About This Track

Ghostemane and Getter collaborate on 'Grain', a track built on a propulsive beat that marries trap rhythms with occult-tinged synth work. Ghostemane's delivery moves between boasts and confessions, stacking claims of transformation against admissions of persistent emptiness. Wealth and status have arrived, but so has a kind of spiritual exhaustion; money, he insists, means nothing. The song pivots on a central tension. Ghostemane positions himself as someone who has escaped poverty and obscurity, yet finds himself unmoved by the trappings of success. He adopts the persona of a mage, a figure of power and knowledge, but one resigned to an early grave. The lyrics traffic in dark humour and provocation, mixing contempt for critics and hangers-on with a philosophy of cause and effect, of alchemy as a means of survival on the physical plane. It's a track that treats ambition and disillusionment not as opposites but as the same exhausting cycle.

"Grain" is a track by Ghostemane, from the album Dahlia I, released 28th February 2018. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Grain

[Verse]

I'm that mothafuckin mane

With the silver mane

Game changed

Grain, on everything you see my face on I am not the same

I'm that level 11 mage, with no lock on my rage

I wanted to spread the meaning of life so I got it tatted on my

Face

I used to give a fuck about the love I was getting from bitches

Now I only smile when a bitch asphyxiating

I'm deaf to kids who criticize me but have a day job they hate

Bitch, go lay in traffic and wait for something to flatten your fuckin' face

I was broke and sad

Now I'm rich and sad

The discontent I have ain't got no price tag, ayy

Money don't mean shit, fuck all of the racks, ayy

Bitches treat me different now I'm over that, yeah

I never saw a demon till I met a label rep

I'm Blackmage till I die fuck all of the rest, yeah

I fell in love in Prague till I went to Budapest

I'm tryna see the earth then die, fuck retirement, yeah

On the way

To an early grave

Just like everyone I know but we cannot be saved, ayy

I'm the mage

King of sodomy

Open up the portal into Hades, then I'll leave, yeah

Don't you pray

For me, I believe

In a cause and effect universe, give and receive, ayy

Alchemy

Mental alchemy

Is the only way to live on the physical plane
