keyboard riffing while hook-driven bass lines provide the connective tissue between synthetic drum beats and textures. Walborn creates a sonic environment in which his lyrics can transition from the satirical exaltation of his own ambivalence to more personal themes of heartbreak and mortality. Ghostfeeder's music exemplifies the struggle of the man caught in the machine and, often, finds the line between the two to be blurring.
Oh, Ghostfeeder also rocks. Hard.
Ghostfeeder live is Derek Walborn on vocals, Jeff Butler on drums,
Myka Yott on bass, and Luke Dangler on guitar.

Ghostfeeder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I must have heard it all
Your threats through crocodile tears
Now fall on deafened ears
The violence your love brings
Bleeds into everything I do
Your melodramatic ways
Are turning me into you
So you'd rather die than be alone
The Juliet to my Romeo
Let′s put your money where your mouth is
Let's see how far you'll take this
Been there for everything
Ups and downs and in-betweens
These lines where we used to connect
Found their way around my neck
And now it′s fear I see
Where there was once your pretty face
There′s not much left of me
But you want it anyway
So you'd rather die than be alone
The Juliet to my Romeo
Let′s put your money where your mouth is
Let's see how far you′ll take this
I hope I don't seem cruel
And I hope you figure it out
But I doubt you′d hear my words
If you hadn't put them in my mouth
Your eyes they cut like knives
But I've no more blood to give you
You darken all my light
Here′s hoping I can get through
So you′d rather die than be alone
The Juliet to my Romeo
Let's put your money where your mouth is
Let′s see how far you'll take this
So you′d rather die than be alone
The Juliet to my Romeo
Let's put your money where your mouth is
Let′s see how far you'll take this
(Let's see how far you′ll take this)
Let′s see how far you'll take this
(Let′s see how far you'll take this)
Let′s see how far you'll take this
(Let′s see how far you'll take this)
The lyrics to Ghostfeeder's song "Juliet" discuss a toxic, manipulative relationship that has taken a toll on the singer. The first verse highlights the singer's realization that they have been the one supporting their partner through their falls, while their own struggles and emotions have been ignored. The partner's tears and threats no longer elicit sympathy from the singer, as they have become deafened to their partner's dramas. The second verse reveals that the relationship has become violent, with the partner's love bleeding into everything the singer does. The partner's melodramatic ways have begun to rub off on the singer, who fears that they are becoming just like their manipulative partner.
The chorus reveals the partner's desperation to avoid being alone, even if it means dying to be with the singer. The comparison to Romeo and Juliet highlights the idea that their love is not healthy or sustainable, but rather a doomed tragedy. The bridge expresses the singer's hope that their partner can recognize their toxicity and change, but doubts that they will listen to reason. The partner's actions have worn the singer down, leaving them with no more blood to give. The singer ends by saying they hope they can get through, suggesting that they are trying to move on from this relationship.

There's not much left of me
But you want it anyway
I see fear in you now and I’ve lost myself in the relationship, but you still want me to stay

nice work!
@greenbaydahg
Just wondering, why cut the outro? The outro is brilliant, as it is on the record.
@Ghostfeeder
Evin Paauwe Because for a lyric video it would have lacked in content as there isn’t much more singing to follow. It just gives those who download the song a little bit of a treat! (I’m glad you enjoy it! Thank you!)
@timdetjen8172
