Please note that from November 2023's Hindsight is 50/50 onwards, Uschenko started using Ghostwoman as the preferred spelling for the project. The albums are now listed on streaming platforms under that slightly altered moniker, which means that most scrobbles will now go to Ghostwoman instead.
Yoko
Ghost Woman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You couldn't find me, I didn't show I took you dancing though
I won't hurt you
Need you
Bleed you
You won't untie your answers though I don't see you
Need you
Breed you
I had you behind, nothing could hit
I took you flowers though
And when I breathe in, present to you I took your answer: no
I won't hurt you
Need you
Bleed you
You won't untie your answers though I don't see you
Need you
Breed you
I won't untie my dances no
These lyrics seem to depict a complex relationship dynamic between the singer and a person referred to as "Yoko." In the first paragraph, it appears that the singer found Yoko hiding or seeking solace behind a closed door. Despite this, the singer took Yoko out dancing, suggesting a desire to bring her into the world and provide some joy or distraction. However, Yoko seems elusive and unable to be found, causing the singer some frustration.
The second paragraph reveals a sense of longing and dependency from the singer towards Yoko. The repeated lines "I won't hurt you, Need you, Bleed you" suggest a combination of emotional attachment and the singer's desire to be connected to Yoko. However, Yoko seems unwilling or unable to share her answers or thoughts with the singer, leading to a sense of confusion and distance between them.
The third paragraph continues to highlight the singer's desire for connection and understanding. They mention having Yoko "behind" but emphasize that nothing could cause harm in that position. The singer expresses their affection by gifting flowers and wanting to be present for Yoko. However, Yoko's response seems to be a rejection, as the singer states, "I took your answer: no." This further emphasizes the disconnect and lack of reciprocity in their relationship.
The fourth paragraph repeats the same theme of longing and dependency but from the perspective of the singer's reluctance to let go of their own desires and dances. By saying, "I won't untie my dances, no," the singer suggests that they are holding on to their own needs and wants, possibly to protect themselves from the rejection or non-responsiveness they have experienced from Yoko. Overall, these lyrics portray a relationship characterized by frustration, longing, and a lack of mutual understanding and communication.

So far the new record seems to be taking a darker direction and tone than the last two. And its great.
@bartengels4996
They told me this next album would be more or less of a stoner album. This one proves they were not lying. Also, they already played this song and Alright, Alright in previous live shows. This album is going to be a killer!
