If you thought Syracuse had quietly receded into the annals of straight edge folklore, think again. Young, straight edge bands like Ghost Ship prove that the one time Mecca of the straight edge scene is still thriving with individuals dedicated to positivity and sobriety. Heavy and lyrically uncompromising the band carries the banner that scene forerunners Earth Crisis hoisted nearly two decades ago. Fittingly, the band will include a song written by Earth Crisis frontman Karl Beuchner on their new album, as well as guest vocals by Pauly Meltdown/Blackout Rage. Using their band as a platform to discuss substance addiction, drug war culture, and the importance of commitment, Ghost Ship should be at the forefront of the straight edge scene for years to come.
Enough
GhostXShip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
"Addiction has many forms, and those forms of addiction are not always involved with just drugs and alcohol. This song is about any form of addiction that will cause someone to lose track of themselves and those people around them in a negative manner. This could be in a form of gambling, prostitution, binge eating, watching a large amount of TV, or even playing a large amount of video games. A lot of media will tell us to buy things we don't necessarily need, and we'll buy them anyways to 'fit in' with the rest, further advancing the rich and keeping consumers 'in line' with the rest. ....
Sometimes widely held views can cloud your judgment and your ability to think logically, especially if they are accepted as a positive influence. and not to entirely bash on religion, but sometimes in my opinion religions can be used as the "sole ultimate creator" against those scientific theories that are too complex for our minds to wrap around. Religious views aside, sending your money off to a church to send starving people bibles will not change the fact that the famished will be filled with disease and dying in mammoth proportions. Send your money to starving people for food, medicine, and education instead.....
In essence, this song is about rebelling against anything that can cause you to stop thinking critically, or something that is encouraging you to not think for yourself. If something doesn't seem right to you, you should question it. Find out for yourself. If you think outside of the parameters of what infused characteristics and lines of thinking that may be instilled upon you, you may find happiness. If we focus our efforts, together we can become a support structure and decide the type of people we want to be. Together, we can choose to say no to the way our government, our society, the media, the economy, and the current trends in pop culture tell us to be or act. Together we will stand our ground. We will not be bribed. We've had enough....."
The lyrics to GhostXShip's song "Enough" are a powerful message about standing up to societal pressures and addiction. The song talks about addiction in all forms, not just drugs and alcohol, and encourages listeners to question the norms that society pushes on them. The song also touches on the importance of critical thinking, and how blindly following popular beliefs can be harmful. The message of the song is one of rebellion, of standing up to those who seek to control and manipulate us, and ultimately of finding freedom from the things that hold us back.
The lyrics of "Enough" are particularly powerful because they tap into the frustration and anger that many people feel about the state of the world. The song is not just about addiction, but about a larger sense of disillusionment with society and our place in it. The song is a call to action, urging the listener to reject the status quo and to fight for change. The song is a reminder that we all have the power to make a difference, and that we can choose to be the type of people we want to be.

The best thing about this band is even though I'm not edge, I can relate to the lyrics. SxE Hardcore or just Hardcore, this is truly inspiring music. Respect each other because for some, this family is all they have.
