Starting out in October 2009, Life As A Ghost was created by former Bela Kiss vocalist Nick Prainito. Nick enlisted members Greg DelGenio (drums) and Nick Viscovich (guitar) to establish the band's foundation, shortly after adding Mike Compitello (guitar) and Dean Chutis (bass). Gears were set in motion. Life As A Ghost made a name for themselves for being a hard-working, pull-no-punches band, built on beautifully chaotic melody, relentless rhythm, and a punishing live show.
Anticipation has been building for their self-produced debut-album, Drifter (Eulogy Recordings). Recorded with renowned engineer, Eliot Geller (Through The Eyes of The Dead, Moving Mountains) and mastered by Mike Kalaijian (Moving Mountains, Bedlight For Blue Eyes), Drifter features the heaviness and melody that Life As A Ghost has become well known for. Upon adding members Evan Cohen (bass), Jerry DeLorenzo (guitar), and Ray Altamura (drums) the band has increased their forward momentum, shooting a self-produced music video for the album's title track. With plans to extensively tour in support for the release of Drifter, Life As A Ghost prepares to bring their frenetic live act across the country. They later released an EP called Perception in 2013. The guys played their farewell show in early 2014, but are still (as of 2022) posting stuff on their Facebook page.

The Creator
Life As A Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Settling where I am
I am disengaging from gravitation
This is me at the end of the world as we know it,
Let us start the evacuation
Sound the alarm!
Dear dead lover I've loved you dearly, the ruse
The mast is down the ship is doomed
The mast is down the ship is doomed
I cant appose that this is where and this is how we are to let go, just let go
So let the water, over flow, just over flow our lungs
We're over this and now we abandon ship
The skin on my teeth is wearing so thin, the bones I own beg for mercy
Just give in
The blood in my veins is boiling over and I cant resist the nothing thats calling your name
So this is it where will I reside.
The hole in the hull is pulling me under
Dear dead lover I've loved you dearly, the ruse
The mast is down the ship is doomed
Dear dead lover I've longed you dearly, the ruse
The mast is down the ship is doomed
The mast is down the ship is doomed
The lyrics of Life As A Ghost's song "The Creator" depict the final moments of a doomed ship, as the singer comes to terms with their inevitable fate. The opening lines "Free of the water, the filth that was the ocean / Settling where I am / I am disengaging from gravitation" suggest that the singer has resigned themselves to their fate and is ready to let go. The chorus, which repeats the lines "Dear dead lover I've loved you dearly, the ruse / The mast is down the ship is doomed", serves as a reminder of the singer's past and the inevitable outcome of their present situation.
The second verse suggests a physical struggle as the singer fights to hold on: "The skin on my teeth is wearing so thin, the bones I own beg for mercy / Just give in / The blood in my veins is boiling over and I can't resist the nothing that's calling your name". However, the final lines "The hole in the hull is pulling me under / The mast is down the ship is doomed" suggest that ultimately, the singer is pulled under and the ship sinks.
Overall, the lyrics of "The Creator" suggest a sense of acceptance and resignation in the face of impending doom. While the singer fights physically and emotionally, they ultimately let go and accept their fate.

Free of the water, the filth that was the ocean
I have escaped the troubles and sorrows of the ocean and found my new place to inhabit
Settling where I am
I have settled down and found my new home
I am disengaging from gravitation
I am detaching myself from the physical world and the laws of gravity
This is me at the end of the world as we know it,
This is the end of my life as I knew it in the physical world
Let us start the evacuation
It is time to move on from this world and start the journey to the next
Sound the alarm!
It is time for everyone to prepare and evacuate
Dear dead lover I've loved you dearly, the ruse
I have been pretending to love someone who is already gone
The mast is down the ship is doomed
The situation is dire and there is no escaping it
I cant appose that this is where and this is how we are to let go, just let go
I cannot deny that this is the way we must let go and move on, we must accept it and let go
So let the water, over flow, just over flow our lungs
It is time to give in to the inevitable fate and let the water consume us
We're over this and now we abandon ship
We're done with this place and it is time to leave
The skin on my teeth is wearing so thin, the bones I own beg for mercy
I am weak and tired, my body cannot take any more
Just give in
It is time to surrender and accept the end
The blood in my veins is boiling over and I cant resist the nothing thats calling your name
I am overcome with emotion and cannot resist the emptiness that is calling your name
So this is it where will I reside.
This is the end, I wonder what will become of me
The hole in the hull is pulling me under
The unavoidable fate is taking hold and pulling me towards the end
The mast is down the ship is doomed
The situation is dire and there is no escaping it
Dear dead lover I've longed you dearly, the ruse
I have been pretending to long for someone who is already gone
The mast is down the ship is doomed
The situation is dire and there is no escaping it

If Ella’s story is true and she was actually being tracked by PBBV and Azil, this is very serious and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
