ScapeGoat (feat. Yuma, Stardust, Asterian & Kevin)

Ghost and Pals' song 'ScapeGoat (feat. Yuma, Stardust, Asterian & Kevin)' delves deep into themes of identity, betrayal, and the cyclical nature of vengeance. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who feels demonized and misunderstood, grappling with the weight of their perceived sins and the judgment of others. The opening lines set the tone, revealing a sense of disillusionment and the protagonist's struggle to maintain a facade of normalcy despite feeling condemned.

The song's chorus, with its plea for a 'taste of sovereignty' and a 'lantern in the night,' symbolizes a desperate desire for freedom and clarity amidst the chaos of their emotions. The repeated references to 'existing out of spite' highlight the protagonist's internal conflict and the driving force behind their actions. This sense of spite is further emphasized by the lines 'Now do you hate me? Are you afraid of me? Are you able to feel culpability?' which question the listener's perception and judgment of the protagonist.

As the song progresses, the lyrics explore the protagonist's transformation and their embrace of a darker identity. The imagery of 'chewing up and spitting out your pride' and 'putting your fear in my drink tonight' conveys a sense of empowerment through vengeance. The protagonist's declaration of not wanting to go home and their broken, inhuman heart further illustrate their complete detachment from their former self. The song's haunting refrain, 'All we have is eternity,' serves as a reminder of the endless cycle of pain and retribution that the protagonist is trapped in, unable to escape their past or find redemption.
