After a few late night studio sessions, Ivan and Stevens realized they had something special. They soon began assembling the musical ensemble that would help make their vision become to reality.
The two visionaries did not have to look far to find Chris “Crispy” Binns of Motograter to handle the precision drumming requirements for the project. Being a seasoned veteran, Crispy brings an infectious drive to the material along with an impeccable meter.
Soon after, the band enlisted, Brett “Wingnut” Davis to take on the electronics, programming and keyboards. Wingnut was a natural choice and immediate fit with his prior experience, musical sense and his use of cutting edge technology.
The final addition was Mike “Mikey” McLaughlin on bass and bass synth detail. Along with his unique use of effects on bass, Mikey also brought his years of touring and business sense to help round out the project.
The band recently completed its first self-titled CD, which was engineered and co-produced by Pete Murray (Lo-Pro/Ultraspank).
“This is the most positive musical experience I have ever been a part of,” says Ivan. ”There is so much excitement about what we are creating. I can’t wait for everyone else to hear this…”
While being influenced by sounds of NINE INCH NAILS, THE CURE, PINK FLOYD, ALICE IN CHAINS, TOOL and MINISTRY, Ghost Machine has managed to paint its own portrait of an electronic emotionally rich landscape while still capturing the edge and raw energy that is heavy rock.

you're such a loaded gun, i wish you'd shoot me
you'd love to live the life, you're such a groupy
you'd love to see me crawl, and dilute me
you show me your scars, ill give you mine
you were always so numb, to me
i'd love to see inside, all your nightmares
i'd love to be the one, in your nightmares
i love to prove you wrong, spit right at you
im such a loaded gun, id love to kill you
id love to kill you.
you show me your scars, ill give you mine
you've always been numb, to me
you are so lost (you are so delicate)
you are so far gone (you are so delicate)
id love to see inside, all your nightmares
id love to be the one, in your nightmares
id love to prove you wrong, spit right at you
im such a loaded gun, id love to kill you
id love to see inside, all your nightmares
id love to be the one, in your nightmares
id love to prove you wrong, spit right at you
im such a loaded gun, id love to kill you
you are so lost
you are so far gone X 2
The lyrics to Ghost Machine's song "Crawl" revolve around the idea of a toxic relationship where one person is constantly seeking to manipulate and dominate the other. The singer in the song acknowledges that the other person wants to use them like a loaded gun and see them crawl, yet they are still drawn to this person and want to be a part of their nightmares.
The opening lines, "You'd love to be the one, the one to use me/you're such a loaded gun, i wish you'd shoot me" suggest that the other person is looking for power and control in the relationship and the singer is compelled by this. The line "you'd love to live the life, you're such a groupie" suggests that the other person is interested in the singer for status and popularity rather than for any genuine connection.
The chorus, where the singer sings "you show me your scars, ill give you mine/you were always so numb, to me" reveals that both parties have their own emotional baggage, deep-seated pain, and trauma. The fact that the other person is numb to the singer indicates that they are unable to empathize and connect with the singer on a deeper emotional level.
Overall, the song depicts a relationship that seems to be based on control, manipulation, and domination where one person always has the upper hand over the other.
