The Singularity
Ghostemane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I let you pin me against the wall again
Stuck in your grip on my chest
The only pain is when I breathe
As you sink your claws into me
Don't you worry
It only hurts me when I breathe




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ghostemane's song The Singularity express the feeling of being trapped in a toxic relationship. The singer is willingly allowing their partner to control and dominate them, as seen in the lines "I let you pin me against the wall again/Stuck in your grip on my chest." Despite feeling suffocated and in pain, the singer chooses to stay with their partner, shown by the line, "Don't you worry/It only hurts me when I breathe." This implies that the only way the singer could escape the pain is by death.


Furthermore, the use of the metaphor of "claws" adds to the dark and twisted nature of the relationship. It suggests that the singer is being dragged down and ripped apart by their controlling partner. The overall message of the song is that sometimes people, like the singer, become blind to the dangers in their relationship and choose to remain in a harmful situation.

I let you pin me against the wall again
I willingly allow you to overpower me and keep me restrained against the wall


Stuck in your grip on my chest
I feel trapped and suffocated under your grasp on my chest


The only pain is when I breathe
Breathing is the only source of agony that I experience under your control


As you sink your claws into me
You firmly grip and dig your fingers into my flesh, causing physical discomfort


Don't you worry
Do not be concerned or stressed about my wellbeing


It only hurts me when I breathe
The pain that I endure is solely due to my act of breathing, indicating that I am in agony under your hold
