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.

Welcome to the end of the rope
Here I am alone, wrote a note? No
Going back, I am the one to atone
Throw them mothafuckers off the life boat
Water fill their lungs till they won't float
Sink to the floor till you can't sink no more (sink to the floor)
What is so wrong with me that I can't get him to tell me the way?
Fuck faith like I'm Biggie Smalls till her walls get swole, I'm an animal a hand up on her mandible
Fuck faith, fuck faith, fuck faith, fuck
I'ma pave my own way then I'll never give a bit of credit to a deity or nobody but me
I know what you're thinking
I know what you're thinking
I know what you're thinking
I know what you're thinking
I know what you're thinking
I know what you're thinking about
I know what you're thinking
I know what you're thinking
I know what you're thinking
I know what you're thinking about
I want you to hate me
I want you to hate me
I want you to hate me half as much as I hate myself
I know what you're thinking
I know what you're thinking
I know what you're thinking
I know what you're thinking about
Hexada, never let up, I'ma get up
Never give up, I'ma make elixir out of shit
I'm hexed and I'll, never let up, I'ma get up
Never give up, I'ma make elixir out of shit
Hexada, never let up, I'ma get up (Fuck faith, fuck faith)
Never give up, I'ma make elixir out of shit (Fuck faith, fuck faith)
I'm hexed and I'll, never let up, I'ma get up (Fuck faith, fuck faith)
Never give up, I'ma... (Fuck faith...)
Do what thou wilt
The lyrics of GhosteMane's "Polaris" begin with a request for forgiveness as the singer approaches the end of their rope. They've been left alone, and they're not looking back. The next lines describe a scene where the singer throws others off a lifeboat, leaving them to drown in the water until they can no longer sink. The singer then questions why God hasn't responded to their cries for guidance and help. They have lost faith in a higher power and are ready to pave their own way in life. The singer knows what others are thinking about them but wants them to hate them as much as they hate themselves.
The chorus talks about Hexada, a belief system that focuses on individualism and self-improvement. The singer will never give up on their quest to make something out of nothing and to rise above their current circumstances. They are determined to make an elixir that will change their fortune forever. They repeat the phrase "fuck faith" several times to reinforce their disbelief in a higher power and their resolve to rely only on themselves.
Overall, "Polaris" is a song about a person who has reached their breaking point and is ready to take control of their life. They are tired of waiting for divine intervention and are ready to create their own destiny, no matter how difficult the journey may be.
