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 ↴
I burned that black track jacket
That I ate her in
I copped a new one 'cause I
Finally got a little ends
Just leave me 'lone, leave me 'lone
I'm tryin' not to sin
I'm tryin' to find a way up out
I thought about taking my life
On Periscope but thought again
I'm reading shit from kids that tell
Me they just want to quit
You're not alone, not alone
I feel like dying
I'm waking up alone and trying
To find a reason why
To get up out my sheets and
Go on outside and feel daylight
Please tell me why I'm feelin'
This way all the sudden, i was so fine
But what goes up inevitably comes
Down and things divide
You think I worship Satan? Bitch
I am a Thelemite do what thou wilt
No dogma can close my wide open eyes
I'm sick of humankind
I'm always looking at the sky
I know no God is present
But it doesn't hurt to try
(yeah, still spinning)
No love, no life, deep in abyss I kreep
No sleep
'Til I'm motherfuckin' six feet deep
I'ma keep low-key
No love, no life, nevermind, cremate me
Scatter my ashes all over
The Mediterranean Sea
No love, no life, deep in abyss I kreep
No sleep
'Til I'm motherfuckin' six feet deep
I'ma keep low-key
No love, no life, nevermind, cremate me
Scatter my ashes all over
The Mediterranean Sea
The lyrics to Ghostemane Clams Casino's song "Kali Yuga" reflect the nihilistic and existential themes that the duo often explores in their work. The song's tone is melancholic, as the singer muses on his feelings of isolation, despair, and the meaninglessness of life. In the first verse, the rapper talks about a failed relationship and the accompanying emotional turmoil he experiences. He reveals that he burned the jacket that he and his ex-girlfriend shared and that he thought about taking his life on Periscope, which is a live streaming platform. He also mentions that he receives messages from fans who tell him they want to quit, which suggests that he is aware of the impact his music has on his listeners.
The second verse continues the song's theme of despair. The singer talks about the futility of life, how it's impossible to escape the cycle of life and death, and his general distaste for humanity. He also mentions that he practices Thelema, which is a religious and philosophical tradition founded by Aleister Crowley. Thelemites believe that the highest purpose in life is to discover and fulfill one's True Will, which is the divine plan for one's life. The singer seems to be suggesting that he has found a sense of purpose in Thelema, but still struggles with feelings of emptiness and isolation.

Just leave me alone, leave me alone
