i just love this song man, thanks for exploring something that gets overlooked so often. thinking about putting together a dance cover maybe, its just so good
Time for lyrics. *inhales* - LYRICS - Attuned inside, alluded, denied I feel my breath pressed into contact Undo the seal, the vague and unreal I shouldn't cry, a child sighs and hides away Align my eyes, to focus, despise I notice hands around my center Undo the seal, the vague and unreal I feel it pry, a child sighs and hides Visions intangible Though small, they echo through the night Memories I've felt before Again and again, ghosts blind my sight HOLD MY HAND EVEN IF I CRY I NEED TO FEEL LIKE I'M HUMAN THROUGH YOU HOLD ON TIGHT TILL THE TEARS RUN DRY THE THINGS I SEE ARE A DREAD TO UNDO DON'T GO, I FEEL TOO WRONG...

(Uncanny all along...)
I tried several times to type up my thoughts on this song, but I haven't been able to phrase it in a way that I'm satisfied with so I'm just gonna give you my stream of consciousness. The song begins with the narrator sitting with their body spread out. Normally in art this would suggest confidence and domination, but their expression betrays how uncomfortable they feel. This is further contrasted by how the characters on their left and right look straight ahead with neutral expressions indicating how normal and not-out of place they feel. This causes the main character to seem more vulnerable than the others even though they all are nude, and nakedness is often used in art to convey vulnerability. Another thing that causes this character to seem more vulnerable is the patterns on their body. The repeating layers gives the illusion of depth, as if there are chunks of their body missing. Furthermore these patterns are everywhere and constantly changing. No matter which angle the character is viewed from or how they move their limbs the patterns are always visible and unobscured. This is contrasted by how the doll-like characters are able to protect the most sensitive parts of their bodies by positioning their hands and arms across their torsos, something that humans instinctually do when they feel threatened. Though unlike the main character, they don't always feel a need to protect what's sensitive as seen in the beginning when they stand with their arms at their sides. The rest of what I'm about to type is pure and utter stream of consciousness. The golden circle around their head like a halo, the dolls turning blue and red on the edges while red represents violation/blood and blue represents both the endlessness of the sky and the opposite of yellow, which is holy. The red hand prints appearing at the same time that the patterns start to cover the character's mouth. The character seeming to disappear intot he background at times. The ending being black and white like the patterns with hints of red and blue like the dolls. It's all really good.
This song is so important to us for so many reasons - but we just need to thank you from the bottom of our heart. This song saved us from a life of utter confusion and fear. This song actually helped us realize we were a system; that the internal voices that felt so real were, indeed, real beings. Our lapses in memory were not the lifelong side-effects of our core trauma, nor of just PTSD. The ANP (Apparently-Normal-Person) during the time this song came out would listen to this song almost religiously, imagining herself alongside the two 'Voices' that accompanied her. The little and I, who were the only two alters at the time. This song helps ground myself, the alter who is typing this. I must thank you, truly. I hope you continue to save lives with your music, because you saved ours. - O
(TW) I'm not sure if anybody else noticed this, but this song kind of sounds like someone's experience with csa. "A child sighs and hides, malleable youth" along with the fact that the character does not wear anything, the handprints, not wanting to be touched, and lastly, the fact that the spiral spots seem to be where things would most... happen. Someone tell me if I'm wrong with this...
AUGH every song you you release is an INSTANT banger i cannot wait to listen to this on endless repeat for about 5 days before finally adding this song to my ghost playlist (of which i will be listening to for the next few months)
YOOO OKAY BUT LIKE- THE FACT THAT THIS WAS SPEEDRAN- this was absolutely amazing??!? So good?!?!?!? I really like how you got to create such cool lyrics, music and art in less than three-four days!!!1!1!1! Really impressive and inspiring, I can’t wait to add it to my Spotify playlists:0!!!
Your songs never fail to amaze me!! I’m not sure if this is what the song is about, but the vibe I got from it was a god who wanted to live among humans, but couldn’t quite get anything right, just slightly off, ‘Uncanny’, and by the end the humans have rejected him and/or discussed him, and if so you captured it all PERFECTLY! the classic choir usually heard is holy places, with the electronic, almost unsettling beat, and the lyrics are genius! I personally love the contrast of ‘Hold my hand, even if I cry’ to ‘Go away, even if I cry’, Like, Just whoa. As someone who has been struggling with what I believe at times, this struck a chord I needed, I guess. It expresses the feeling I have. And the fact this took you TWO DAYS AND A HALFFFFFF you are INSANELY talented!! The music is beautiful, the art is stunning, and it makes me feel better after listening to it. Thank you so much, GHOST, for everything. Your songs have helped me through so much crap. I hope that whatever hardships you go through are over quickly, and I know you can get through them! Sorry for the long comment, have a birb! :D 🕊
I have a thing where I imagine characters singing songs/performing them, and when I listened to this, your comment was pretty much exactly what I was imagining! A lonely god trying their best to pretend to be a human and blend in, but never quite getting it right/getting close enough to communicate, but still invoking uncanny valley by accident, and this song kind of being their attempt to verbalise it to themselves (or maybe someone they want to confide in, but don't want to scare away)
As a schizophrenic person who is afraid to tell people about my delusions/psychosis cause I’m worried they’re gonna send me to a psych ward (I’ve heard terrible things about those places) I relate way too much to this song (or maybe I’m just projecting idk)
this song sounds so nostalgic to me... I can't say why, maybe it's because of these choirs? they're beatiful and give heavenly-angelic vibes in a creepy way. I think GHOST used a lot of familiar samples in instrumental because it sounds just like old great GHOST songs
I really love that ghosts songs are becoming more heaven like if that makes sense?? The background choir noises I think that's what it called also adds to it!!
Not to comment on the video almost a whole year after it released but I just wanted to say I keep coming back to this song over and over again due to how much it means to me--I've been struggling w/ a lot of paranoia and disconnection from my identity/reality and it gives words to my feelings in a way that's really cathartic; thank you so much for this GHOST!! And it's a fucking banger as well HAHA, I still love how surreal and almost impressionist-esque the art is--I always enjoy seeing the different styles/genres of art you make! It's wicked cool to see your style change and evolve with every song :^)
It’s so weird how this song came out almost 2 years ago and yet I still sing it every time I’m feeling down from the day it released My life is a train wreck and a half and honestly I been there in moments where it all feels like I’m going to just…give in But then I remember this song, and the many other songs you’ve produced and it helps me feel so much more grounded and relaxed, like my convictions can be carried out without issue Really from the bottom of my heart, as someone who has been listening to your music for nearly half a decade and has grown up in solitude with this channel as my comforting light to help me sleep, thank you, thank you so much, I’ll never be able to thank you enough, I don’t think I’ll even ever fully express just how grateful I am
Гоуст, спасибо вам за ваше творчество! В тяжёлые моменты жизни ваши песни спасали меня и поднимали настроение :) В частности этот трек заставляет меня биться в конвульсиях от потрясающих вайбов :D
This is still one of my all time favorite songs. Your unique sound and lyrics always resonates with me so deeply, and I feel so grateful that I'm around at the same time as you to experience your music. While I've not experienced everything you refernece in your songs, as someone whos dealt with life long mental illness Ive never felt more seen. Thank you for creating 💖
and for a serious comment, as someone who also has dissociative identity disorder and has been unpacking very traumatic memories for the past several years that have been blocked off by amnesia barriers, this song hit home pretty hard one of your best works imo, keep up the good work 👍
Oh GHOST your music saved my life and I'm so grateful that it keeps doing exactly the same now. Thank you for your songs, your music, your time, your beautiful being and existence. I love you so much.
It genuinely can't just be me who realized while listening to this that Ghost has come so so far from their first songs.. And whenever I used to think that Ghost wouldn't get any better at music making, they never fail to amaze me, and undoubtedly, everyone over here. Thank you Ghost for this lovely music
I don't have DID or anything like that, but I do struggle with dissociation caused by certain traumas in my life. I have no amnesia, but certain triggers can cause me to basically shut down. For awhile, I had been having nightmares about certain things happening to me that turned out to have happened before I could even remember them, and them being intertwined with a more recent trauma, and it felt like I was having someone else's memories.
this song was the catalyst for me and coming to terms with what had happened to me in my childhood, and i cannot thank you enough for it ghost. thank you for your music throughout the years and i hope that you and everyone else reading this comment can heal and recover.
This song, to me, seems like it's about severe ptsd from child abuse. The "uncanny" spots (as I call them) on kevin's body signify where he was hit. He talks about "the burning shadows of human hands" and how they are "far too much for a single life". He is overwhelmed by it. These memories that feel very real he can't escape. He also talks quite a bit about stuff like "a child sighs and hides". This may be memories of what he did when he was young.
Ghost back again with another banger that will echo in the empty skulls of ours for months til the next song comes out. This song will now be the song that reminds me that I am still unable to choose my favorite ghost song. XD
small theory about this song; TW: CSA/SA - i know it’s confirmed this song is about DID, but are the hands on the body reference to something else? “the burning shadows of human hands are far too much for a single life” I feel like this could be heavily implying or referencing s*xual abuse as a child, the one of the most common cause for DID to and other dissociative identity disorders to develop. also, red hand prints on the body are often used to represent s*xual abuse in artwork or political movements + most of the handprints are on the lower part of the body near the “private areas” just my opinion on what i think this song is about i dunno
When i discovered this channel i got a feeling i wanna make vocaloid songs your work make us happy, your songs are inspiring to make us make songs, animations. And probably more! I love ur songs, i am not born or raised in a English country so idk if i said something good or bad but i really like REALLY love ur songs!!
I'm so used on listening to the mashup with deathbody that the original version of both these songs sound like they're missing something now That's cool
hmmm i dont comment on videos too often and i doubt youll ever see this but your recent tweets have made me revisit this song... the brief period where your art had this vibe was honestly your peak LOL not like im ragging on any of the others though pathy facade is still so good... i feel like the community as a whole gets wrapped up in the UwU Cursed! vibe and its such a shame this song especially got the short end of it. like my other comment, thank you, not only for making your content accessible, but also just... making content. thank you for being an artist. you have inspired so many people
I’m not gonna get too personal in a youtube comment, but this song hits home really hard for me. Especially the lines “The things I see are a dread I must withstand”, “The burning shadows of human hands are far too much for a single life”, and “Should I then believe my dealings? (Hear me out, they’re only feelings)”
GHOST, I don't know if you'll see this, but I wanna thank you. Your songs were pretty much the reason I started singing 3 years ago (I used to sing Appetite of a People Pleaser CONSTANTLY to practice high-notes, now and then I still sing your songs like Reckless Battery Burns and Colorbars n' whatnot) I now can make covers comfortably, feeling my voice is good enough and I find fun in singing - I even post a few of 'em. Thank you for bringing out something that I truly enjoy. Can't wait to cover this awesome song sometime! Been listening to your stuff since 2019, love it all. Hope you're doing well!
It’s so stimmy 💖💕💕 The verses are my favorite bits, the melody is *so* good, as is the instrumental omg. The lyrics and theme are really cool as always too!! Also I can’t believe thus art was done so quickly omfg… Overall just a 10/10, unsurprisingly 👌👌
Is it alright to use this song for an animatic? I'll make sure to give you credit in the description, as well as the animatic itself! That way no one can miss it! Cheers! Kishisune! :D
As someone who deals with OOSD and struggles to feel like a “correct” human sometimes, I honestly have never connected to a song this hard. Feeling confused and unsure by my own feelings and the reactions different parts of me can produce, and having extremely cloudy memories from my childhood. Honestly the instrumental kind of feels a bit disconnected and disjointed sometimes, which is exactly how I feel when things trigger my other aspects (which can be anything, doesn’t have to be bad things). I start to feel unreal and question who I really am and what my past was really like, and I wish I could remember. The act of remembering and having altering temperaments and senses of self gets me all confused and frustrated because I don’t understand or control every part of me. It’s the kind of stuff I never talk about outside of therapy because I just don’t want to have to deal with letting others know that I’m not always the same me, I can be very inconsistent sometimes. Only times I’ve really explained it is when I like switched modes midway in a serious conversation and felt the need to explain things, but that was only with close friends. It’s very cool to find art relating to that part of me! You are such a neat artist, you’re songs just hit different sometimes👌💖
MY THEORY!! TW!! SA A person (perhaps a teenager?) still somewhat young, got SA’d as a child, but it happened frequently causing them to believe the only way they were alive and valid was through things they’d rather not do. They feel as if they can’t escape what happened to them, but also as if their feelings aren’t valid because people keep denying it. Lyrics that support this theory/more theories “Undo the seal, the vague and unreal” could be relating to how they had their childhood taken away from them, but it doesn’t feel real because they were so young / their brain blocked out the trauma “I notice hands around my center” Self explanatory?? “I feel my breath pressed into contact” Perhaps being crushed/squeezed/grabbed? “A child sighs and hides” Maybe it’s the person hiding how they feel because nobody believes them. This is especially common with male SA victims. 1:09-1:22 Perhaps the victim being haunted by their past but having thoughts about it even though they feel they shouldn’t. Another response to SA trauma is hypersxuality (I think, I’m no expert) “Hold my hand even if I cry, I need to feel like I’m human through you” This might be showing how the victim feels their body is their only purpose and again, how they feel alive. They want physical contact, good or bad “I feel, this time, I shouldn’t say it” They want to reach out for help again, but the feel it won’t matter. “Spit it out, forget my feelings” They want to give up because nobody believes them? “Backed against a wall” Could be a direct thought back to their trauma, or the feeling of being stuck. “The burning shadows of human hands are far too much for a single life” The (mental and or physical) scars it left on them, and how overwhelming it is And overall, most of these lyrics point to SA (at least in my opinion) Also, if you look at the placement of the hands near the end, that makes me think it too.
You are right. I also think that something like this was going on. I would like to add some details 3:01 we see the dolls sitting in a quite unusual position (almost suggesting) and their figures look young like a teenager 3:03 we see the “child hiding and crying in a corner” “Banging against a wall” might also be out of desperation and could also mean they have no way out of this. Truly Ghost is very good at both conveying these feelings but also creating the correct environment through powerful music.
As an SA victim I agree this song honestly reminded me how I felt and how I'm still breaking me and along the fact nobody was really on my side when I begged for help
Вау... Это просто✨БОМБА✨ Я совсем не ожидала новую песню так ещё и так скоро, чем обычно. Ghost следи за своим здоровьем! А что по поводу этой песни? Я ее теперь обожаю!!! Когда я заметила рисовку, я даже немного испугалась: "правда ли это Ghost нарисовал?...сильно..."- я имею ввиду то, что твой скил по рисованию и написанию песен заметно улчшился!)(хотя и раньше песни были отличные, впрочем, как и сейчас) При этом, прочитав слова, я немного узнала здесь себя. Возможно, я говорю не то, что считается "правильным" в данной песне. Тем не менее, я пытаюсь скрыть своих чувств, а особенно грусть. Один раз, из-за небольшой ошибки на тренировке, я зарыдала и не понимала почему(в то время я не плакала около года и почти 2). Все смеялись и даже учитель. После этого я ещё больше считаю, что плохие эмоции это плохо и их нужно скрывать.
Знакомая ситуация. Раньше из меня и слезинки не выдавить было, а потом резко начали обостяться негативные реакции и плакать над незначительными событиями или мелочами столо регулярной нормой. Скорее всего у меня это проявилось как побочный симптом депрессии, но если это регулярное состояние, то удерживать свои чувства на поводке одно из худших решений. Лучше поискать ответ в собственном ментальном состоянии или у врачей
@@LunilumSun да, я знаю. Надеюсь что у вас все хорошо. Лично у меня это, наверное, из-за всей начальной школы. По правде сказать, я была ещё той "плаксой"(так меня все называли). Плакала всегда, учителям и другим было все равно. Прошли года, я стала более сдержанной и когда я заметила, что девочки говорят, что "сейчас я лучше чем тогда" и то, что ИМЕННО сейчас я им нравлюсь. [Своим комментарием я не хочу кому-то "жаловаться на свои проблемы", если что]
АОАООАОАООАОА ГОСТ, ТЫ ЛУШИЕ, ЭТО УЖЕ КАКАЯ ПЕСНЯ ЗА ТАКОЙ МАЛЕНЬКИЙ ПРОМЕЖУТОК ВРЕМЕНИ, ТАК МНОГО ПЕСЕН ВЫШЛО ЗА ЭТОТ ГОД, КАК ТЫ ТАК БЫСТРО- Ты же моя зая, люблю тебя♥ Спасибо, что радуешь нас своим творчеством!

New Ghost song the day after my top surgery HELL yes. Perfect vibes for my recovery for some reason.
I love this comment because your pfp being a person with a huge hole through their chest implies that your top surgery was actually akin to cutting a giant hole through your torso with a human cookie cutter
Nice! Hows ur recovery going? How does it feel to have a flat chest without a binder? (Sorry if I'm being nosey lol just curious)

Hey, Ghost, I don't know if you're gonna see this, but I've recently started working on the MV for my first vocaloid song and you literally were THE person who got me into this and inspired me to want to make songs. Everything new from you is so good, and I really love your work! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
It's wonderful! I believe in you, man :3
Good luck with that! Hope you will make something you will enjoy a lot
Woaaa when it comes out ima listen to it!!
Same as you
send me link to mv
for us to watchchc it
this song reminds me of emotional neglect, i think someone else also said the same thing. wanting to express yourself as a kid and receive comfort, only to be denied of it. mom would instead come to you for comfort and embrace. she doesnt do the same for you... she ignored and invalidated you by telling you that HER problems are bigger than yours. youre forced to be the adult, forced to contain your emotions because no one cares, right? but when you grow up and find people who really care, you push them away. my feelings really dont matter, its alright!
relatable..
updated theory after listening for the 728th time:
"attuned inside with context applied" because of how you were treated as a child, you create a mindset where you believe that you need to feel a certain way at certain times. "should i then believe my dealings? spit it out, forget my feelings" you start to lose sight of which feelings are yours, and which feelings are ones people expect you to have.
the dolls/mannequins in the mv also could represent how people are expecting you to behave. emotionless, only there for physical presence. bendable to their wills.
i love breaking down ghost songs
Omg your comment basiacally described my relationship with my parents lmao
Damn this hit me way to hard...
A bit different for me, but SUPER relatable.
That explains why I relate to this song so much-
In addition, the "uncanny all along" part could mean that the singer found out they had a mental issue, or something was mentally wrong with them, and they embrace/accept it as a part of them and possibly stand up for themselves.
This hit WAY too close to home my guy….. come on we’re going to therapy bestie
I love breaking down TO Ghost's songs.
Maybe I'm just projecting, so please forgive me if this comes off as overstepping, but to me this song comes off as realizing you're a system and dealing with the traumatic memories that come with healing and integration. Uncanny, like it's almost real but not quite. I dunno, again I'm probably projecting, but nonetheless this song made us feel less alone.
As a system i agree
What do you mean by system?
@@raycom201 It's someone with DID/OSDD
@@jumpman0198 thanks
could you explain a bit more about how/why you believe this song is about did? im a singlet and i cant really understand this, but i would really like to understand so i can get the most out of this song ^^! im so sorry if this comment is ignorant or rude at all! im just really curious on this take because ive seen it a few times and it seems to be correct
I don’t know if you will see this Ghost but I have schizophrenia and this song really conveys what I feel on a daily basis. I constantly go through fits and have to have people help me and I can’t believe how this song describes my issue so well. I know it’s probably not based around schizophrenia but it feels like it is and I really like that
(4:02) Just noticed that "ON MY OWN" was placed above "THROUGH SOBS, 'I FEEL TOO WRONG'" & beneath "THE THINGS I SEE ARE A DREAD I MUST WITHSTAND" so when "THROUGH SOBS, 'I FEEL TOO WRONG'" disappears, the text reads "THE THINGS I SEE ARE A DREAD I MUST WITHSTAND ON MY OWN". Don't know whether that was intentional or not but it's the little details like this that really enhance the meaning of a song. (Especially because the text that I pointed out aligns with "THROUGH SOBS, 'I FEEL TOO WRONG' ON MY OWN" vocalized in the song.) Incredible work as always.
yup that was intentional!
I had a feeling it was. Thank you for confirming!
@@ghostandpals ghost you do the craziest shit with the smallest and hardest to notice details with your songs and i love it
Hey, GHOST, I'm using a translator and I don't know if I'll read this letter, but I'm a Korean who really likes your songs. I really like your song and I really want to tell you this.

There are many more things I want to tell you, but it got too long, so I'll tell you later. Thank you so much for making a song that comforts me! I would appreciate it if you read this letter.

Maybe I'm just self-projecting, but is this song about flashbacks of CSA? the imagery of handprints, the implications of repeating memories, "a child hides away and cries", the shift between "hold my hand even if I cry" and "go away even if I cry", the general feeling of being less than human because of what happened. The lines "self-spinning lies, unconscious surmise.
I shouldn't pry, a child hides away and cries" absolutely reminds me of not fully knowing what happened (especially in a DID context where you typically forget exact details of trauma) and having to hold back from prying into whats been tucked away for a reason. There's so SO many similarities between these lyrics and my own experience with sexual trauma, especially as a system. It would take hours if I listed every reason and dissected every line.
I was thinking the same thing, the lyrics seem to line up to perfectly. I'm sorry that you had to go through that
"a story told but never gone cold / the cited truth, malleable youth" as a pair of lines really stood out to me through that lens. whether its reliving the memories on your own or having to regurgitate them time and time again to cps and police and the like. and the unshakeable knowledge that youve been taken advantage of and manipulated. Yeah. :(
OMG I THOUGHT THAT TOO!!!!
I ALSO THOUGHT IT WAS CSA AND I CAN'T STOP TAKING IT THAT WAY
I was rhinking the same, but just by the places of the prints
I takes 7 uncanny’s by Ghost featuring Kevin to get to my school while on the bus.
:0 so 35 minutes
Ghost’s songs have become a unit of measurement
I don't comment often, but I wanted to on this song because it's so impactful to me. I have C-PTSD, and this song resonates hard with me. Even just the title "Uncanny" and the cover image were enough to make me know what this song was going to be. The cover image is strikingly similar to something I had drawn myself years ago, when I was struggling and hadn't yet accepted or truly acknowledged my trauma. This song absolutely hits the nail on the head about how it feels to sift through your past and process things. Horribly unreal, uncanny, disconnected from yourself - fleeting feelings or sensations and no whole memories, no certainties. It's hard. Ghost, I hope ya'll are doing okay.
LYRICS
(i write these out because i can)
attuned inside, alluded, denied
i feel my breath pressed into contact
undo the seal, the vague and unreal
i shouldn't pry, a child sighs and hides away
align my eyes, to focus, despise
i notice hands around my center
undo the seal, the vague and unreal
i feel it pry, a child sighs and hides
visions intangible
though small, they echo through the night
memories i've felt before
again and again, ghosts blind my sight
hold my hand even if i cry
i need to feel like i'm human through you
hold on tight till the tears run dry
the things i see are a dread to undo
don't go, i feel too wrong
uncanny all along
attuned inside with context applied
i feel, this time, i shouldn't say it
self-spinning lies, unconscious surmise
i shouldn't pry, a child hides away and cries
enabled thoughts, are they real or not?
a story sold but never gone cold
the cited truth, malleable youth
although i know emotions tell it all
visions intangible
though small, they echo through the night
memories i've felt before
again and again, ghosts blind my sight
should i then believe my dealings? (backed against a wall)
spit it out, forget my feelings
should i then believe my dealings? (backed against a wall)
hear me out, they're only feelings
should i then believe my dealings? (backed against a wall)
attributes to my own doing
should i then believe my dealings? (backed against a wall)
scrape it out, stare at the ceiling
go away even if i cry
the burning shadows of human hands are
far too much for a single life
the things i see are a dread i must withstand
through sobs, "i feel too wrong"
on my own
uncanny all along
uncanny all along
uncanny all along
THANK YOU
YOOO

THE SONG SOUNDS AWESOME!
Obviously idk what this song is about, but I like to personally relate it to my aunt emotionally neglecting me. Especially with how somewhere in the start they’re asking someone to hold them even though they’re crying, but then near the end tell them not to. I would’ve wanted comfort as a kid no matter what I was upset about. But she kept making it seem like my emotions weren’t worth it so now I still struggle with feeling like a burden if I’m upset about something I don’t think is “worthy” of being upset about
I'm sorry that you had to go through it:(
@@kabachochekk aw, thank you. Now that I've recognized what happened I've been getting better at just letting myself feel whatever I'm feeling
@@winter5264 That's great! I'm glad that you're getting better
@@kabachochekk :))
Sorry about that
When the song first came out, it made me feel really uncomfortable and I never understood why. It sounds absolutely amazing but I had this subtle bitter feeling seeping through me whenever I gave it a listen.
Years later I come back to listen and come to the realization I was dissociating (and depersonalizing) on command ever since childhood to cope with reality to the point I forgot too much of myself and what happened. I'm not sure if it was my repressed self feeling uncomfortable or wanting to be noticed listening to this, but you helped me realize so much stuff I never knew I would've been able to think up on my own til now. Thank you.
blue hair and prounce
the artwork reminds me of those videos where someone takes a dremel or something to a jawbreaker or a chunk of dried paint or whatever
This has the feeling of dissecting and recalling your childhood trauma, dealing with flashbacks and being unable to tell “then” from “now.” Even if this wasn’t the intention, it’s helping me. Thank you!
Да, это точно. Даже если мои раны незначительные это очень похоже на мою жизнь.
Ya know, the whole "The things I see are a dread I must withstand on my own" thing, in combination with whole questioning of your own emotions and invalidating them REALLY sounding relatable to a level I enjoy and that hurts me deeply
ghost, you don't know me, but I've been following your art and music from the beginning and always felt an indescribable pull to it. I recently was diagnosed with did and am coming to understand my system (it's so disorienting and stressful!) and now I know why I always connected so deeply to your music. I could instantly tell what you were trying to convey through this song. thank you so much for sharing your perceptions so people like us can be possibly be heard and understood, it means so much to me. your music has also helped me realize I had other mental problems, so I can't thank you enough. forever a fan, wishing you well and hoping you're healing the best you can through your beautiful art, music, and other means 🖤 ~ from a fellow system
I (another system haha) also could instantly tell what this song was trying to convey. came in the comments looking if anyone else picked up on it! thank you for the amazing song GHOST, it hits really close to home

@komarpedir33 Согласна, Кевина и Солярии восхитительный вокал, даже не представляю, какой труд был проделан для такого результата
Так же как и Йохилоид
да, я тоже это заметил)
I do wanna share something,
at 3:15 - 3:44, whenever you hear "BACK AGAINST A WALL." repeat over and over again, the visuals and sound of the sentence itself makes it sound extremely intrusive in a way? The more the phrase is seen the more it looks "dangerous". ex: using the color red and making it more loud and staticy.
Maybe in this period of the song the protagonist is experiencing a flashback that's overall becoming more and more distressing for them overtime. I'm thinking that the repeated mentions of the wall could mean one (or most likely both tbh) of two things;
1) sitting by a wall in that position is a potential trigger for the person, maybe they went to go do that after the trauma happened?
2) they curled up next to the wall *during* the trauma and the thing that caused it (abuser, accident, ext) approached them again there and continued the horrors.
My theory is also supported by the fact that the song overall gets faster and more frantic sounding the more times we hear "backed against a wall"
The static/fuzz in the song (specifically this segment) also adds to it for me because it could also mean a few things
1) the static could mean a growing state of dissociation (for me and others whenever a flashback happens i normally get flung into a strong state of dissociation, same goes for stress aswell)
2) the static could also represent how far our main character is being pushed from reality and into the flashback. This also is more likely because of the lines "should i then believe my dealings" "hear me out they're only feelings". "scrape it out, stare at the ceiling" could also be them attempting to ground themselves back into reality.
3) the static might just also be used as ambience to make these moments seem more frantic/distressed/frantic, i feel this is most likely considering the rest of the visuals.
yes i did just write a theory for 29 seconds in a song, sorry if i made any errors or anything im actually supposed to be working on a serious video project of mine, hehe
i also decided to write about this because these 29 seconds are extremely relatable to me. Its like ghost personally ripped my brain out and scrubbed it into words, GHOST FUCKING CRACKED MY HEAD OPEN LIKE AN EGG AND EMPTIED ITS CONTENT AND MADE AN OMLETTE!!!!
god i've been following your work since like 2015 and absolutely none of your songs fail to be bangers, nor do they fail to come at the exact time i need to hear them 🥺
but man, the lyrics in this one hit especially hard. as someone with c-ptsd and did who's been depressed over traumatic memories all day today, this truly resonates with me and helps me not feel alone. your art is amazing as usual and continues to inspire me. thank you for uploading 💚

sooo for this one i was forced to take some liberties, else i was backed into some syntactic issues. for example, some verbs could either be translated as imperatives or infinitives, and choosing the imperative felt too much like picking a side, see what i mean? lyrics translation is hard, man.
also, “uncanny” doesn’t really have an accurate translation in french. “troublant” is the closest i could find. which sucks, since _it’s the name of the fucken song_
also also, “attuned inside”? *_????_* there are literally so many possible translations for that one, i just went on vibes lmao
anywhomst, enjoy

WE MAKING IT OUTTA FRENCH CLASS WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🔥 jokes aside its amazing good job :D
This song feels like what it's like to go through recovering blocked out memories from trauma and having to deal with your life and behavior be put into an entirely new context.
This song is striking, especially so understanding its story - the shot at 3:06 is gripping in a way that nothing else I've seen quite does. The sudden break into sharp shading and colours, the angle that doesn't feel like it's ABOUT the figure, moreso they just happen to be in it - the way the shadows from the window lean down.... it's HAUNTING. The image gives the idea that the figure is an afterthought, a fly caught in a storm. It's gripping and it caught me so off guard the first time I saw it. This is an amazing song, and its visual story is equally compelling.
I feel like Ghost is going through a Renaissance period, the past few songs have been undeniably some of the best music I've ever heard with really nice twists compared to their usual works. Battery burns was so experimental and a project with friends, but it feels like that and the 2 instrumental songs from a whole ago really opened up something solid. I'm really excited to see what comes up next, especially with this newer experimental style. Also???? This was a speedrun???
being apart of a did system, this song kinda puts into perspective how lonely it is to be in one, how empty it is and how it tears at you. and how the childhood trauma really reflects you ability to love and live. well done!:D
I 100% agree! This really hits that spot for me.
Honestly, I adore this. The emotions- an the way the voice gently trails down on things, such as "Though sobs, I feel too wrong, On my own" and "Uncanny all along"
this is an interesting change for ghost in my opinion. they used to have stationary characters, changing expression and sometimes poses once in a while, with an explosive and very active background. yet, in ghosts more recent works, theyve used more separate drawings of the characters in completely different and just as dynamic poses as before, with somewhat simplistic backgrounds. its like theyre shifting their focus from the backgrounds, to the foregrounds. which in my opinion both are amazing!! this is a great work, sped run or not :) keep it up ghost ily!
as someone with PTSD this song really means a lot to me; and the fact it was made in a DAY!? your work is outstanding to me. I would share my interpretation but im not too good at wording things :,(

holy shit felix honimmer
hi hello i know this song's meaning relates to having dissociative identity disorder, but the part at 3:27 hit hard for me. especially when the lyrics said "Spit it out, forget my feelings / Hear me out, they're only feelings."
i grew up in a pretty religious household. when i first tried coming out i was told no. no because i am god's child and no because i wouldn't harm my loved ones like that. i never understood that because they're only feelings. i just thought a girl was pretty. my mother kept reminding me that god loves me. over and over. if god loved me for who i was, why the hell couldn't he suck it up that i wanted to kiss avril lavigne when i was a kid? why couldn't he accept i just wanted to hold a girl the way my uncle holds my aunt? the thoughts changed to "why can't he" to "why can't you" over time. my mom accepts me sort of now, but still doesn't believe me. i am not gay because i liked dolls when i was younger. i did not fit the stereotype that all sapphics or lesbians fit into the tomboyish category, therefore i am not gay. i am not gay because i wanted to join my towns cheerleading team when i was in middle school, that's what straight girls do. i am not gay because when i saw a lesbian-coded character kiss a girl in a marvel movie i didn't scream and jump up and down with joy in the theater, or cringe at their forwardness. i just smiled. "all people smile at couples," i told her. she replied with, "isn't your kind supposed to be fighting for this sort of stuff? i thought you'd react better."
i still do not understand my mother's disapproval towards the thought of me holding another girls hand. they're only feelings.
I come back to this song so often because it speaks to me in a way i can't entirely explain. ive struggled (and am still struggling) with losing over half of the memories ive ever had, and this song brings that concept to life in a way i have never seen before. I remember listening to this on the bus this past school year and feeling oddly comforted that other people, especially other artists, understand what this feels like. the lyrics are are so heavy and well written, they just hit the nail on the head exactly. i just love this song man, thanks for exploring something that gets overlooked so often. thinking about putting together a dance cover maybe, its just so good
I absolutely love the use of the choir voices as part of the instrumentals, something I truly treasure 💖‼️✨💚‼️✨✨💖
me too!
Who on God's green earth allowed you to be this good at making music????
I am addicted to your songs
This song has helped me cope through so much shit thank you for making a relatable song (this is coming from a system)
Time for lyrics.
*inhales*
- LYRICS -
Attuned inside, alluded, denied
I feel my breath pressed into contact
Undo the seal, the vague and unreal
I shouldn't cry, a child sighs and hides away
Align my eyes, to focus, despise
I notice hands around my center
Undo the seal, the vague and unreal
I feel it pry, a child sighs and hides
Visions intangible
Though small, they echo through the night
Memories I've felt before
Again and again, ghosts blind my sight
HOLD MY HAND EVEN IF I CRY
I NEED TO FEEL LIKE I'M HUMAN THROUGH YOU
HOLD ON TIGHT TILL THE TEARS RUN DRY
THE THINGS I SEE ARE A DREAD TO UNDO
DON'T GO, I FEEL TOO WRONG...
UNCANNY ALL ALONG
Attuned inside, with context applied
I feel this time, I shouldn't say it
Self-spinning lies, unconscious surmise
I shouldn't cry, a child hides away and cries
Enable thoughts, are they real or not?
A story told but never gone cold
The cited truth, malleable youth
Although I know emotions tell it all
Visions intangible
Though small, they echo through the night
Memories I've felt before
Again and again, ghosts blind my sight
Should I then believe my dealings? (BACKED AGAINST A WALL)
Spit it out, forget my feelings
Should I then believe my dealings? (BACKED AGAINST A WALL)
Hear me out, they're only feelings
Should I then believe my dealings? (BACKED AGAINST A WALL)
Attributes to my own doing
Should I then believe my dealings? (BACKED AGAINST A WALL)
Scrape it out, stare at the cieling
GO AWAY EVEN IF I CRY
THE BURNING SHADOWS OF HUMAN HANDS ARE
FAR TOO MUCH FOR A SINGLE LIFE
THE THINGS I SEE ARE A DREAD I MUST WITHSTAND
THROUGH SOBS, "I FEEL TOO WRONG"
ON MY OWN
UNCANNY ALL ALONG
(Uncanny all along...)
(Uncanny all along...)
thank you
It said the lyrics no point for adding lyrics
I tried several times to type up my thoughts on this song, but I haven't been able to phrase it in a way that I'm satisfied with so I'm just gonna give you my stream of consciousness.
The song begins with the narrator sitting with their body spread out. Normally in art this would suggest confidence and domination, but their expression betrays how uncomfortable they feel. This is further contrasted by how the characters on their left and right look straight ahead with neutral expressions indicating how normal and not-out of place they feel. This causes the main character to seem more vulnerable than the others even though they all are nude, and nakedness is often used in art to convey vulnerability.
Another thing that causes this character to seem more vulnerable is the patterns on their body. The repeating layers gives the illusion of depth, as if there are chunks of their body missing. Furthermore these patterns are everywhere and constantly changing. No matter which angle the character is viewed from or how they move their limbs the patterns are always visible and unobscured. This is contrasted by how the doll-like characters are able to protect the most sensitive parts of their bodies by positioning their hands and arms across their torsos, something that humans instinctually do when they feel threatened. Though unlike the main character, they don't always feel a need to protect what's sensitive as seen in the beginning when they stand with their arms at their sides.
The rest of what I'm about to type is pure and utter stream of consciousness. The golden circle around their head like a halo, the dolls turning blue and red on the edges while red represents violation/blood and blue represents both the endlessness of the sky and the opposite of yellow, which is holy. The red hand prints appearing at the same time that the patterns start to cover the character's mouth. The character seeming to disappear intot he background at times. The ending being black and white like the patterns with hints of red and blue like the dolls. It's all really good.
This song is so important to us for so many reasons - but we just need to thank you from the bottom of our heart. This song saved us from a life of utter confusion and fear.
This song actually helped us realize we were a system; that the internal voices that felt so real were, indeed, real beings. Our lapses in memory were not the lifelong side-effects of our core trauma, nor of just PTSD. The ANP (Apparently-Normal-Person) during the time this song came out would listen to this song almost religiously, imagining herself alongside the two 'Voices' that accompanied her. The little and I, who were the only two alters at the time. This song helps ground myself, the alter who is typing this.
I must thank you, truly. I hope you continue to save lives with your music, because you saved ours.
- O
It took me forever to realize this was the same dude from reckless battery burns…. Anyway I love the new song ghost!!
Wait what do u mean?
Is it? To me they look nothing alike...
ITS WHAT
u mean Kevin???
y'all they probably meant kevin not the actual character in the mv
As a person with PTSD, this speaks too much. This is how I struggle everyday ;;
(TW) I'm not sure if anybody else noticed this, but this song kind of sounds like someone's experience with csa. "A child sighs and hides, malleable youth" along with the fact that the character does not wear anything, the handprints, not wanting to be touched, and lastly, the fact that the spiral spots seem to be where things would most... happen. Someone tell me if I'm wrong with this...
I was actually looking for a comment that talked about this. This was the exact same feeling I got from this song.
I’m sorry but what does csa mean?
@@flowercheetah5203 Child S/A
@@marynadasi1745 oh.
And also " I notice hands around my center" could be another lyric that alludes to this.
AUGH every song you you release is an INSTANT banger i cannot wait to listen to this on endless repeat for about 5 days before finally adding this song to my ghost playlist (of which i will be listening to for the next few months)
YOOO OKAY BUT LIKE- THE FACT THAT THIS WAS SPEEDRAN- this was absolutely amazing??!? So good?!?!?!? I really like how you got to create such cool lyrics, music and art in less than three-four days!!!1!1!1! Really impressive and inspiring, I can’t wait to add it to my Spotify playlists:0!!!
Your songs never fail to amaze me!!
I’m not sure if this is what the song is about, but the vibe I got from it was a god who wanted to live among humans, but couldn’t quite get anything right, just slightly off, ‘Uncanny’, and by the end the humans have rejected him and/or discussed him, and if so you captured it all PERFECTLY! the classic choir usually heard is holy places, with the electronic, almost unsettling beat, and the lyrics are genius! I personally love the contrast of ‘Hold my hand, even if I cry’ to ‘Go away, even if I cry’, Like, Just whoa.
As someone who has been struggling with what I believe at times, this struck a chord I needed, I guess. It expresses the feeling I have.
And the fact this took you TWO DAYS AND A HALFFFFFF
you are INSANELY talented!! The music is beautiful, the art is stunning, and it makes me feel better after listening to it.
Thank you so much, GHOST, for everything. Your songs have helped me through so much crap. I hope that whatever hardships you go through are over quickly, and I know you can get through them!
Sorry for the long comment, have a birb! :D 🕊
Disgusted* I can’t spell today
"go back to heaven, asshole"
I have a thing where I imagine characters singing songs/performing them, and when I listened to this, your comment was pretty much exactly what I was imagining! A lonely god trying their best to pretend to be a human and blend in, but never quite getting it right/getting close enough to communicate, but still invoking uncanny valley by accident, and this song kind of being their attempt to verbalise it to themselves (or maybe someone they want to confide in, but don't want to scare away)
I do the same thing!!! It’s cool to meet someone who thinks the same way I do!!!
That's a really unique interpretation. I love the concept!
I love seeing your art style evolve with time. There’s something positively unnerving yet intriguing about the visuals in this song! Amazing!
Its uncanny that you managed to make this in 2 and 1/2 days ino.
Kevin has a really good voice bank AND FINALLY A MALE VOICE PPL ARENT TRYING TO MAKE SUPER HIGH PITCHED
As a schizophrenic person who is afraid to tell people about my delusions/psychosis cause I’m worried they’re gonna send me to a psych ward (I’ve heard terrible things about those places) I relate way too much to this song (or maybe I’m just projecting idk)
this song sounds so nostalgic to me... I can't say why, maybe it's because of these choirs? they're beatiful and give heavenly-angelic vibes in a creepy way. I think GHOST used a lot of familiar samples in instrumental because it sounds just like old great GHOST songs
I really love that ghosts songs are becoming more heaven like if that makes sense?? The background choir noises I think that's what it called also adds to it!!
@Rancholotl yeah that's the word!! The choir singing in the back and all these eerie static sounds and random rough sounds are really cool!! ( ≧∀≦)ノ
Not to comment on the video almost a whole year after it released but I just wanted to say I keep coming back to this song over and over again due to how much it means to me--I've been struggling w/ a lot of paranoia and disconnection from my identity/reality and it gives words to my feelings in a way that's really cathartic; thank you so much for this GHOST!! And it's a fucking banger as well HAHA, I still love how surreal and almost impressionist-esque the art is--I always enjoy seeing the different styles/genres of art you make! It's wicked cool to see your style change and evolve with every song :^)
It’s so weird how this song came out almost 2 years ago and yet I still sing it every time I’m feeling down from the day it released
My life is a train wreck and a half and honestly I been there in moments where it all feels like I’m going to just…give in
But then I remember this song, and the many other songs you’ve produced and it helps me feel so much more grounded and relaxed, like my convictions can be carried out without issue
Really from the bottom of my heart, as someone who has been listening to your music for nearly half a decade and has grown up in solitude with this channel as my comforting light to help me sleep, thank you, thank you so much, I’ll never be able to thank you enough, I don’t think I’ll even ever fully express just how grateful I am
Гоуст, спасибо вам за ваше творчество! В тяжёлые моменты жизни ваши песни спасали меня и поднимали настроение :)

Shoutout to the piece at 0:50 that looks like a painting id see in a modern art museum and take like 30 photos of

This is still one of my all time favorite songs. Your unique sound and lyrics always resonates with me so deeply, and I feel so grateful that I'm around at the same time as you to experience your music. While I've not experienced everything you refernece in your songs, as someone whos dealt with life long mental illness Ive never felt more seen. Thank you for creating 💖
Anyone else hear "be somebody else, be somebody" in the angel-choir-sounding voices?
and for a serious comment, as someone who also has dissociative identity disorder and has been unpacking very traumatic memories for the past several years that have been blocked off by amnesia barriers, this song hit home pretty hard
one of your best works imo, keep up the good work 👍
Oh GHOST your music saved my life and I'm so grateful that it keeps doing exactly the same now. Thank you for your songs, your music, your time, your beautiful being and existence. I love you so much.
Every time a Ghost song comes out I hear it and realize "this will be my hyperfocus till 4 am" and there's nothing I can do to stop it.
It genuinely can't just be me who realized while listening to this that Ghost has come so so far from their first songs.. And whenever I used to think that Ghost wouldn't get any better at music making, they never fail to amaze me, and undoubtedly, everyone over here. Thank you Ghost for this lovely music
I don't have DID or anything like that, but I do struggle with dissociation caused by certain traumas in my life. I have no amnesia, but certain triggers can cause me to basically shut down.
For awhile, I had been having nightmares about certain things happening to me that turned out to have happened before I could even remember them, and them being intertwined with a more recent trauma, and it felt like I was having someone else's memories.
this song was the catalyst for me and coming to terms with what had happened to me in my childhood, and i cannot thank you enough for it ghost. thank you for your music throughout the years and i hope that you and everyone else reading this comment can heal and recover.
This song, to me, seems like it's about severe ptsd from child abuse. The "uncanny" spots (as I call them) on kevin's body signify where he was hit. He talks about "the burning shadows of human hands" and how they are "far too much for a single life". He is overwhelmed by it. These memories that feel very real he can't escape. He also talks quite a bit about stuff like "a child sighs and hides". This may be memories of what he did when he was young.
Ghost back again with another banger that will echo in the empty skulls of ours for months til the next song comes out. This song will now be the song that reminds me that I am still unable to choose my favorite ghost song. XD
small theory about this song; TW: CSA/SA
-
i know it’s confirmed this song is about DID, but are the hands on the body reference to something else? “the burning shadows of human hands are far too much for a single life” I feel like this could be heavily implying or referencing s*xual abuse as a child, the one of the most common cause for DID to and other dissociative identity disorders to develop. also, red hand prints on the body are often used to represent s*xual abuse in artwork or political movements + most of the handprints are on the lower part of the body near the “private areas”
just my opinion on what i think this song is about i dunno
Seems random, but I agree.
Agreeddddd
I was just thinking that when listening to it
i said this once and I'll say it again
this song perfectly portrays how it feels to be a traumatized dissociative system, so thank u.
When i discovered this channel i got a feeling i wanna make vocaloid songs your work make us happy, your songs are inspiring to make us make songs, animations. And probably more! I love ur songs, i am not born or raised in a English country so idk if i said something good or bad but i really like REALLY love ur songs!!
I'm so used on listening to the mashup with deathbody that the original version of both these songs sound like they're missing something now
That's cool
Interestingly enough if you listen to this at 0.75x it still sounds quite lovely. Impressive musical talent Ghost. 👏🏻
I listen to all Ghost songs at .75x speeds
Chattering LoCS becomes almost a normal speed
hmmm i dont comment on videos too often and i doubt youll ever see this but your recent tweets have made me revisit this song... the brief period where your art had this vibe was honestly your peak LOL not like im ragging on any of the others though pathy facade is still so good... i feel like the community as a whole gets wrapped up in the UwU Cursed! vibe and its such a shame this song especially got the short end of it. like my other comment, thank you, not only for making your content accessible, but also just... making content. thank you for being an artist. you have inspired so many people
also happy july from one ill artist to another, and whoever else is wandering youtube! \(^o^)/
thank you for making this song, the meaning of it helps me realize im not alone in my experiences with repressed trauma memories
ur so cool
Ur cooler
hi
So are you! X)
I’m not gonna get too personal in a youtube comment, but this song hits home really hard for me. Especially the lines “The things I see are a dread I must withstand”, “The burning shadows of human hands are far too much for a single life”, and “Should I then believe my dealings? (Hear me out, they’re only feelings)”
GHOST, I don't know if you'll see this, but I wanna thank you.
Your songs were pretty much the reason I started singing 3 years ago (I used to sing Appetite of a People Pleaser CONSTANTLY to practice high-notes, now and then I still sing your songs like Reckless Battery Burns and Colorbars n' whatnot)
I now can make covers comfortably, feeling my voice is good enough and I find fun in singing - I even post a few of 'em.
Thank you for bringing out something that I truly enjoy. Can't wait to cover this awesome song sometime! Been listening to your stuff since 2019, love it all. Hope you're doing well!
I was re-watching this for the infinite time and this part 3:43 came perfectly as the time strikes 12:00AM
It’s so stimmy 💖💕💕 The verses are my favorite bits, the melody is *so* good, as is the instrumental omg. The lyrics and theme are really cool as always too!! Also I can’t believe thus art was done so quickly omfg… Overall just a 10/10, unsurprisingly 👌👌
“i speedran a song”… bro made a masterpiece for fun
Is it alright to use this song for an animatic? I'll make sure to give you credit in the description, as well as the animatic itself! That way no one can miss it!
Cheers! Kishisune! :D
sure that's fine!
As someone who deals with OOSD and struggles to feel like a “correct” human sometimes, I honestly have never connected to a song this hard. Feeling confused and unsure by my own feelings and the reactions different parts of me can produce, and having extremely cloudy memories from my childhood. Honestly the instrumental kind of feels a bit disconnected and disjointed sometimes, which is exactly how I feel when things trigger my other aspects (which can be anything, doesn’t have to be bad things). I start to feel unreal and question who I really am and what my past was really like, and I wish I could remember. The act of remembering and having altering temperaments and senses of self gets me all confused and frustrated because I don’t understand or control every part of me. It’s the kind of stuff I never talk about outside of therapy because I just don’t want to have to deal with letting others know that I’m not always the same me, I can be very inconsistent sometimes. Only times I’ve really explained it is when I like switched modes midway in a serious conversation and felt the need to explain things, but that was only with close friends.
It’s very cool to find art relating to that part of me! You are such a neat artist, you’re songs just hit different sometimes👌💖
"Again and Again Ghosts blind my sight" ..... This explains why Kevin needed so many eyes in End-world Normopathy... It's all Ghost's doing!
MY THEORY!!
TW!! SA
A person (perhaps a teenager?) still somewhat young, got SA’d as a child, but it happened frequently causing them to believe the only way they were alive and valid was through things they’d rather not do.
They feel as if they can’t escape what happened to them, but also as if their feelings aren’t valid because people keep denying it.
Lyrics that support this theory/more theories
“Undo the seal, the vague and unreal” could be relating to how they had their childhood taken away from them, but it doesn’t feel real because they were so young / their brain blocked out the trauma
“I notice hands around my center”
Self explanatory??
“I feel my breath pressed into contact”
Perhaps being crushed/squeezed/grabbed?
“A child sighs and hides”
Maybe it’s the person hiding how they feel because nobody believes them. This is especially common with male SA victims.
1:09-1:22
Perhaps the victim being haunted by their past but having thoughts about it even though they feel they shouldn’t. Another response to SA trauma is hypersxuality (I think, I’m no expert)
“Hold my hand even if I cry, I need to feel like I’m human through you”
This might be showing how the victim feels their body is their only purpose and again, how they feel alive. They want physical contact, good or bad
“I feel, this time, I shouldn’t say it”
They want to reach out for help again, but the feel it won’t matter.
“Spit it out, forget my feelings”
They want to give up because nobody believes them?
“Backed against a wall”
Could be a direct thought back to their trauma, or the feeling of being stuck.
“The burning shadows of human hands are far too much for a single life”
The (mental and or physical) scars it left on them, and how overwhelming it is
And overall, most of these lyrics point to SA (at least in my opinion)
Also, if you look at the placement of the hands near the end, that makes me think it too.
You are right. I also think that something like this was going on. I would like to add some details
3:01 we see the dolls sitting in a quite unusual position (almost suggesting) and their figures look young like a teenager
3:03 we see the “child hiding and crying in a corner”
“Banging against a wall” might also be out of desperation and could also mean they have no way out of this.
Truly Ghost is very good at both conveying these feelings but also creating the correct environment through powerful music.
As an SA victim I agree this song honestly reminded me how I felt and how I'm still breaking me and along the fact nobody was really on my side when I begged for help
@Unconditional that’s what I was thinking too. I personally haven’t gone through SA, but my best wishes are going to you
This song cheered me up after my dad had just sent me a transphobic article right before.
God I’m sorry to hear that
your dad is Absolutely trash. Hope you're better now, and I hope one day you get away from that! I'm nb myself, and I wish you all the best!

LMAO SAME!!! I already listened to the song beforehand, but it took me a sec to realize the song was from GHOST 💀
Вау... Это просто✨БОМБА✨ Я совсем не ожидала новую песню так ещё и так скоро, чем обычно. Ghost следи за своим здоровьем! А что по поводу этой песни? Я ее теперь обожаю!!! Когда я заметила рисовку, я даже немного испугалась: "правда ли это Ghost нарисовал?...сильно..."- я имею ввиду то, что твой скил по рисованию и написанию песен заметно улчшился!)(хотя и раньше песни были отличные, впрочем, как и сейчас)
При этом, прочитав слова, я немного узнала здесь себя. Возможно, я говорю не то, что считается "правильным" в данной песне. Тем не менее, я пытаюсь скрыть своих чувств, а особенно грусть. Один раз, из-за небольшой ошибки на тренировке, я зарыдала и не понимала почему(в то время я не плакала около года и почти 2). Все смеялись и даже учитель. После этого я ещё больше считаю, что плохие эмоции это плохо и их нужно скрывать.
Знакомая ситуация. Раньше из меня и слезинки не выдавить было, а потом резко начали обостяться негативные реакции и плакать над незначительными событиями или мелочами столо регулярной нормой. Скорее всего у меня это проявилось как побочный симптом депрессии, но если это регулярное состояние, то удерживать свои чувства на поводке одно из худших решений. Лучше поискать ответ в собственном ментальном состоянии или у врачей
@@LunilumSun да, я знаю. Надеюсь что у вас все хорошо. Лично у меня это, наверное, из-за всей начальной школы. По правде сказать, я была ещё той "плаксой"(так меня все называли). Плакала всегда, учителям и другим было все равно. Прошли года, я стала более сдержанной и когда я заметила, что девочки говорят, что "сейчас я лучше чем тогда" и то, что ИМЕННО сейчас я им нравлюсь.
