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.
As Above So Look Out Below
Ghostemane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got 7 daemons on the way to take me to Greece
So I can summon osiris and make him battle posiden and when they both gone I still won't have a god to confide in
I'm trippin on shrooms a vacation
I'm lickin on Lucy escaping
All of my daily misfortunes
And I know that I'm the creator
I get so fucked in my brain
Anything that crosses my mind
Without it coming out the wrong way
Lately im feelin a little okay
Top of the mountain I'm fuckin her face
Moment I cum now I beleive in fate
Still wanna die but not today
I don't wanna be another mothafucka wit no way to see the good in things
I smile every time I bleed yung cobaine
I'm gloin up going up jump comin up
If I don't kill myself before I see a million bucks
I'm boutta jump jump jump down a water fall
Inhale the lake
Sweet death come upon me
The song "As Above so Look out Below" by Ghostemane is a song about the chaos that resides within the artist's mind. The opening lyrics 'slidin 'round the city with the mark of the beast' illustrates the feeling of being possessed by something that makes him feel like he is standing out in society. He talks about how he has seven demons on the way to take him to Greece so he can summon Osiris and make him battle Poseidon. This battle shows his struggles in life that he finds hard to identify and is constantly battling for the right answer.
He also includes the fact that despite summoning and battling Gods, he still won't have anyone to confide in. The lyrics 'I'm trippin on shrooms a vacation, I'm lickin on Lucy escaping' refers to his use of psychedelic drugs to help soothe his mind and escape from the stresses of daily life. The struggle he has in coping with his thoughts is captured in the line 'I get so fucked in my brain that I don't know how I can say anything that crosses my mind without it coming out the wrong way.'
The artist then talks about how he feels a little okay lately and about being on top of the mountain, about making love in the heat of the moment and his belief in fate. The line 'I smile every time I bleed yung cobaine' is a play on words, with the artist comparing himself to the drug "yung cobaine" as a way of saying he's become someone who's truly addicted to his ways of self-harm, yet still continues to enjoy the pain. Finally, he sings 'Sweet death come upon me', a line that discusses his fatalistic and suicidal thoughts.

The consciousness below thee is ever-expanding
in different ways from those known to thee.
Aye, it, though in space-time below thee,
is ever growing in ways that are different from
those that were part of the ways of thine own.
For know that it grows as a result of thy growth
but not in the same way that thou didst grow.
The growth that thou had and have in the present
have brought into being a cause and effect.
No consciousness follows the path of those before it,
else all would be repetition and vain.
Each consciousness in the cycle it exists in
follows its own path to the ultimate goal.
Each plays its part in the Plan of the Cosmos.
Each plays its part in the ultimate end.
The farther the cycle, the greater its
knowledge and ability to blend the Law of the whole
