New Ghost song the day after my top surgery HELL yes. Perfect vibes for my recovery for some reason.
@Moony-Lighty
Hey, Ghost, I don't know if you're gonna see this, but I've recently started working on the MV for my first vocaloid song and you literally were THE person who got me into this and inspired me to want to make songs. Everything new from you is so good, and I really love your work! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
@mireasx
this song reminds me of emotional neglect, i think someone else also said the same thing. wanting to express yourself as a kid and receive comfort, only to be denied of it. mom would instead come to you for comfort and embrace. she doesnt do the same for you... she ignored and invalidated you by telling you that HER problems are bigger than yours. youre forced to be the adult, forced to contain your emotions because no one cares, right? but when you grow up and find people who really care, you push them away. my feelings really dont matter, its alright! relatable.. updated theory after listening for the 728th time: "attuned inside with context applied" because of how you were treated as a child, you create a mindset where you believe that you need to feel a certain way at certain times. "should i then believe my dealings? spit it out, forget my feelings" you start to lose sight of which feelings are yours, and which feelings are ones people expect you to have. the dolls/mannequins in the mv also could represent how people are expecting you to behave. emotionless, only there for physical presence. bendable to their wills. i love breaking down ghost songs <333

I don’t know if you will see this Ghost but I have schizophrenia and this song really conveys what I feel on a daily basis. I constantly go through fits and have to have people help me and I can’t believe how this song describes my issue so well. I know it’s probably not based around schizophrenia but it feels like it is and I really like that

Maybe I'm just projecting, so please forgive me if this comes off as overstepping, but to me this song comes off as realizing you're a system and dealing with the traumatic memories that come with healing and integration. Uncanny, like it's almost real but not quite. I dunno, again I'm probably projecting, but nonetheless this song made us feel less alone.
@jubiIees
(4:02) Just noticed that "ON MY OWN" was placed above "THROUGH SOBS, 'I FEEL TOO WRONG'" & beneath "THE THINGS I SEE ARE A DREAD I MUST WITHSTAND" so when "THROUGH SOBS, 'I FEEL TOO WRONG'" disappears, the text reads "THE THINGS I SEE ARE A DREAD I MUST WITHSTAND ON MY OWN". Don't know whether that was intentional or not but it's the little details like this that really enhance the meaning of a song. (Especially because the text that I pointed out aligns with "THROUGH SOBS, 'I FEEL TOO WRONG' ON MY OWN" vocalized in the song.) Incredible work as always.
@abloodcorpse3318
Ya know, the whole "The things I see are a dread I must withstand on my own" thing, in combination with whole questioning of your own emotions and invalidating them REALLY sounding relatable to a level I enjoy and that hurts me deeply
@vhsdreamland
Maybe I'm just self-projecting, but is this song about flashbacks of CSA? the imagery of handprints, the implications of repeating memories, "a child hides away and cries", the shift between "hold my hand even if I cry" and "go away even if I cry", the general feeling of being less than human because of what happened. The lines "self-spinning lies, unconscious surmise. I shouldn't pry, a child hides away and cries" absolutely reminds me of not fully knowing what happened (especially in a DID context where you typically forget exact details of trauma) and having to hold back from prying into whats been tucked away for a reason. There's so SO many similarities between these lyrics and my own experience with sexual trauma, especially as a system. It would take hours if I listed every reason and dissected every line.

Hey, GHOST, I'm using a translator and I don't know if I'll read this letter, but I'm a Korean who really likes your songs. I really like your song and I really want to tell you this. I feel really happy when I hear your unique character and unique song that I fell in love with from the first time. These days, my body and mind are not very good. I love your song so much and I want to learn English that I didn't care about thanks to you. My sick body is getting better. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful song and art. There are many more things I want to tell you, but it got too long, so I'll tell you later. Thank you so much for making a song that comforts me! I would appreciate it if you read this letter.
@KARAKUREN
I don't comment often, but I wanted to on this song because it's so impactful to me. I have C-PTSD, and this song resonates hard with me. Even just the title "Uncanny" and the cover image were enough to make me know what this song was going to be. The cover image is strikingly similar to something I had drawn myself years ago, when I was struggling and hadn't yet accepted or truly acknowledged my trauma. This song absolutely hits the nail on the head about how it feels to sift through your past and process things. Horribly unreal, uncanny, disconnected from yourself - fleeting feelings or sensations and no whole memories, no certainties. It's hard. Ghost, I hope ya'll are doing okay.
@seorinnoire
NEW GHOST SONG?? okay first, SLOW DOWN ITS BEEN 3 MONTHS SINCE RECKLESS BATTERY BURNS ONLY. THIS WAS MADE SO QUICK BUT SO GOOD second, THE ART HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH?? third, new fav song?
@firstcanonkill1767
This has the feeling of dissecting and recalling your childhood trauma, dealing with flashbacks and being unable to tell “then” from “now.” Even if this wasn’t the intention, it’s helping me. Thank you!
@sootish
LYRICS (i write these out because i can) attuned inside, alluded, denied i feel my breath pressed into contact undo the seal, the vague and unreal i shouldn't pry, a child sighs and hides away align my eyes, to focus, despise i notice hands around my center undo the seal, the vague and unreal i feel it pry, a child sighs and hides visions intangible though small, they echo through the night memories i've felt before again and again, ghosts blind my sight hold my hand even if i cry i need to feel like i'm human through you hold on tight till the tears run dry the things i see are a dread to undo don't go, i feel too wrong uncanny all along attuned inside with context applied i feel, this time, i shouldn't say it self-spinning lies, unconscious surmise i shouldn't pry, a child hides away and cries enabled thoughts, are they real or not? a story sold but never gone cold the cited truth, malleable youth although i know emotions tell it all visions intangible though small, they echo through the night memories i've felt before again and again, ghosts blind my sight should i then believe my dealings? (backed against a wall) spit it out, forget my feelings should i then believe my dealings? (backed against a wall) hear me out, they're only feelings should i then believe my dealings? (backed against a wall) attributes to my own doing should i then believe my dealings? (backed against a wall) scrape it out, stare at the ceiling go away even if i cry the burning shadows of human hands are far too much for a single life the things i see are a dread i must withstand through sobs, "i feel too wrong" on my own uncanny all along uncanny all along uncanny all along
@ineedabetterusername4803
This song feels like what it's like to go through recovering blocked out memories from trauma and having to deal with your life and behavior be put into an entirely new context.
@aierie-dragonslayer
the artwork reminds me of those videos where someone takes a dremel or something to a jawbreaker or a chunk of dried paint or whatever
@winter5264
THE SONG SOUNDS AWESOME! Obviously idk what this song is about, but I like to personally relate it to my aunt emotionally neglecting me. Especially with how somewhere in the start they’re asking someone to hold them even though they’re crying, but then near the end tell them not to. I would’ve wanted comfort as a kid no matter what I was upset about. But she kept making it seem like my emotions weren’t worth it so now I still struggle with feeling like a burden if I’m upset about something I don’t think is “worthy” of being upset about
@imdead1236
When the song first came out, it made me feel really uncomfortable and I never understood why. It sounds absolutely amazing but I had this subtle bitter feeling seeping through me whenever I gave it a listen. Years later I come back to listen and come to the realization I was dissociating (and depersonalizing) on command ever since childhood to cope with reality to the point I forgot too much of myself and what happened. I'm not sure if it was my repressed self feeling uncomfortable or wanting to be noticed listening to this, but you helped me realize so much stuff I never knew I would've been able to think up on my own til now. Thank you.
@livingforamillenium
I do wanna share something, at 3:15 - 3:44, whenever you hear "BACK AGAINST A WALL." repeat over and over again, the visuals and sound of the sentence itself makes it sound extremely intrusive in a way? The more the phrase is seen the more it looks "dangerous". ex: using the color red and making it more loud and staticy. Maybe in this period of the song the protagonist is experiencing a flashback that's overall becoming more and more distressing for them overtime. I'm thinking that the repeated mentions of the wall could mean one (or most likely both tbh) of two things; 1) sitting by a wall in that position is a potential trigger for the person, maybe they went to go do that after the trauma happened? 2) they curled up next to the wall during the trauma and the thing that caused it (abuser, accident, ext) approached them again there and continued the horrors. My theory is also supported by the fact that the song overall gets faster and more frantic sounding the more times we hear "backed against a wall" The static/fuzz in the song (specifically this segment) also adds to it for me because it could also mean a few things 1) the static could mean a growing state of dissociation (for me and others whenever a flashback happens i normally get flung into a strong state of dissociation, same goes for stress aswell) 2) the static could also represent how far our main character is being pushed from reality and into the flashback. This also is more likely because of the lines "should i then believe my dealings" "hear me out they're only feelings". "scrape it out, stare at the ceiling" could also be them attempting to ground themselves back into reality. 3) the static might just also be used as ambience to make these moments seem more frantic/distressed/frantic, i feel this is most likely considering the rest of the visuals. yes i did just write a theory for 29 seconds in a song, sorry if i made any errors or anything im actually supposed to be working on a serious video project of mine, hehe
