So at the time of writing this it hasn't premiered yet but the bucket with pills is totally giving the same energy as that one children's book where people have happy buckets and there's these bullies with spoons and they fill their happy buckets by spooning out happiness from others buckets.
@@SpaceTempestno the point of that part is that when bullies spoon happiness out of other kids buckets it won’t go into their own buckets no matter how hard they try, so it just makes them both unhappy in the end
I'm obsessed with the scenes where she's upset or hurting, cause it's all hiding behind the bright colors and her happy expression! That's the real facade 🤝
For those who are wondering: Aripiprazole is a medication used to manage and treat schizophrenia, mania associated with bipolar I disorder, irritability associated with an autism spectrum disorder, disjunctive therapy in major depressive disorder, and Tourette syndrome. It is a second-generation antipsychotic medication.
Antipsychotics are also frequently used to treat difficult to treat pain conditions like chronic migraine and fibromyalgia. It’s not their intended usage, but they are used for this.
I have once again fallen prey to the GHOST song formula: 1. I listen to the song and I think it's alright but kinda weird 2. I listen to it again 3. I listen to it about a dozen more times without realizing 4. I turn into a freaky little goblin whenever I hear the song This happens every time what do I do
God SAME. Like, at first I'm like "meh, the song is ok" But then I keep listening to it and it becomes an obsession and they become my new favorite song. It happened with deathbody big time
The line "The Tower's gonna fall and you silently rebuild it all" is one of my favorite saddest lines here that I think goes overlooked a lot. If we take 'The Tower' with it's tarot meaning, this line is like saying your life will fall apart while you keep up a smile with everyone else and don't let anyone help you, silently rebuilding it all while pretending to others everything is okay...
Oh, that makes a lot more sense! I thought it was a reference to the Tower of Babel - an effort to do something great thwarted as you're left scrambling to recollect your lost knowledge, humiliated by your failure. Eventually trying again only for the cycle to be perpetuated, so much to the point where you preemptively expect all you do to fail, though I can't think of any reason to keep trying then, so that interpretation falls apart (lol). I like your version more! :)
"Go on, praise me like a god." I love this line. This entire song is amazing! And especially at the end, it makes it seem like she is just asking anyone to "Please see me." It reminds me of gifted kid burnout.
(warning, lots of text ahead) Even if Ghost wasn't focusing on the meaning of the lyrics of this song too hard, I still think there are a lot of interesting themes that can be drawn between the lyrics and the PV. I'd say the biggest thing that I think is running through this song is the concerning pairing of medicine (specifically psychiatry) and random chance, possibly alluding to medical malpractice or debates surrounding the legitimacy/ethics of psychiatry as a practice. Despite Teto being portrayed as a genius ("a miracle // something theoretical") and somebody worth praising "like a god", there is also frequent use of uncertain language or terms relating to chaos or chance. Phrases like "I guess", "I reckon", or, more literally "God-knows-where", "Flip a coin" and "Who will I become?" might be used to suggest the singer doubts themself in their choices or to suggest that, regardless of their confidence, it isn't earnt confidence and they are not as knowledgable as they seem. Knowledge as something questionable or illegitimate can also be seen in the coloured symbols that pop up a few times throughout the PV. They're being taught on a whiteboard, and Teto has distinct reactions to each one, to the point of censoring the orange-yellow symbol completely, but they don't have an obvious meaning, possibly referencing how subjective or dubious information is being passed off as fact in the practice. I think it was a really interesting choice to use a dartboard in the PV; it clearly carries on with the theme of chance and uncertainty, with Teto literally being pinned to the board and pierced through the chest in her chair. It makes me think of how medical practitioners can never be 100% accurate - they have to diagnose, prescribe, and hope for the best. The danger factor of darts is shown very clearly, but the practitioners are portrayed as both the perpetrator and the victim. They throw darts figuratively speaking when they prescribe medication, hoping they won't cause too much harm. However, in a very self-centered way, the person who gets hit is Teto in a chair (a chair that reminds me of stereotypical "sit back and tell me about how you're feeling" psychotherapy, but that could just be me), possibly because 'missing' so to speak also hurts the doctor because their prestige and legitimacy are seen as just as important as the safety of their patients. The line that made me start putting all of this together was "The Tower's gonna fall and you'll silently rebuild it all". The "Tower" is capitalised, suggesting it's talking about the tarot card The Tower, which represents (surprise surprise) sudden change and chaos, possibly stemming from higher knowledge or understanding. Therefore, you could interpret the line as meaning "Change is going to occur (The Tower is gonna fall, as depicted in the tarot card) and you are going to endure it silently for the best, because I think it is for the best", possibly in reference to changes brought on by a change in prescription, which would be in line with Teto *literally shoveling random pills down people's throats* in the PV. Towards the end of the PV, a different side to Teto is hinted at, where her heart is pulled out of her chest behind the random symbols that she has, literally speaking, internalised. The conflict between the symbols representing information that may be meaningless or just debatable and the emotional symbol of the heart reads to me like she has been working off pure facts and logic in place of where her heart should be (again, literally), and she realises, with her heart in her hand, that she's become heartless, or that her practice has been neglecting the subjective, emotional side of things. All of this occurs with the 'normal' scenes for the chorus imposed over her, suggesting that this debate is occurring in the background, failing to make a difference in her behaviour, until it disappears completely, replaced by repetitions of "Go on, praise me like a god", with her standing, then collapsing, on a pedestal, surrounded by clones that worship her. Overall, I think Teto is characterised in a fairly classic anti-hero fashion; she wants to help people, to be a "miracle", but the method that she chooses gives ambiguous results at best until she steps back and realises that she's lost her way, but can't stop and turn back - not only that, but she has made an impact, changed the field of study entirely, and not in a way that she likes. I don't want to jump to any conclusions on what exactly the song is criticising; it reads to me like a scathing parody of the psychiatric practice, but it could also be in reference to a specific, hypothetical psychiatrist and this is simply a dramatic narrative, or it could be applied to a wider field entirely. Regardless, Teto's tragic career progression is best summarised as "A psychedelic lie... a line between the villains and the rest."
Great analysis! I completely agree with it and, even if the creator said that the lyrics don't make much sense, that was the message I was getting, but I didn't have the words to put it, this comment made things a lot clearer
Its a bit of a small detail but i like how at 2:45 when shes on the dartboard shes positioned so that her neck is over the 20 triple ring so to get the maximun points in a single turn youd have to decapitate her Not sure if that means much in the actual story but its cool nonetheless
Thy rhythm on this is so fascinating!! It's like the whole structure is built around the idea of a record skip-- it creates a super disorienting feeling on a first listen, like you're constantly falling behind and scrambling to keep up with the tune... Amazing work!! This is absolutely going to haunt my rewatch/relistens for the next month vdhsavdjak
I might be projecting a bit here, but this song makes me think of someone who was constantly praised, and therefore they felt the need to be perfect all the time to live up to that praise, hence the lyrics "A couple years ago I was told that I would be a miracle." As well as someone who let their parents decide their life for them. Here's my theory explained a bit more: At 0:42 it shows Teto seemingly showing other versions of themself ideas that they drew on a drawing board, I think that this is meant to represent Teto thinking of brilliant ideas, but Teto always becoming too anxious of the ideas not being good enough to actually execute said ideas, hence the other Tetos shaking their head at every one of Tetos ideas until eventually Teto just gives up because nothing is ever good enough for themself. This could also represent how Teto may have wanted to work some other job, but their family members pressured them into becoming a Pharmacist instead. I think that because of the constant praise Teto heard, they may have occasionally have an inflated ego, hence the lyrics "Go on, praise me like a god!" possibly representing how since Teto gave into their parents' demands for them to become a doctor/pharmacist, their parents praised them "Like a god." The lyrics "No matter what I say, it's confusing either way" can also represent how Teto may have attempted to communicate with their parents on how they didn't want to be a pharmacist and wanted to be something else, but how their parents wouldn't understand. As for the lyrics "Stars always watching from afar, turning who you are" can represent Teto feeling like their parents are always watching from afar, judging their every move, further making them feel like they have to be perfect 24/7. I think that the lyrics that follow, "In the end, it left me delicately scarred beyond pathological facade" further back up my idea. I could go on and on about all the symbolism that I see in this, but I'll try and keep this theory short and sweet, so I just have one last point to make: At 4:08 We see Teto standing in front of a lot of versions of themself that are bowing down to Teto, however at 4:29 Teto is seen sitting down with their head facing the ground making it not visible to the viewer. Again, I'm probably just projecting here but I really do wonder if this is meant to represent how because Teto was "Praised like a god" so much, they have an inflated self esteem where they view themselves as a god- They're also probably praised like a god because they seem to be a doctor and or a pharmacist and people who work in the medical field are often praised. I believe that at 4:29 when Teto sits down, looking much less happy and confident, this represents how whenever Teto fails at something or does something wrong, they let it get into their head and feel like a failure who let everyone down; This can also represent how much pressure is put on doctors and if their patient dies or if they're just not able to cure their patient then they're often criticized quite heavily. So sorry for my theory being a bit long- But I hope that you enjoyed it and thank you so much for reading this far.👍
Gives me "Your parents and teachers told you that you were super smart only to turn out you were just neurodivergent and you fell far from their expectations and you think about it alot and you didn't realize it was a problem until it already fucked you up beyond reversal" kinda vibes. Yes, I read the description; this is just what the song makes me feel (because I was that kinda kid growing up). TL;DR Gifted Kid Syndrome/Burnout vibes from this song ngl. EDIT: Man why do all of us gotta suffer like this ong i didn't expect ppl to agree with me so damn much.
The vibe I'm getting is unappreciated work and original ideas (the whiteboard drawings were close to her heart) and the world around you loving a facade that you hate when all you want to do is just make what you want to, but everyone else says no. But you put on a happy face because everyone reveres the public-pleasing work you've done and it's exhausting. Edit: I just realized that Teto never looks at the camera with both eyes except one moment at 4:07 when she looks ready to fall apart. She refuses to let anyone see her real expression, us included.
Aint nobody talking about how this song is in 7/4? Fits the gifted kid metaphor very well as 7/4 aint too common in music, so music in 7/4 tends to stand out.
Something about the tuning and the lyrics scratches my brain SO GOOD but I can't figure out what it is.. the emphasis? Just the general Teto Timbre™? The time signature? Either way this is such a bop omg ily ALSO ALSO ALSO the art looks so clean!!! Psychiatrist Teto looks so pretty and expressive i wanna be her so bad
the way she reacts most happily to green and green is the one that misses her on the dartboard is really interesting to me edit: it is also of note to me that the darts form a teardrop shape, and that though this particular dart misses her it seems to be as close to the center of the dartboard itself as blue & orange. take that as you will
@@sproutz5014 i've assumed them as personalities or personality traits for a while now and that she's trying to fit herself into these labels but none of them fully line up also at 0:54 she seems to be crying about orange edit: it could also be a myriad of other things that she's trying to desperately find herself a label for
I took it as her looking for pieces of herself only to find time and time again that the only thing she has is her career and is actually empty and devoid of anything substantial
This is so cool. I love the editing so much... like I am going to be analyzing this for my own MVs. This was highkey inspiring. This might be my favorite song of yours now but I am biased because I really like teto and cool time signatures. (7/4 slay). Your art is also so dynamic. This is just a very cool project ahhhhhh. Again- super inspiring.
@@Jime- time signatures are like the different times beats are played in a song most songs are 4/4 and so the beat of the song goes like 1-2-3-4 | 1-2-3-4 | 1-2-3-4 | 1-2-3-4 but for example this song being 7/4 would mean there's seven taps that loop four times aka 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 | 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 | 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 | 1-2-3-4-5-6-7

It's a bittersweetly never-ending phobia Who will I become? Never-ending phobia A couple years ago, I was told that I could be a miracle A cloudy day, run on latent apiprazole A couple years ago, I was told that I could be a miracle Y'know, nostalgia from a dolled-up lucid dream is only clinical A couple unaware, laughter in the air after falling Good bye-bye-bye goes the time, turning on a dime A couple years ago, I was told that I could be a miracle The Tower is gonna fall, and you're silently rebuild it all Sunday was jarringly redone; a faulty illusion The ending left misunderstood amnesia for a diorama love Who will I become?

the way my heart rate went up when i saw this. i can already tell this is gonna be good edit: this far exceeded good. great job to everyone who worked on this!!
Every new GHOST song is so addicting like at first I always think "Oh this is cute time to move on" and then I listen to it on loop for the next month. capital letters spirit how do you do that
As someone with tentative experience in the field this song reads to me like bluntly about the struggles of a psychaitrist. Psychatrists routinely have to make estimations and difficult calls on the patient's mental state and mistakes can cause very severe damage. Too little medication or too much medication, the type of medication, the diagnosis itself, all can sometimes feel like a gamble where losing means you potentially condemn a patient to severe suffering you can't even fully comprehend and/or side effects of the drugs. The song's talk about morality and randomness to me read as the portrayal of the seperation between a seemingly godlike professional and a monster who ruins lifes can be utterly unpredictable. It's often extremly difficult for new psychaitrists to cope or come to terms with this responsibility and seemingly random outcomes.
THIS SONG IS SO FANTASTIC I HAVE SO MANY WORDS AND THOUGHTS !?!?!?!? I LOVE THE ARTWORK SO MUCH THE MV HAS SO MUCH PERSONALITY AND SILLINESS AND OOUHRRHNIMMSKNHAPPH IM REALLY REALKY HAPPY I LOVE YOUR MUSIC SO MUCH T__T !!!!!!!!

there’s a lot of references to other ghost songs, like the “never ending phobia” part, the background having the flashing colors of housewife radio and the art being mostly flat colored, praise me like a god could reference several things cause ghost’s made several songs about gods or religion. there’s more than just this, read the other comments that mention the references.
GHOST said in the description that these lyrics were made more to rhyme rather than have meaning, but I love analyzing their songs so I'm still gonna do that with this one :) While I do agree with the gifted kid interpretation of this song, I think it could also be about schizophrenia because: - The mention of aripiprazole, which is a medication that can be used to treat schizophrenia. All of the pills and the scene where Teto feeds pills to the colored figures could be a reference to medication being the main treatment for schizophrenia. - The line "go on, praise me like a god" and the ending scene where Teto is being worshipped by her clones could be considered delusions of grandeur, a symptom of schizophrenia. - The whole song reminds me of word salads. Many lines sound like a bunch of words mixed together without actually conveying any true meaning in a sentence. (Or maybe I'm just not looking deep enough into the lyrics? Idk) It feels like Teto is confident that she's saying something that makes sense, but it's just not coming out coherently. I thought this was worth pointing out because it opens up a lot of possibilities for the story. She might be a doctor not taken seriously for her work. The whiteboard creatures could be new viruses she discovered, but her clones (who could represent other doctors) don't believe her because she's schizophrenic. Or maybe they just don't understand her because of word salad, tying in with the line "no matter what I say, it's confusing either way" She might not literally be a doctor, but she sees herself as one because she's trying to self diagnose herself with one of those viruses. Like in the scene where she opens up her chest to reveal the whiteboard creatures. Once again, she isn't believed/understood because of her schizophrenia. Near the end, she ends up pulling her heart out rather than a virus, and it disturbs her because she realizes that her doctors were right. This also relates to the title "Pathological Facade" because her supposed illness was in her mind the whole time. Or she really could be a burnt out gifted kid who has trouble keeping up with expectations because of her mental state. It still works! I'm just a psychology student though, not schizophrenic. Feel free to agree/disagree with me!
Even though I follow twitter, I didn't expect to see the song. I listen to the song for several hours in a row, even when they wrote to me that it came out 4 hours ago. BUT GODS HOW I LIKE SHE. Not a song, but a charm like your other works. Yes, and I am very glad that Teto was used :) In general, you are beautiful as are your creations. Don't forget to drink water несмотря на то что я слежу за твиттером, я не ожидала увидеть песню. Слушаю песню несколько часов подряд, еще тогда когда мне писало что она вышла 4 часа назад. НО О БОГИ КАК ОНА МНЕ НРАВИТЬСЯ. Не песня, а прелесть как и ваши другие работы. Да и очень радует что использовалась Тето :) И вообще вы прекрасный как и ваши творения. Не забывайте пить воду
In my personal life and personal trauma I find this song very relatable. It speaks to the "I was told I was meant for greatness but that was all just to keep me under abusers thumbs" feelings.
The relatable feeling of this song with my autism!! Feeling like you don’t understand other people, feeling like other people don’t understand you, feeling different, wanting to be recognized beyond what people think you are
i love how the way the music progresses, it feels like a broken loop. like there's supposed to be another note or two before the notes repeat but there isn't and it like, idk, it adds something.
Does anyone else go through a faze where they listen to a single ghost and pals song on loop for like a week and then find a new song and repeat the process
1:13 I may or may not be deaf.. or hearing things.. but is it just me or is that Kevin’s voice with Teto’s.. I feel delusional saying this it just sounds like Kevin in the background as Teto sings in those scenes..
I love the whole feel of this song, especially since its not written in 4/4 time, it feels like the beat is just... missing something. But it works. It feels off in a good way.
You might feel like it's missing something because of the 7/4 time signature - you expect there to be a rest beat or a note to conclude the progression after the 7th, but there isn't one, it literally skips a beat (because 4/4 is so standard) since the first 4 bars are presented as being a normal chunk of 4/4. Sorry if my terminology is off here, I'm not super knowledgable about music theory
Songs with meaning are great but honestly, sometimes songs with no meaning at all are just as great. It scratches the same itch as a lot of nonsense poetry does for me, where its just about having cadence and rhythm that feels good to do and it fun. Like damn so many lines from this just feel great to say, they're so tasty, good mouth feel and brain feel.
2:26 The Tower is one of the Major Arcana symbolizing basically a change that may be unwelcome at first, breaking down old foundations to rebuild something more genuine. i normally dont theorize on these kinds of things so make of it what you will?
I relate this song way too much. I grew up hearing from my parents and teachers that I had such a bright future - I made straight A's. I took up art. I did clubs. But when I turned 17 I started hearing voices and spiraled into early onset schizophrenia. And for I am med resistant and my symptoms are pretty crippling, so I am currently on disability. So... I do feel like I let my parents and my teachers down, my antipsychotics don't help that much, and there is just so much of my early life I feel like ended up being a façade because I was on the spectrum and started masking my emotions all the time. The fact that this song so very nails that feeling AND even mentions Aripiprazole - an antipsychotic I have been on before (that didn't work for me) really just resonates with me.
MY NOSE IS BLEEDING HEAVILY RN BUT I'M GONNA WAIT FOR THIS BEFORE I GET A PAPER TOWEL BC IT LOOKS FIRE 🔥 Edit: JUST WATCHED IT AND IT WAS INDEED FIRE AS HELL I FEEL LIGHT HEADED THO
Loving the funky time signature in this one, especially accompanied with the lyrics in the faster sections and the chorus. It makes for a frenetic, off-kilter rhythm that suits the themes and visuals really well.
Random detail i noticed which probably means nothing but ima go all matpat on it The first time she says “a couple years ago i was told that i would be a miracle” the second two times she says “a year ago” then the last time she says “a couple years ago” again
Timeline is questionable. Either that, or the rhyming structure was preserved over the integrity or consistency of the meaning... ...by design. "No matter what they say, it's confusing either way." 😏

The line "The Tower's gonna fall and you silently rebuild it all" is one of my favorite saddest lines here that I think goes overlooked a lot. If we take 'The Tower' with it's tarot meaning, this line is like saying your life will fall apart while you keep up a smile with everyone else and don't let anyone help you, silently rebuilding it all while pretending to others everything is okay...
mood
Me fr.
Yup. Agreed.
Oh, that makes a lot more sense! I thought it was a reference to the Tower of Babel - an effort to do something great thwarted as you're left scrambling to recollect your lost knowledge, humiliated by your failure. Eventually trying again only for the cycle to be perpetuated, so much to the point where you preemptively expect all you do to fail, though I can't think of any reason to keep trying then, so that interpretation falls apart (lol). I like your version more! :)
Fairytale tower memories come to mind.

Even if Ghost wasn't focusing on the meaning of the lyrics of this song too hard, I still think there are a lot of interesting themes that can be drawn between the lyrics and the PV. I'd say the biggest thing that I think is running through this song is the concerning pairing of medicine (specifically psychiatry) and random chance, possibly alluding to medical malpractice or debates surrounding the legitimacy/ethics of psychiatry as a practice.
Despite Teto being portrayed as a genius ("a miracle // something theoretical") and somebody worth praising "like a god", there is also frequent use of uncertain language or terms relating to chaos or chance. Phrases like "I guess", "I reckon", or, more literally "God-knows-where", "Flip a coin" and "Who will I become?" might be used to suggest the singer doubts themself in their choices or to suggest that, regardless of their confidence, it isn't earnt confidence and they are not as knowledgable as they seem. Knowledge as something questionable or illegitimate can also be seen in the coloured symbols that pop up a few times throughout the PV. They're being taught on a whiteboard, and Teto has distinct reactions to each one, to the point of censoring the orange-yellow symbol completely, but they don't have an obvious meaning, possibly referencing how subjective or dubious information is being passed off as fact in the practice.
I think it was a really interesting choice to use a dartboard in the PV; it clearly carries on with the theme of chance and uncertainty, with Teto literally being pinned to the board and pierced through the chest in her chair. It makes me think of how medical practitioners can never be 100% accurate - they have to diagnose, prescribe, and hope for the best. The danger factor of darts is shown very clearly, but the practitioners are portrayed as both the perpetrator and the victim. They throw darts figuratively speaking when they prescribe medication, hoping they won't cause too much harm. However, in a very self-centered way, the person who gets hit is Teto in a chair (a chair that reminds me of stereotypical "sit back and tell me about how you're feeling" psychotherapy, but that could just be me), possibly because 'missing' so to speak also hurts the doctor because their prestige and legitimacy are seen as just as important as the safety of their patients.
The line that made me start putting all of this together was "The Tower's gonna fall and you'll silently rebuild it all". The "Tower" is capitalised, suggesting it's talking about the tarot card The Tower, which represents (surprise surprise) sudden change and chaos, possibly stemming from higher knowledge or understanding. Therefore, you could interpret the line as meaning "Change is going to occur (The Tower is gonna fall, as depicted in the tarot card) and you are going to endure it silently for the best, because I think it is for the best", possibly in reference to changes brought on by a change in prescription, which would be in line with Teto *literally shoveling random pills down people's throats* in the PV.
Towards the end of the PV, a different side to Teto is hinted at, where her heart is pulled out of her chest behind the random symbols that she has, literally speaking, internalised. The conflict between the symbols representing information that may be meaningless or just debatable and the emotional symbol of the heart reads to me like she has been working off pure facts and logic in place of where her heart should be (again, literally), and she realises, with her heart in her hand, that she's become heartless, or that her practice has been neglecting the subjective, emotional side of things. All of this occurs with the 'normal' scenes for the chorus imposed over her, suggesting that this debate is occurring in the background, failing to make a difference in her behaviour, until it disappears completely, replaced by repetitions of "Go on, praise me like a god", with her standing, then collapsing, on a pedestal, surrounded by clones that worship her.
Overall, I think Teto is characterised in a fairly classic anti-hero fashion; she wants to help people, to be a "miracle", but the method that she chooses gives ambiguous results at best until she steps back and realises that she's lost her way, but can't stop and turn back - not only that, but she has made an impact, changed the field of study entirely, and not in a way that she likes.
I don't want to jump to any conclusions on what exactly the song is criticising; it reads to me like a scathing parody of the psychiatric practice, but it could also be in reference to a specific, hypothetical psychiatrist and this is simply a dramatic narrative, or it could be applied to a wider field entirely.
Regardless, Teto's tragic career progression is best summarised as "A psychedelic lie... a line between the villains and the rest."
Fantastic analysis!
This deserves more likes
Great analysis! I completely agree with it and, even if the creator said that the lyrics don't make much sense, that was the message I was getting, but I didn't have the words to put it, this comment made things a lot clearer
Great analysis! But i still not understanding lol
Oh boy, i didn't expect to think for a whole hour, cause of an analysis of a song..
Its a bit of a small detail but i like how at 2:45 when shes on the dartboard shes positioned so that her neck is over the 20 triple ring so to get the maximun points in a single turn youd have to decapitate her
Not sure if that means much in the actual story but its cool nonetheless
Also to get a bullseye you basically have to castrate her
Edit: idk what the female equivalent is so I said castrate

Fr
probably the only fandom i know that will have a new pfp every 0.0001 seconds ghost releases a new banger
Teto getting the appreciation she deserves once again!
I might be projecting a bit here, but this song makes me think of someone who was constantly praised, and therefore they felt the need to be perfect all the time to live up to that praise, hence the lyrics "A couple years ago I was told that I would be a miracle." As well as someone who let their parents decide their life for them. Here's my theory explained a bit more:
At 0:42 it shows Teto seemingly showing other versions of themself ideas that they drew on a drawing board, I think that this is meant to represent Teto thinking of brilliant ideas, but Teto always becoming too anxious of the ideas not being good enough to actually execute said ideas, hence the other Tetos shaking their head at every one of Tetos ideas until eventually Teto just gives up because nothing is ever good enough for themself. This could also represent how Teto may have wanted to work some other job, but their family members pressured them into becoming a Pharmacist instead.
I think that because of the constant praise Teto heard, they may have occasionally have an inflated ego, hence the lyrics "Go on, praise me like a god!" possibly representing how since Teto gave into their parents' demands for them to become a doctor/pharmacist, their parents praised them "Like a god."
The lyrics "No matter what I say, it's confusing either way" can also represent how Teto may have attempted to communicate with their parents on how they didn't want to be a pharmacist and wanted to be something else, but how their parents wouldn't understand.
As for the lyrics "Stars always watching from afar, turning who you are" can represent Teto feeling like their parents are always watching from afar, judging their every move, further making them feel like they have to be perfect 24/7. I think that the lyrics that follow, "In the end, it left me delicately scarred beyond pathological facade" further back up my idea.
I could go on and on about all the symbolism that I see in this, but I'll try and keep this theory short and sweet, so I just have one last point to make:
At 4:08 We see Teto standing in front of a lot of versions of themself that are bowing down to Teto, however at 4:29 Teto is seen sitting down with their head facing the ground making it not visible to the viewer. Again, I'm probably just projecting here but I really do wonder if this is meant to represent how because Teto was "Praised like a god" so much, they have an inflated self esteem where they view themselves as a god- They're also probably praised like a god because they seem to be a doctor and or a pharmacist and people who work in the medical field are often praised.
I believe that at 4:29 when Teto sits down, looking much less happy and confident, this represents how whenever Teto fails at something or does something wrong, they let it get into their head and feel like a failure who let everyone down; This can also represent how much pressure is put on doctors and if their patient dies or if they're just not able to cure their patient then they're often criticized quite heavily.
So sorry for my theory being a bit long- But I hope that you enjoyed it and thank you so much for reading this far.👍
This is pretty much what I had in mind aswell!

This is a pretty awesome theory tbh 👏
Gives me "Your parents and teachers told you that you were super smart only to turn out you were just neurodivergent and you fell far from their expectations and you think about it alot and you didn't realize it was a problem until it already fucked you up beyond reversal" kinda vibes. Yes, I read the description; this is just what the song makes me feel (because I was that kinda kid growing up).
TL;DR Gifted Kid Syndrome/Burnout vibes from this song ngl.

@@perfect1dent1ty-fb6gfThis is simply a true fact
@@perfect1dent1ty-fb6gf YES
The vibe I'm getting is unappreciated work and original ideas (the whiteboard drawings were close to her heart) and the world around you loving a facade that you hate when all you want to do is just make what you want to, but everyone else says no. But you put on a happy face because everyone reveres the public-pleasing work you've done and it's exhausting.
Edit: I just realized that Teto never looks at the camera with both eyes except one moment at 4:07 when she looks ready to fall apart. She refuses to let anyone see her real expression, us included.
*yes.*
Aint nobody talking about how this song is in 7/4?
Fits the gifted kid metaphor very well as 7/4 aint too common in music, so music in 7/4 tends to stand out.
Jocko Homo by Devo is also in 7/4
And Ghost decided to put in a 5/4 part as well
I think more songs should use 7/4 or other weird signatures because they all sound AMAZING
@@izzie_WHY music beat
@@wvvj_animates Would be cool, but I can definitely understand why most people won't do it... 4/4 is probably the easiest to work with.

i was searching for this comment after the first line this is so on point
Ohhhh. That's why I relate to this
It all makes sense now...
so THAT'S why I relate to this song...
REAL
Something about the tuning and the lyrics scratches my brain SO GOOD but I can't figure out what it is.. the emphasis? Just the general Teto Timbre™? The time signature? Either way this is such a bop omg ily ALSO ALSO ALSO the art looks so clean!!! Psychiatrist Teto looks so pretty and expressive i wanna be her so bad
I was so confused abt the time signature too cuz i felt like it was skipping a beat but it's 7/4
the way she reacts most happily to green and green is the one that misses her on the dartboard is really interesting to me
edit: it is also of note to me that the darts form a teardrop shape, and that though this particular dart misses her it seems to be as close to the center of the dartboard itself as blue & orange. take that as you will
now I'm wondering if the colors represent something maybe? idk bit it's fun to theorize
@@sproutz5014 i've assumed them as personalities or personality traits for a while now and that she's trying to fit herself into these labels but none of them fully line up
also at 0:54 she seems to be crying about orange
edit: it could also be a myriad of other things that she's trying to desperately find herself a label for
I took it as her looking for pieces of herself only to find time and time again that the only thing she has is her career and is actually empty and devoid of anything substantial
not to mention at 2:12 it's the one that hits her directly in the chest, and at 3:33 it's the color of her syringe when she's smiling!
This is so cool. I love the editing so much... like I am going to be analyzing this for my own MVs. This was highkey inspiring. This might be my favorite song of yours now but I am biased because I really like teto and cool time signatures. (7/4 slay). Your art is also so dynamic. This is just a very cool project ahhhhhh. Again- super inspiring.
SO THAT'S THE TIME SIGNATURE
i thought it was 2/4
@@54D3-P what are time signatures?
@@Jime- time signatures are like the different times beats are played in a song
most songs are 4/4 and so the beat of the song goes like
1-2-3-4 | 1-2-3-4 | 1-2-3-4 | 1-2-3-4
but for example this song being 7/4 would mean there's seven taps that loop four times aka
1-2-3-4-5-6-7 | 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 | 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 | 1-2-3-4-5-6-7
this was a very bad explanation

A couple years ago, I was told that I could be a miracle
Something theoretical, I guess
It's kinda like a psychedelic lie, and yet it tries to be
A line between the villains and the rest
A cloudy day, run on latent apiprazole
Missing what I reckon is a soul
So flip a coin, let's rejoin our family in the mirror world
Seeing things that cannot be retold
A year ago, I was told that I could be a miracle
Something theoretical, I guess
It's kinda like a psychedelic lie, and yet it tries to be
A line between the villains and the rest
Nostalgia from a wall of barricated faded memories
Impartial to the carnal scenery
Apparently, guarantees are only found peripherally
Drinking to a total mystery
Well, no matter what I say
I'ts confusing either way

Falling head-first down a flight of stairs

Who's heading towards god-knows-where
Bye-bye-bye goes the time, turning on a dime
Gone without the reason or a rhyme
So flip a coin, let's rejoin our family in the mirror world
Where everybody is crooked by design
A year ago, I was told that I could be a miracle
Something theoretical, I guess
It's kinda like a psychedelic lie, and yet it tries to be
A line between the villains and the rest
The Tower is gonna fall, and you're silently rebuild it all
Knowing someone else would be appalled
You're crying as you call out
Halt and move on without someone that you think a lot about
Well, no matter what I say
I'ts confusing either way
Well, no matter what I say
I'ts confusing either-
Sunday was jarringly redone; a faulty illusion
The ending left misunderstood amnesia for a diorama love
Who will I become?

A couple years ago, I was told that I could be a miracle
A cloudy day, run on latent apiprazole
A couple years ago, I was told that I could be a miracle
Y'know, nostalgia from a dolled-up lucid dream is only clinical
A couple unaware, laughter in the air after falling
Good bye-bye-bye goes the time, turning on a dime
A couple years ago, I was told that I could be a miracle
The Tower is gonna fall, and you're silently rebuild it all

@@sproutz5014sounds like the title of Ghost’s next song
As someone with tentative experience in the field this song reads to me like bluntly about the struggles of a psychaitrist.
Psychatrists routinely have to make estimations and difficult calls on the patient's mental state and mistakes can cause very severe damage. Too little medication or too much medication, the type of medication, the diagnosis itself, all can sometimes feel like a gamble where losing means you potentially condemn a patient to severe suffering you can't even fully comprehend and/or side effects of the drugs. The song's talk about morality and randomness to me read as the portrayal of the seperation between a seemingly godlike professional and a monster who ruins lifes can be utterly unpredictable. It's often extremly difficult for new psychaitrists to cope or come to terms with this responsibility and seemingly random outcomes.

GHOST said in the description that these lyrics were made more to rhyme rather than have meaning, but I love analyzing their songs so I'm still gonna do that with this one :) While I do agree with the gifted kid interpretation of this song, I think it could also be about schizophrenia because:
- The mention of aripiprazole, which is a medication that can be used to treat schizophrenia. All of the pills and the scene where Teto feeds pills to the colored figures could be a reference to medication being the main treatment for schizophrenia.
- The line "go on, praise me like a god" and the ending scene where Teto is being worshipped by her clones could be considered delusions of grandeur, a symptom of schizophrenia.
- The whole song reminds me of word salads. Many lines sound like a bunch of words mixed together without actually conveying any true meaning in a sentence. (Or maybe I'm just not looking deep enough into the lyrics? Idk) It feels like Teto is confident that she's saying something that makes sense, but it's just not coming out coherently.
I thought this was worth pointing out because it opens up a lot of possibilities for the story. She might be a doctor not taken seriously for her work. The whiteboard creatures could be new viruses she discovered, but her clones (who could represent other doctors) don't believe her because she's schizophrenic. Or maybe they just don't understand her because of word salad, tying in with the line "no matter what I say, it's confusing either way"
She might not literally be a doctor, but she sees herself as one because she's trying to self diagnose herself with one of those viruses. Like in the scene where she opens up her chest to reveal the whiteboard creatures. Once again, she isn't believed/understood because of her schizophrenia. Near the end, she ends up pulling her heart out rather than a virus, and it disturbs her because she realizes that her doctors were right. This also relates to the title "Pathological Facade" because her supposed illness was in her mind the whole time.
Or she really could be a burnt out gifted kid who has trouble keeping up with expectations because of her mental state. It still works! I'm just a psychology student though, not schizophrenic. Feel free to agree/disagree with me!
Good!

I love the whole feel of this song, especially since its not written in 4/4 time, it feels like the beat is just... missing something. But it works. It feels off in a good way.
You might feel like it's missing something because of the 7/4 time signature - you expect there to be a rest beat or a note to conclude the progression after the 7th, but there isn't one, it literally skips a beat (because 4/4 is so standard) since the first 4 bars are presented as being a normal chunk of 4/4.

Well. If i told you, it might limit our options going forward...
Songs with meaning are great but honestly, sometimes songs with no meaning at all are just as great. It scratches the same itch as a lot of nonsense poetry does for me, where its just about having cadence and rhythm that feels good to do and it fun. Like damn so many lines from this just feel great to say, they're so tasty, good mouth feel and brain feel.

I relate this song way too much. I grew up hearing from my parents and teachers that I had such a bright future - I made straight A's. I took up art. I did clubs. But when I turned 17 I started hearing voices and spiraled into early onset schizophrenia. And for I am med resistant and my symptoms are pretty crippling, so I am currently on disability. So... I do feel like I let my parents and my teachers down, my antipsychotics don't help that much, and there is just so much of my early life I feel like ended up being a façade because I was on the spectrum and started masking my emotions all the time. The fact that this song so very nails that feeling AND even mentions Aripiprazole - an antipsychotic I have been on before (that didn't work for me) really just resonates with me.
I've started using the word "tasty" as an adjective to describe things I like.. this song is tasty
it tastes like a fruit smoothie. frozen strawberrie s,,, (edit: NO I GOT IT. HANDFUL OF SOUR SKITTLES)
Tastes like konpeitō. Dunno how else to explain it.
@MarxPopstar69WAIT IT DOES THO WTF

@@wolftango6084 I’ve seen more unhinged stuff in the comment sections of GHOST’s songs before lol. Anyways, I hope OP got that taken care of
goddamnit OP, are you okay?
0:00 - 4:45 THE BEST PART
I loved the part where music played
0:14 I would have Teto as my Pharmacist.
It's great that searching for Kasane Teto now produces a lot of results.

Ещё одна песня, которой я буду поклоняться, спасибо
Omg Teto is finally getting the appreciation that she deserves thank you so much ghost your music is awesome!
yoooooooooo a drdt fan on a ghost song?????? slay
Не песня а творение божества
Loving the funky time signature in this one, especially accompanied with the lyrics in the faster sections and the chorus. It makes for a frenetic, off-kilter rhythm that suits the themes and visuals really well.
3:21 My first few times listening i misunderstood “aripiprazole” (antipsychotic med) for “omeprazole” (tummy hurty med) 🤣
i want to eat a really big sheet of ice
Same i just ate paper
I know that ghost didn't intend for this song to have a meaning, but I find this song weirdly relatable as a person growing up as a gifted child.
Random detail i noticed which probably means nothing but ima go all matpat on it
The first time she says “a couple years ago i was told that i would be a miracle” the second two times she says “a year ago” then the last time she says “a couple years ago” again
Timeline is questionable.
Either that, or the rhyming structure was preserved over the integrity or consistency of the meaning...
...by design.

@@normanclatcher idk maybe teto is having an epic flashback moment
