Aliens Are Ghosts (feat. Travis Barker)

$uicideBoy$' 'Aliens Are Ghosts' delves into themes of alienation, self-destruction, and existential dread. The song opens with vivid imagery of a luxurious yet aimless drive, symbolizing a life without direction. The 'white Benz' and 'rose gold chrome accent' paint a picture of material wealth, but the lack of a destination suggests a deeper sense of purposelessness. The mention of 'burnin' up the ozone' and 'Backwood stay tightly tucked' hints at a lifestyle of excess and escapism, using substances to fill a void.

The lyrics take a darker turn as the narrator describes himself as 'rotten garbage crawlin' out the ditch,' a metaphor for feeling worthless and discarded by society. The imagery of 'bodies in the fridge' and 'blade scraping' evokes a sense of violence and morbidity, reflecting a troubled mind. The reference to 'Yung Christ' and 'poltergeist' adds a layer of spiritual conflict, as if the narrator is haunted by his own demons. The repeated mentions of self-harm and feeling 'stuck in a vice' highlight a struggle with mental health and a sense of entrapment.

The song's title, 'Aliens Are Ghosts,' suggests a feeling of being out of place, as if the narrator is an alien in his own world, invisible and misunderstood like a ghost. This sense of alienation is compounded by the rejection from others, as seen in the line 'Bitch look at me, she said: Yuck, what the fuck?' The song captures the essence of feeling disconnected from life and society, using dark and provocative imagery to convey a deep sense of despair and isolation.
