Pink Mist
Ghostemane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for some way to bleed
Nobody took notice to me when I needed
And now you say you love me
Say you need me for wrong reasons
For the ones that want the world just
Given to them on a plate
No! Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it
I will suffer you will suffer
I'm out of fucking time suck the blood dry
You gave it back to me my will to feel
To the ones that want the world just
Given to them on a plate:
Slit your throat, die in a moat leave me be
You will suffer
The lyrics to Ghostemane's song "Pink Mist" convey a sense of desperation and frustration towards the lack of attention and support the singer received when they needed it the most. The opening lines, "Here I am on my knees, waiting for some way to bleed," depict a vulnerable state where the singer is yearning for a release or a way to cope with their pain. However, they express disappointment in the fact that nobody noticed their struggle when they needed it the most.
The following lines, "And now you say you love me, say you need me for wrong reasons," suggest that someone has suddenly expressed love and need for the singer but with questionable intentions. This may imply that the singer is skeptical of this newfound affection, perhaps due to past experiences of people only being interested in them for the wrong reasons.
The lyrics then shift into a more defiant tone, with the repeated lines, "For the ones that want the world just given to them on a plate, slit your throat, die in a moat, leave me be." This can be interpreted as a rejection of individuals who expect everything handed to them without putting in the necessary effort or understanding the struggles of others. The singer feels a sense of frustration towards these entitled individuals and desires to be left alone.
In the last verse, the lyrics reinforce the theme of suffering, both for the singer and perhaps for those who expect the world to be easily given to them. The narration declares that both parties will suffer, indicating that there are consequences for actions and attitudes.
Overall, "Pink Mist" conveys a mix of emotions, including vulnerability, frustration, and defiance. It explores themes of seeking genuine support, skepticism towards sudden affection, and a rejection of entitlement.
