Growing up in Florida, Whitney was originally a guitar player for hardcore and doom metal bands.[3] Whitney moved to Los Angeles, California after starting his career as a rapper eventually finding success in the underground.
Eric Whitney was born 15 April 1991 in Lake Worth, Florida to parents from New York. Whitney grew up in West Palm Beach, Florida. As a teenager, he was in several bands and played the guitar which introduced him to music. He also played football whilst in High School, saying he was practically forced to by his father, who died when Whitney was seventeen.
Whitney was introduced to rap music when he was the guitarist in the hardcore punk band Nemesis and a bandmate introduced him to Memphis rap.
Whitney graduated from university after studying astrophysics and was eventually employed in a position earning $65,000 annually.In 2015, Whitney moved to Los Angeles, California due to his music not thriving in Southern Florida, giving up his employment at the same time. Meeting up with JGRXXN, Whitney joined his collective Schemaposse which included artists such as the now-deceased Lil Peep and Craig Xen.
In April 2016, Schemaposse disbanded leaving Whitney not associated with any group. Whitney eventually began to associate with the popular underground group $uicideboy$ and fellow Florida rapper Pouya. Pouya released the video for "1000 Rounds" with Ghostemane in April 2017.The video quickly went viral and as of May 2018, has nearly 9 million views.
In 2018 Whitney released his 10th album, "N / O / I / S / E" (No One Is Safe from Evil). The album has a very dark and aggressive style and it deals a lot with self-harm, self-mutilation, agoraphobia, and many other issues Ghostemane has dealt with personally. N / O / I / S / E was released by surprise on 10th October 2018, as it was supposed to drop on 17th October of the same year.

GhosteMane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why won't? (Time) slow down!
We all go down (Down, down, down)
We all will drown (Drown, drown)
Fucked up and let down no one to save me now
So alone, so alone face down on the ground
Looked up, saw no light (No light)
Break, fuck, kill!
You will never, never, never be saved!
Break, fuck, kill!
You will never, never, never be saved!
Keeping a gun loaded under my bed 'cause I
Know that one day you'll be swallowing lead
When enough is enough and I'm ready to
Be all up in the Ethereal plane
Break everything you want
Fuck everything that won't (Ah ahh ahh)
Kill the ones that make the laws
Break, fuck, kill!
You will never, never, never be saved!
Break, fuck, kill!
You will never, never, never be saved!
Never be saved!
You will never, never, never be saved!

The opening lines ask why time won't slow down, suggesting a feeling of being overwhelmed and unable to keep up with life's demands. The repetition of "We all go down, we all will drown" emphasizes a bleak sense of inevitability and suggests that the singer feels trapped and hopeless.

They feel alone on the ground, looking up and seeing no light, suggesting a lack of hope or optimism. The line "everybody lied" suggests a sense of betrayal or disappointment with the people around them.
The chorus is both aggressive and nihilistic, with the repeated phrases "Break, fuck, kill" suggesting a desire for destruction and a rejection of established norms or rules. The line "You will never, never, never be saved" drives home the song's theme of hopelessness and suggests that the singer feels beyond redemption or rescue.
Overall, "Drown" is a song that deals with dark themes of isolation, despair, and a desire for destruction. It paints a picture of someone who feels trapped and helpless in the face of life's demands and who has given up hope for a better future.
