Ghostemane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fuckin' with my old bitch
Homegrown, no clone
Ain't fuckin' with my own zone
I'm based, lit, positive, everybody followin'
Your paint chip broke bitch
Hit you with the hollow tip
I ain't shit, took the base hit
You ain't clique, fuck the fake shit
I'm in your face bitch
I'm flawless, I'll fuck her jawless
Pussy demolish
The ballest, I'm on my posh shit
I be too honest
Find me all the way down
Any black clouds following me (following me)
Help me try to find a way out
And I don't know if I'mma fall on my face
(fall on my face) find me all the way down
Any black clouds following me (following me)
Help me try to find a way out
And I don't know if I'mma fall on my face
(fall on my face)
Reppin' the goat, look at me go
Circle around me I'm talkin' to ghosts
Blacken my soul, don't let it show
Ritual sodomy envy a hoe?
Pumpin' the dope, don't let it show
Dead to the body look under they fold?
Blackmage tatted on my face
Now I need a cloak
The lyrics to Ghostemane's song "Palehorse" depict a dark and intense mindset. The opening lines, "Bitch, I'm straight faced, wrist slit / Fuckin' with my old bitch," suggest a sense of emotional detachment and pain. The following lines, "Homegrown, no clone / Ain't fuckin' with my own zone," imply a desire for individuality and a reluctance to conform to societal norms.
The lyrics continue with an assertion of confidence and defiance, with the lines "I'm based, lit, positive, everybody followin' / Your paint chip broke bitch / Hit you with the hollow tip." Here, Ghostemane asserts his self-assuredness, refusing to conform to others' expectations. He also hints at a dark aggression, alluding to violence and destruction.
The chorus of the song expresses a desire for escape and a struggle with self-doubt. The lines "Find me all the way down / Any black clouds following me / Help me try to find a way out" convey a sense of being trapped or burdened by negative thoughts and circumstances. The repeated reference to potentially falling on his face suggests a fear of failure and uncertainty about the future.
In the second verse, Ghostemane addresses themes of identity and the occult. The lines "Reppin' the goat, look at me go / Circle around me I'm talkin' to ghosts" suggest a connection to the occult and a sense of being surrounded by supernatural forces. The references to blackening the soul and ritual sodomy hint at darker practices and a rejection of conventional morality. The mention of "Blackmage" tattooed on his face could represent a persona or symbol associated with his occult beliefs.
Overall, "Palehorse" delves into the complexities of Ghostemane's mindset, combining themes of detachment, aggression, escape, and occult symbolism.
