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.

Made it past the prologue
The lyrics of "d" by Ghostemane showcase themes of self-destruction, inner turmoil, and grappling with existential pain. Starting with repetitive and ominous chants of "Dread," the song delves into the singer's turbulent emotions and experiences.
The repeated mention of having a noose around their neck represents the metaphorical weight and suffocation they feel from their internal struggles. It symbolizes a desire to escape or end their pain, as if they are constantly on the verge of self-destruction. The lines "But never had a reason to cry / Wake up every other morning with a reason to die" highlight their constant battle with despair and the difficulty they face finding any sense of purpose in life.
The lyrics also touch on the external influence and manipulation the singer has experienced from others. They mention someone taking their soul and feeling too dead inside to show love. The line "Somebody stop this pain in my chest / Never gave into Satan / I'm putting that speculation to rest" suggests their defiance against succumbing to negativity or external forces, emphasizing their desire for control and autonomy.
The chorus reflects a conflicting mix of emotions, as the singer acknowledges feeling something but also expressing indifference and not caring about whether it's love or hate. They assert that they have been turned into something filthy and unfair, and now others must confront the consequences of their actions.
Overall, the lyrics of "d" paint a dark and introspective picture of a troubled individual battling with their self-destructive tendencies, grappling with emotional pain, and asserting their agency in the face of external pressures.

Why won't (Time)
Slow down (Why won't)
Why won't (Time)
Slow... down
We all go down
(Down, down)
We all will drown
(Drown, drown)

Fucked up and let down
No one to save me now
So alone, so alone
Face down on the ground
Looked up, saw no light (No light)
Everybody lied
[Chorus]
Break, fuck, kill
You will never, never, never be saved
Break, fuck, kill
You will never, never, never be saved
[Verse 2]
Keeping a gun loaded under my bed 'cause I know that one day you'll be swallowing lead
When enough is enough and I'm ready to be all up in the Ethereal
Plane
Break everything you want, fuck everything that won't
Kill the ones that make the laws

Break, fuck, kill
You will never, never, never be saved
Break, fuck, kill
You will never, never, never be saved
Never be saved
