Think about the distance)
(Between me and the nearest star I
Wish that I could be in)
(I often lay in bed and

(Between me and the nearest star I
Wish that I could be in, I often)

In "Godhead," GhosteMane expresses contemplation of the vastness of the universe and a desire to escape the limitations of his own existence. The repeated lines convey a sense of nostalgia and introspection, as he finds himself laying in bed and pondering the vast distance between himself and the nearest star. This reflection symbolizes his yearning for a different reality and the desire to transcend his current circumstances.
The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the magnitude of the distance and the intensity of his longing. It also reflects a feeling of isolation and insignificance in the grand scheme of the universe. GhosteMane seems to be searching for a deeper meaning and a connection to something beyond himself, as he longs to "be in" the nearest star.
These lyrics can be interpreted as a reflection on existentialism and the human need to find purpose and meaning in life. GhosteMane's introspective thoughts hint at a longing for transcendence and a desire to escape the limitations of the physical world.

I frequently rest in bed and
Think about the distance
Contemplate the vast space
Between me and the nearest star I
Separating myself from the closest star
Wish that I could be in
Desiring to exist within
