"Yeah sorry Kate I can't come to hospital to see your baby girl I'm too busy listening to a song about a suicidal housewife who listens to the radio and stitches."
"Oops sorry i cant come, im too busy listening to a song about some guy breaking mirrors and bleeding and becoming this weird crispy killer weirdo thing with multiple arms"
When I listen to this I just picture Macne screaming "YOU KNOW IT'S RUDE TO STARE" "PLEASE SHUT UP YOU MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE" at little kids as she has a mental breakdown
Sooooo ive been a fan of vocaloid and GHOST forevs and now whenever my 6yo sister is in the bathroom for some reason she takes her ipad and blasts this song like its a mf disco, i asked her why and she says “it helps me poop”
I was listening to this with my cat, and he just started staring into the darkness like there was a ghost in the hallway. then the lyric "you know it's rude to stare" came on and my cat just left lmao
Yesss, also the "woah-woah" and "okay" stuff at the start. At some points I think she sounds like a cute version of the robot from portal (I forget the name)
To me it’s about not feeling you fit in and also having problems with sensory overload. Trying to live in society is hard, everyone really does make too much noise lol and I never have any idea what I’m doing or how I’m supposed to perform.
frootjuice I thought it was about the artist feeling freaked out by trying to live up to insanely high expectations and the alien idea of having fans who idolize them. At least I remember that used to be the description or a pinned comment or something. Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong song.
Curly McJensenpants no that makes a lot of sense! I think a lot of ghosts songs are open to multiple interpretations but I never saw the original description so.
One thing i noticed that idk if anyone else did (even though it’s obvious) macne nana’s voice got higher when it said “helium defining voice” since helium makes your voice higher so yeah
Morals of the story: Don't think that people are freaks just because they can do something normal people can't do, don't think that everything in the circus is just faked as in most cases they are risking their lives for your entertainment, only gods can do everything perfect and most people aren't gods if you haven't noticed. That being said, this girl does also deal with some problems like anxiety or something in a way that she probably shouldn't be entertaining a giant crowd of people who are definitely gonna look and be loud, and she also might have something maybe similar to ADHD (the world can definitely be way to loud sometimes, I know from experience), and also she wants people to respect her boundaries maybe a little too much. In other news, I analyze things too much
Top lyrics ever: "I'm not a freak, I'm not a clown, I'm not a deity's performance!" "You know it's rude to stare, this really isn't fair, your helium-defining voice, either way you make to much noise!" "I don't see the correlation. Where's the logic, if there's any?" "I should never be this high above the audience." As you can see they're all from this song 🤸
May have already been said, but here's my take on this song:-. Nana, is "painting a merry smile" to hide the fact that she's not as happy and merry as she appears. She's trying to appease the audience, the people she knows. "My balance lost, the crowd unpleased" referring to her slipping up and showing a glimpse of her true self, causing people to worry. This whole cycle of pretending and putting on an act of represented by the circus, or the show. Towards the end, "I don't think the show is ending" she realizes that this is going to have to be a forever thing. It won't end. "I don't see the point in painting merry smiles to hide my face" she's no longer finding it worth it to hide the fact that shes suffering
I remember Ghost made a kind of statement about what this song meant back when it released. It was about how people treated Ghost like a celebrity because of their music, and it gave them a big spotlight as well as fanatic treatment from people. The song goes on to literally say "I'm normal like everyone else, stop it."
I know this isn't the intent of the song, but some of the lines - and the general aesthetic of the video - remind me of my experiences with sensory overload. Sound overloads me easiest (I can't think around noisy crowds for instance) so the "please shut up you make too much noise!" line resonates with me. And I also relate to "I don't belong in this show" because I'm pretty much an outsider to the general public and I feel out of place in almost every group I've been in. So basically it kind of aligns with folks like me who have high-functioning autism. Not perfectly of course, because that's not the intent, but it works surprisingly well.
i am a "high-functioning" autistic person (but i prefer to say high-masking, because i feel it is more accurate) and this was how i interpreted it too, this is basically my theme song lol. just the pain of everything being so overwhelming, feeling like youre constantly performing, and nobody around you getting it because theyre neurotypical and they dont think twice about things that are insanely hard for you. cant tell you how many people ive wanted to scream "please shut up you make too much noise" at.
I honestly can relate to this song, For many reasons really, 1:I get really overwhelmed when people expect alot of me 2:I dont like people touching my stuff 3:Im really sensitive to things 4: I get annoyed really quickly 5: I often put on a smile just to make people not worry about me 6: Im not a big fan of the spotlight 7: And sometimes I say thing people take too seriously and then me getting sad over it 8: The sentence "Im not a freak, Im not an act, Im not a diety performance" Represents me, since sometimes my own mind tells me that no-one understands me and that im just calling help for attention makes me feel really bad on the inside, (this doesent happen to much, but it does sometimes). Thanks for listening to me talk about my lil problems
Man, that must suck, I’m sorry for you. One thing I can try to help is sometimes sweet things can make me feel better, so when you get really overwhelmed then when you can just go to the shop and buy your favourite sweet. Because you deserve it
tbh this is one of my favorite GHOST songs (first one prolly having to be either Happy Days or Broadcast Illusion), and I just love the aesthetic!! I hope everything goes well in your new song series! It sounds super cool. If it gets scrapped, that's always fine! A lot of us will support you, no matter what you choose to do with your songs and channel ^^ (maybe except deleting it, but you get what I mean maybe)
Wow! This song is super different than any other song that I have ever heard, and it was well written and composed, and I also like the art work. Thanks to my daughter, Caty, I found out about it. Keep up developing your beautiful, and God given talents, Ghost. May God bless you!
Hey, so I know that this isn't what this song is about at all, but I can relate to this song a lot. Throughout my childhood, I've often been treated like some sort of prodigy by my parents or teachers, because I got perfect grades, learned incredibly fast, stuff like that I guess. Actually, that's still an understatement. I was really, really intelligent when I was little. But the older I got, the more all of that left me. I don't have any energy to care about school anymore, I don't even have any hobbies or anything like that. I don't even have friends, to be honest. But everyone still has such high expectations of me. Because I'm so smart, right? I'm such a fuckin' genius, right? Just fuckin' listen to my side of things for once! Going to school, or even anywhere outside of the safety of my room feels like torture to me. Even if I wanted to pay attention to what my teachers were saying, I couldn't do it. My classmates are just so fuckin' loud! I wear earplugs at school, I really try everything to block out their stupid noises, but nothing is ever enough. Dozens of voices talking, laughing, screaming all at once. It feels like my head is about to burst. I've always been like this. Noises, bright lights, literally everything. It's always too much for me. I remember getting yelled at by my mom when I was around 10 and crying at a family event because everything was too much for me. She just told me that "I'm so difficult" and "should just act my age". If this is the price I pay for being a little smarter than most, then I don't fuckin' want it. I just want to be normal. I don't know why I am this way now. I used to be so smart! I understand next to nothing at school, even if I try as hard as I can. It can't just all be gone, right? If I just try a little harder, I'm sure it'll all come back and I'll be a genius again, right? I just hate it all so much. My parents and teachers think I'm a genius who's just too lazy to care about school because she knows it all already anyway, and people my age think I'm a stupid weirdo who can't even hold a conversation. I love the line: "I'm not a freak, I'm not an act, I'm not a deity's performance" so much for this reason. I'm not a freak. I'm used to people my age not even treating me like a person, but like some weird creature. Popular kids would ofter come up to me and treat me like a pet for their own amusement. I still remember how in 6th grade a girl told me that if I wanted people to like me, I should just try not being weird. Thanks a lot, Ellen. I'm not an act. When I was younger, I used to act strange to make others laugh. It worked, but I eventually realized that the people who I thought were my friends didn't think of me as an equal, but again as some weird freak who'll act funny for their entertainment. So of course, nobody cared or even noticed when I became more and more quiet, started skipping school multiple times a month and got sadder and sadder. I'm not a deity's performance. I'm tired of my teachers always having higher expectations of me that of everyone else. Last week, my science teacher came up to me and told me to make sure to study hard for the upcoming exam because he "knows I'm intelligent" and "wouldn't want me to get a grade lower than what I'm capable of" and I just wanted to cry. I don't want to people to treat me like they expect me to be better than others at everything by default. Also I really vibe with the repetition of "Please shut up, you make too much noise" and "I don't belong in this show" at the end because that's basically what's going on in my head 24/7 whenever I'm around people. I kinda just want everything to stop. ok this kinda went off the rails a little bit. I just wanted to talk about how (what I presume is) Golden Child syndrome combined with some other sort of mental fuckyness makes me relate to this song in some ways, and I accidentally wrote a huge paragraph that I should probably show to a psychiatrist instead. I'll probably add to this comment whenever I feel edgy like that so uh yeah bye c'ya
Sounds a bit like what the song is about; imposter syndrome. Golden Child Syndrome tends to have an overlap with that, for obvious reasons. You also seem to have problems with sensory overload, which is a common symptom of things like anxiety disorders, ADHD and/or autism. (Of course, those aren’t the only causes of sensory overload.) Perhaps you should research into those, if you want to improve your situation. Of course, I’d understand if you wouldn’t. What does a random RUclips comment know?
@@overthinkit_ Hey so uh, about that. My parents are currently making me talk to a psychiatrist every few weeks so I can get an official diagnosis for wtf is going on with me. Last time the psychiatrist also gave them a questionnaire to fill out about me and I looked through it today because I'm nosy like that and it literally had written on it that it was criteria for diagnosing autism spectrum disorder. So uhh yeah guess that's something
I completely understand what this comment is talking about. I used to be treated like I was perfect but now I'm being treated like I'm stupid just because I lack that knowledge that I used to have.
Your experience really relates to this song! I hope you're better now, but if you see this I wanna share what I personally think would resolve this (my advice isn't 100% true, so take it if you want): talk to your parents and teachers, tell them off. If they wouldn't listen and claim you're just being difficult, you need to prove to them that you're being serious. Go to a school counselor. Repeat your case over and over again to those denying it. Make them take you to a psychiatrist. If you just wait for it to go away it won't. You need to act on your own well being and do this for yourself ✊
I think this is about how we turn our performers into gods and expect them to act as such, so it becomes impossible for them to properly feed their audience and maintain a both genuine and positive reputation. Eventually this gets to the performer, as being a god is too much pressure and the feel isolated.

Revisiting this song, I’d like to say that I am now an actual clown (like, I’m working on my outfit and have recently bought some grease paint), and I blame this song for my Clown Awakening.

@@OfficialLuni Thank you :D Honestly I'd love to be a whole circus. I recently dyed my hair bright green so I've graduated to beetlejuice/joker kinning anyway lol
Everytime i listen to the part 2:26 i cant help but just imagine Nana being called to walk on the rope above everyone, and when the lyrics "Im not a Freak, Im not an Act, Im not a Deity's Performance." come up, i just think shes walking on the rope and she then falls and possibly dies or just gets hurt and everyones still looking and applauding about it... I have a dark mind.
The lions mouth thing makes me think she could've been bit and fatally injured or at least disabled from it (and the crowd doesn't know and just wants entertainment)
Honestly I thought she was walking on the rope, but then she jumped off by choice to stop the act and almost died, and no-one noticed or heard her screams so they kept applauding
This song kind speaks to me Imposter syndrome is something I feel as someone with depression who feels bad as a waste of space But with anxiety, I don’t like being the center of attention
ok but the "i should never be this high above the audience" it was said she was walking a tight rope, which is usually high, where she doesnt really wanna be. and also she means high as in social status and i'm just like "was this intentional????"
when I heard this song for the first time, it didn’t evoke any special emotions, but then, when I listened to it more and more often, it began to evoke strange feelings in me, (and maybe even apathy). It makes me think about something every time... In general, I like every song of yours! You are the author I listen to most often.
I didn't know you had Impostor Syndrome, but looking back at some of your earlier descriptions/comments, it kind of makes sense to me now. I'm really sorry, that's gotta be really rough at times. One of my favorite voice actors, Matt Mercer, also suffers from Impostor Syndrome. I didn't know what it was a first, but I remember my heart broke a little when I found out. I realize that words won't change anything, but I just want you to know that we who support you and enjoy your content, would never lie to you. We should nerver put people on pedestals or treat them as higher, better beings, that's not fair to them nor to others. But I really do love your work. And I mean that. I don't know if this is something that can be treated, but none the less, I hope you're doing better
this song reminds me of misophonia, especially when it says "please shut up you make too much noise" even though the song has an entirely different meaning either way it is a banger
A woman goes to a doctor. She tells him “Doctor, I’m depressed. Life is harsh, unforgiving, cruel. The doctor lights up. The treatment, after all, is simple. “The great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight,” the doctor says, “Go and see him! That should sort you out.” The Woman bursts into tears. “But doctor,” she says, “I am Pagliacci.”
very random comment but y’know that feeling when you spend forever thinking a song says one thing, then you read the lyrics again a year later and it’s one word off from what you thought? yeah so i’ve been in the corner of my closet for the longest time contemplating all my life decisions all because she says “you know it’s rude to stare” and i thought it was “you all know it’s rude to stare” please help
after being a GHOST fan for more than 9 months, i can officially say that my favourite GHOST song is local clown lady has a mental breakdown and tells you to shut up and not touch things for 0 hours 4 minutes and 14 seconds (HD)

Morals of the story: Don't think that people are freaks just because they can do something normal people can't do, don't think that everything in the circus is just faked as in most cases they are risking their lives for your entertainment, only gods can do everything perfect and most people aren't gods if you haven't noticed. That being said, this girl does also deal with some problems like anxiety or something in a way that she probably shouldn't be entertaining a giant crowd of people who are definitely gonna look and be loud, and she also might have something maybe similar to ADHD (the world can definitely be way to loud sometimes, I know from experience), and also she wants people to respect her boundaries maybe a little too much.

"You know it's rude to stare, this really isn't fair, your helium-defining voice, either way you make to much noise!"
"I don't see the correlation. Where's the logic, if there's any?"
"I should never be this high above the audience."
As you can see they're all from this song 🤸
Isnt it "I'm not an act" instead of "I'm not a clown"?
@@shatteredarling yes
@@unicornyoutube7587 Good to know
The first line.. I like I want someone to clear up the meaning, I think I know the meaning already but i need clarification, cuz I dont trust myself
It’s MY sensory overload, I get to choose the song 🎧
Real.
May have already been said, but here's my take on this song:-.
Nana, is "painting a merry smile" to hide the fact that she's not as happy and merry as she appears. She's trying to appease the audience, the people she knows. "My balance lost, the crowd unpleased" referring to her slipping up and showing a glimpse of her true self, causing people to worry. This whole cycle of pretending and putting on an act of represented by the circus, or the show. Towards the end, "I don't think the show is ending" she realizes that this is going to have to be a forever thing. It won't end. "I don't see the point in painting merry smiles to hide my face" she's no longer finding it worth it to hide the fact that shes suffering
I remember Ghost made a kind of statement about what this song meant back when it released. It was about how people treated Ghost like a celebrity because of their music, and it gave them a big spotlight as well as fanatic treatment from people. The song goes on to literally say "I'm normal like everyone else, stop it."
I know this isn't the intent of the song, but some of the lines - and the general aesthetic of the video - remind me of my experiences with sensory overload. Sound overloads me easiest (I can't think around noisy crowds for instance) so the "please shut up you make too much noise!" line resonates with me. And I also relate to "I don't belong in this show" because I'm pretty much an outsider to the general public and I feel out of place in almost every group I've been in. So basically it kind of aligns with folks like me who have high-functioning autism. Not perfectly of course, because that's not the intent, but it works surprisingly well.
I get that soooooo much
I didn't expect to get called out like this lmao/nm
i am a "high-functioning" autistic person (but i prefer to say high-masking, because i feel it is more accurate) and this was how i interpreted it too, this is basically my theme song lol. just the pain of everything being so overwhelming, feeling like youre constantly performing, and nobody around you getting it because theyre neurotypical and they dont think twice about things that are insanely hard for you. cant tell you how many people ive wanted to scream "please shut up you make too much noise" at.
"Sorry I'm late to class."
"What happened?"
"I was listening to a lesbian clown telling me to shut up."
the fact that nana is signing lesbian in asl is amazing
congrats nana for coming out
i keep reading Macne Nana as Macarena
was blasting this and some kid in my class asked me what i;m listening too
and i simply said "deranged circus music."
When you're having a mental breakdown, but your circus job starts in 1 minute
I honestly can relate to this song,
For many reasons really,
1:I get really overwhelmed when people expect alot of me
2:I dont like people touching my stuff
3:Im really sensitive to things
4: I get annoyed really quickly
5: I often put on a smile just to make people not worry about me
6: Im not a big fan of the spotlight
7: And sometimes I say thing people take too seriously and then me getting sad over it
8: The sentence "Im not a freak, Im not an act, Im not a diety performance" Represents me, since sometimes my own mind tells me that no-one understands me and that im just calling help for attention makes me feel really bad on the inside, (this doesent happen to much, but it does sometimes).
Thanks for listening to me talk about my lil problems
Man, that must suck, I’m sorry for you. One thing I can try to help is sometimes sweet things can make me feel better, so when you get really overwhelmed then when you can just go to the shop and buy your favourite sweet. Because you deserve it
@@alandoyle1077 this was 3 years ago im actually crying :(
ive gotten a lot better and life's been great! have a wonderful day
@@bingmicrobiome thank you :) you’re very polite
as someone with adhd who has really no sense of social norms and suffers from sensory overload a lot this song is a highkey mood
Same here
I get sensory overload due to my autism. I wonder a lot about this song, I like it.
Lelduck hey I have Autism aswell!
I have ADHD, but I'm not sure if I have sensory overload
tbh this is one of my favorite GHOST songs (first one prolly having to be either Happy Days or Broadcast Illusion), and I just love the aesthetic!!
I hope everything goes well in your new song series! It sounds super cool. If it gets scrapped, that's always fine! A lot of us will support you, no matter what you choose to do with your songs and channel ^^
(maybe except deleting it, but you get what I mean maybe)
I've never heard of Macne Nana before, but I really like her voice
Wow! This song is super different than any other song that I have ever heard, and it was well written and composed, and I also like the art work. Thanks to my daughter, Caty, I found out about it. Keep up developing your beautiful, and God given talents, Ghost. May God bless you!
"That wasn't intentional at first, but honestly? Now it is." God I fuckin love Ghost

@@Colarikal Haha yeah
@@nonamiiie woah gae
Hey, so I know that this isn't what this song is about at all, but I can relate to this song a lot.
Throughout my childhood, I've often been treated like some sort of prodigy by my parents or teachers, because I got perfect grades, learned incredibly fast, stuff like that I guess. Actually, that's still an understatement. I was really, really intelligent when I was little.
But the older I got, the more all of that left me. I don't have any energy to care about school anymore, I don't even have any hobbies or anything like that. I don't even have friends, to be honest. But everyone still has such high expectations of me. Because I'm so smart, right? I'm such a fuckin' genius, right? Just fuckin' listen to my side of things for once!
Going to school, or even anywhere outside of the safety of my room feels like torture to me. Even if I wanted to pay attention to what my teachers were saying, I couldn't do it. My classmates are just so fuckin' loud! I wear earplugs at school, I really try everything to block out their stupid noises, but nothing is ever enough. Dozens of voices talking, laughing, screaming all at once. It feels like my head is about to burst. I've always been like this. Noises, bright lights, literally everything. It's always too much for me. I remember getting yelled at by my mom when I was around 10 and crying at a family event because everything was too much for me. She just told me that "I'm so difficult" and "should just act my age". If this is the price I pay for being a little smarter than most, then I don't fuckin' want it. I just want to be normal.
I don't know why I am this way now. I used to be so smart! I understand next to nothing at school, even if I try as hard as I can. It can't just all be gone, right? If I just try a little harder, I'm sure it'll all come back and I'll be a genius again, right?
I just hate it all so much. My parents and teachers think I'm a genius who's just too lazy to care about school because she knows it all already anyway, and people my age think I'm a stupid weirdo who can't even hold a conversation.
I love the line: "I'm not a freak, I'm not an act, I'm not a deity's performance" so much for this reason.
I'm not a freak. I'm used to people my age not even treating me like a person, but like some weird creature. Popular kids would ofter come up to me and treat me like a pet for their own amusement. I still remember how in 6th grade a girl told me that if I wanted people to like me, I should just try not being weird. Thanks a lot, Ellen.
I'm not an act. When I was younger, I used to act strange to make others laugh. It worked, but I eventually realized that the people who I thought were my friends didn't think of me as an equal, but again as some weird freak who'll act funny for their entertainment. So of course, nobody cared or even noticed when I became more and more quiet, started skipping school multiple times a month and got sadder and sadder.
I'm not a deity's performance. I'm tired of my teachers always having higher expectations of me that of everyone else. Last week, my science teacher came up to me and told me to make sure to study hard for the upcoming exam because he "knows I'm intelligent" and "wouldn't want me to get a grade lower than what I'm capable of" and I just wanted to cry. I don't want to people to treat me like they expect me to be better than others at everything by default.
Also I really vibe with the repetition of "Please shut up, you make too much noise" and "I don't belong in this show" at the end because that's basically what's going on in my head 24/7 whenever I'm around people.
I kinda just want everything to stop.
ok this kinda went off the rails a little bit. I just wanted to talk about how (what I presume is) Golden Child syndrome combined with some other sort of mental fuckyness makes me relate to this song in some ways, and I accidentally wrote a huge paragraph that I should probably show to a psychiatrist instead. I'll probably add to this comment whenever I feel edgy like that so uh yeah bye c'ya
Sounds a bit like what the song is about; imposter syndrome. Golden Child Syndrome tends to have an overlap with that, for obvious reasons. You also seem to have problems with sensory overload, which is a common symptom of things like anxiety disorders, ADHD and/or autism. (Of course, those aren’t the only causes of sensory overload.) Perhaps you should research into those, if you want to improve your situation.
Of course, I’d understand if you wouldn’t. What does a random RUclips comment know?
@@overthinkit_ Hey so uh, about that. My parents are currently making me talk to a psychiatrist every few weeks so I can get an official diagnosis for wtf is going on with me. Last time the psychiatrist also gave them a questionnaire to fill out about me and I looked through it today because I'm nosy like that and it literally had written on it that it was criteria for diagnosing autism spectrum disorder. So uhh yeah guess that's something
Hey! Diagnosis is a step towards progress! Now, you’ll be marching towards a future where you can feel happy once more.
I completely understand what this comment is talking about. I used to be treated like I was perfect but now I'm being treated like I'm stupid just because I lack that knowledge that I used to have.
Your experience really relates to this song! I hope you're better now, but if you see this I wanna share what I personally think would resolve this (my advice isn't 100% true, so take it if you want): talk to your parents and teachers, tell them off. If they wouldn't listen and claim you're just being difficult, you need to prove to them that you're being serious. Go to a school counselor. Repeat your case over and over again to those denying it. Make them take you to a psychiatrist. If you just wait for it to go away it won't. You need to act on your own well being and do this for yourself ✊
I think this is about how we turn our performers into gods and expect them to act as such, so it becomes impossible for them to properly feed their audience and maintain a both genuine and positive reputation. Eventually this gets to the performer, as being a god is too much pressure and the feel isolated.
Arrogant Anarchist if you read the description it turns out you’re right
Emmalena Murphy yes!! I always like to try and guess the meaning before doing more research into the genuine intent behind it!
Like Albus Dumbledor.

Speaking of reading quite a few comments, I read almost _every single_ comment here to find the percentage of them are jokes (apart from a few of the replies and some in different languages, I was too tired to translate at this point) and going through about 700 comments, *one hundred and seventy* are joke-posts. Once I found the percentage, I found that around a quarter, *(24.045261669% to be exact)* So yeah, I read almost every single comment in here, so if you've commented before this was made, it's been read. _what am I doing with my life_

At 2:13 there is some random rectangle between the words HELIUM and DEFINING. This also occurs at other points in the video where HELIUM is used.

Just move along, it’s nothing new
No touching this and this or that
Keep your tongue inside your mouth
Don’t say a word, a whisper
Compliments I fear they’re not
Your god is not a silly face
A deity’s performance
Oh, but I’m not like that
Move along, it’s nothing new
No touching this and this or that
Don’t assign my talents
In the wrong category
‘Cross the rope, they mesmerize
My balance lost, the crowd unpleased
A deity’s performance
Oh, but I’m not like that
I don’t see the correlation
Where’s the logic if there’s any?
I don’t see the point in painting
Merry smiles to hide the truth
You know it’s rude to stare
Balloons we fill with air
A helium-defining voice
Either way you make too much noise
Topsy-turvy
Sweetly dreaming
Toss and turning in a
Frantic state of disbelief
The crowd goes wild with applause
Over absolutely nothing
Sing a dance that goes a bit like
“La-ta-da-la-ta-la-ta-ta”
Maybe you’ll understand
I mean, it’s not that hard, you say
Pull the mask up off the clown
You’ll see the window to her soul
Deprecated acts of jest
And telling jokes you take too seriously
I don’t see the correlation
Where’s the logic if there’s any?
I don’t see the point in painting
Merry smiles to hide the truth
You know it’s rude to stare
Balloons we fill with air
A helium-defining voice
Either way you make too much noise
I repeat: you make too much noise
I repeat: you make too much noise
A juggling act of choice
The acrobatic scene
A lion’s open mouth
The leader screams our names
Walk the rope or fall
Adorn the vivid lights
Declare the world is yours
I find it hard not to laugh
I should never be this high above the audience
In all honesty, and I mean every word
I’m not a freak
I’m not an act
I’m not a deity’s performance
I don’t think the show is ending
Everybody’s still applauding
I don’t see the point in painting
Merry smiles on my face
You know it's rude to stare
This really isn’t fair
Your helium-infected voice
PLEASE SHUT UP, YOU MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE
I REPEAT: YOU MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE
OH, I DON’T BELONG IN THIS SHOW
I REPEAT: YOU MAKE TOO MUCH NOISE
OH, I DON’T BELONG IN THIS SHOW

Revisiting this song, I’d like to say that I am now an actual clown (like, I’m working on my outfit and have recently bought some grease paint), and I blame this song for my Clown Awakening. I should’ve recognized that the lesbian clown’s vibe felt Too funky...
Update: I am now wearing clown makeup. GHOST I blame you for this /Lh- (Okay for real, this is the best song for a clown awakening vhsjvdh)
Update 2: I have now worn clown makeup every day this week. GHOST why have you cursed me so- /j

1:37 me when I search a song heard 733845 years ago on Google
Ghost I just want to say you are one of the best composers i've ever heard and you are my main inspiration. :D
“Hey um *insert crushes name* I can’t go to the movies, uhhh, this 13 year old dressed as Beppi the Clown is telling me my reasons to shut up.”
Everytime i listen to the part 2:26 i cant help but just imagine Nana being called to walk on the rope above everyone, and when the lyrics "Im not a Freak, Im not an Act, Im not a Deity's Performance." come up, i just think shes walking on the rope and she then falls and possibly dies or just gets hurt and everyones still looking and applauding about it... I have a dark mind.
your messed up... I like you:)
The lions mouth thing makes me think she could've been bit and fatally injured or at least disabled from it (and the crowd doesn't know and just wants entertainment)
Honestly I thought she was walking on the rope, but then she jumped off by choice to stop the act and almost died, and no-one noticed or heard her screams so they kept applauding
"A helium defining voice" she says, with a helium defining voice
This song kind speaks to me
Imposter syndrome is something I feel as someone with depression who feels bad as a waste of space
But with anxiety, I don’t like being the center of attention
this song is a hard bop that’s just the facts
Im so happy to finally hear a song where Macne nana has good tuning. She actually sounds really good if you tune her right!!!
Every time I listen to this song, I get sad...
When it's over, specifically.
But then I remember there's a replay button.
And all's well once again.

ok but the "i should never be this high above the audience" it was said she was walking a tight rope, which is usually high, where she doesnt really wanna be. and also she means high as in social status and i'm just like "was this intentional????"
Both since the song id about impostor síndrome mixed with being put in a pedestal as a creator of content
Ghost regrets things alot but I'm glad that doesn't stop them from uploading the things they create. I speak in general terms.
when I heard
this song for the first time, it didn’t evoke any special emotions, but then, when I listened to it more and more often, it began to evoke strange feelings in me, (and maybe even apathy). It makes me think about something every time...
In general, I like every song of yours! You are the author I listen to most often.
Ghosts music really shaped me as a person and whether that’s a good or bad thing is yet to be determined
I didn't know you had Impostor Syndrome, but looking back at some of your earlier descriptions/comments, it kind of makes sense to me now. I'm really sorry, that's gotta be really rough at times. One of my favorite voice actors, Matt Mercer, also suffers from Impostor Syndrome. I didn't know what it was a first, but I remember my heart broke a little when I found out. I realize that words won't change anything, but I just want you to know that we who support you and enjoy your content, would never lie to you. We should nerver put people on pedestals or treat them as higher, better beings, that's not fair to them nor to others. But I really do love your work. And I mean that. I don't know if this is something that can be treated, but none the less, I hope you're doing better
Macne Nana sounds so good in this song!

all because she says “you know it’s rude to stare” and i thought it was “you all know it’s rude to stare”
please help
“ A helium defining voice, either way you make too much voice “
I mean most Vocaloids have high voice.
after being a GHOST fan for more than 9 months, i can officially say that my favourite GHOST song is local clown lady has a mental breakdown and tells you to shut up and not touch things for 0 hours 4 minutes and 14 seconds (HD)
its funny how a kid sounding voice can sound so good with a song in which what the song is about is much darker. this is a fine example.
Kids; “Oo!! A pretty clo-!..”
Macne; “SHUT UP THE SOUNDS ARE OVEREATING MY SOUL STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT!!!”
