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.
Vagabond
GhosteMane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Left me for dead, now I've been a wreck
And momma told me daddy ain't gonna be back
And she told me I'm the man now, I guess I'm the man now
Think I need a plan now, uh (Ah)
Must of been nothing but a jit
Buck teeth, cut like a bowl so that you know
I never wanna go back down
Update, I felt great for a minute straight
Call my shrink and tell him I made a mistake
If only I could delete all the pain
And upload all the things I wanted to be
(Bled) from my lip bit down on it
Feel the pain and a taste so metallic
Soulless, I learned to live without it
But I'ma make if out of this so count on it
It all started when I
It all started when I
It all started when I
It all started when I
Cut the black blood from your tongue like Lavinia
No more lies no, not a one, I wasn't your favorite son
If I could only forget, if I could only delete
If only, if only I could delete my memory
I still would not upload everything you wanted me to be
No truly, I'm happy you're deceased
I don't want nothing
I want everything, I want everything, I want everything
You left me for dead
All that died was my innocence
It all started when you
Left me for dead now I've been a wreck and
Momma told me daddy won't be coming back
Bled from my lip, bit down on it
Feel the pain and a taste so metallic
The lyrics to "Vagabond" by Ghostemane describe the singer's journey from being left for dead by someone who was important to him, presumably a lover, to becoming the man he is today. The song begins by reminiscing about the effect that the abandonment had on him, leaving him a "wreck" and forced to take on the role of "the man" in his family, with no real plan in sight. He expresses a desire to "delete all the pain" and become the person he wants to be, but acknowledges the metallic taste of the pain he feels in his mouth.
As the song progresses, he takes on a more confrontational tone, cutting through the lies of the person who left him and refusing to be the person that they wanted him to be. He expresses satisfaction with their demise, declaring that he wants both everything and nothing at the same time. He concludes by reinforcing that all of this began when he was left for dead and that the pain he feels is a constant reminder of the past, but that he is able to live without it and will eventually make it out.
The lyrics of "Vagabond" convey a clear sense of pain and loss, but also a resilience and a determination to keep moving forward. The imagery used is often quite visceral, with references to blood and pain, but this serves to reinforce the emotional intensity of the song. The structure of the lyrics, with repeated lines and refrains, gives the song a cyclical and almost hypnotic quality and emphasises the singer's sense of being caught in a cycle of memories and emotions.
