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.
Trench Coat
GhosteMane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bumpin' DarkThrone out my Audi A4
Pentagram on my shawty torso
Nails on my neck bout blood soaked
I ain't got no heart it's still in Moscow
You must not be flame if you got smoke
Blood so cold, where my trench coat?
Wait until they see what's in my trench coat
Wait until they see what's in my trench coat
Wait until they see what's in my trench coat
Wait until they see what's in my
Ever since i was a fetus I knew that I could be this
reincarnated elated Crowley I'm
misunderstood and I'm proud about it now
I'm rounding up all the calloused and malice and puttin' em
all up in a palace call it the White House no power balance
Let me get another shot at living
and I'll never take it for granted again
I swear to what?
None
Hallway greeted with a gun
How has it come to this everybody run
Police will put you in a wooden box in the ground
if you look at em wrong in the wrong part of town
But a mothafucka with a gun at a campus
blastin' away at the staff and masses you'll let
Live on again
With no regrets
Oh bet
Who the fuck let you paint the land all red
It's all a mess
I'm just a guest
Go blast
Your local press
Kill em all Kill em all
Wait until they see what's in my trench coat
Wait until they see what's in my trench coat
Wait until they see what's in my trench coat
Wait until they see what's in my trench coat
Wait until they see what's in my trench coat
Wait until they see what's in my trench coat
Wait until they see what's in my trench coat
Wait until they see what's in my
The lyrics of Ghostemane's song Trench Coat are filled with unsettling imagery, a reflection of the artist's fascination with the darker side of life. The opening lines depict the singer driving around town with no lights on, a nod to his desire to remain under the radar. He is listening to DarkThrone, an influential Norwegian black metal band known for their intense and often controversial music. The pentagram on his shawty's torso is likely a symbol of their shared rebellion against societal norms. The nails on his neck suggest both pain and pleasure, and perhaps even a willingness to shed blood in the pursuit of his beliefs.
The lyrics take a darker turn as Ghostemane reveals that he has left his heart in Moscow, a city with a history of political and social turmoil. He implies that he has become numb to the world around him, and that anyone who shows signs of weakness will be consumed by the fire that he breathes. The line "You must not be flame if you got smoke" suggests that he sees himself as tougher than those who show fear or vulnerability. His trench coat is a symbol of his power and his willingness to act on his impulses without fear of consequence.
The final lines of the song become even more violent and disturbing, as Ghostemane launches into a tirade against those he sees as oppressors. He threatens to round up all the callous and malicious people and put them in a palace, and he hints that he has plans to take over the White House. He is disillusioned with society and sees violence as the only means of effecting change. The repeated refrain of "Wait until they see what's in my trench coat" is a chilling reminder of the unpredictability of human nature, and the potential for darkness that exists within all of us.
