"Father tore out the umbilical cord" Fetus Deletus

Small brain: kiss the spider to die Big brain: eat the spider to avoid paying child support

Just me sitting on my couch at 2am, wrapped in a blanket, drinking milk and listening to industrial catholic bugcore

Ghost really wrote a better dark story involving religious trauma in a four minute vocaloid song than Onision did in an entire goddamn novel

"Honey, I'm home!" "Sir, this is a bestbuy"

What if you Wanted to go to Heaven But God said: *”Didgeridoo no Umbilical cord for you.”*

idc if he has poison on his lips bro, im giving Charon the most passionate smooch ever

charon would be GREAT at playing the piano, he would be the ones playing those “humanly impossible” piano covers.

that bit where spiderman and mr. clean performed a ritual? I felt that.

the father: mr umbilical chord the son: norman minecraft the holy spirit: D R P H I L

“To get out of here is to promise me a kiss-” “Hell yeah, c’mere boy I don’t wanna even go-”

1:36 it says John 3:33 Without the content warning (or just using the Spotify one) this song is 3 minutes and 33 seconds. Literally perfect.

Lyrics: The itsy-bitsy spider Climbed up the water spout Down came the rain And washed the spider out Out came the sun And dried up all the rain And the itsy-bitsy spider Climbed up the spout again

spider: "To get out of here is to promise me a kiss" entire fandom: "Then let's get out of here ;)"

I had a friend over Discord that recently took his own life. I remember them saying they liked this song, often having the lyrics in their bio, status, etc. The day before he died, he kept the lyrics "So with advice of the dead and a halo over my head. At last 'Honey, I'm home!' Three voices come all alone." displayed on his account. Around a month later, I decided to take a listen to this song. I really enjoy it myself and come back every now and again as a comfort and reminder for my friend, Nyx. It really keeps me going, and as much as I wished he'd still be going, I think it'd better off to keep living for him. Thank you for your music. It really brings me joy. Rest in peace, my good friend Nyx. 🕊 Edit: thank y'all for the support, it's currently been around 8 months since he passed; he would've been 17 this year on February 28th. It's comforting to know that even complete strangers can stop for a second and wish him well. To whoever needs this, going through suicidal thoughts is a very hard route to go down, but keep in mind that there will be people who care and are there to comfort you. And if you've lost someone to suicide, there are others who have dealt with the same, and you're never alone in this. No matter how long the battle goes on, you can and will recover. But you can't do that without some help, don't be afraid to ask. Everyone remember to drink some water, eat some good food, and enjoy life. Live it to the fullest. Remember that there are people who love you and know you love them too.

the entirety of the comments is just - world is an egg, when will it hatch -industrial religious bugcore - ghosts bad experience dominoes -triple a batteries And last but not least, -f o a m

This song: Edgy The comments: *Minecraft, spiders, and some others idiots* Me: Perfect

I can't believe industrial catholic bugcore is my new favorite genre of music

Fun fact: From when the song starts to where the song ends 0:05 - 3:37 is actually 3:33 minutes in song total. This not counting the Patreon and warning at the beginning. This is also concluded on the topic version of the song where it says 3:33 in length as well. And coincidently the Bibles word from John in this video has the same numbers 3:33. If this wasn't intentional, I don't know what is.

i feel the urge to let EVERYONE know that this is on the grimace birthday playlist

everybody gangsta until God starts making chicken nuggets out of Father

Nobody: John at the 3:33 am:

The Video: 💀👿☠️👾😭😖😔 The fucking comments: 😂👺🤡🤠🙀🙌

I literally searched “industrial catholic bugcore” just to see this because I forgot the name

Me: I like religious music Them: Gospel? Me: No, this one

I, personally, feel as if this song is about converting to another more horrifyingly unknown religion. One characterized by morbid, disturbing rituals in order to pray and worship the God. At first, the main character senses a feeling of lacking in his own system of beliefs, and attempts to pray for a different reality. He is unhappy, for that religion brings him no feeling nor interest anymore. The moth represents where his mind strays at for religious thinking- wherever the creature is ‘tied up’, (the spiderweb, then the new God) that will be where Norman’s (the main character) new belief in religion and worship-ways stay. It was first tied to the web, and once Norman freed the vagarious creature inside himself, it found another, more ‘satisfactory’ choice in a god. The spiderweb is delicate. Many things stronger than a moth would have torn it apart, demonstrating how thin Norman’s beliefs in his previous religion were. Yet, when he found happiness in another train of thought, the moth was chained to a firm, powerful deity with a near human look. Now, his faith is stronger. He won’t escape it as easily as he did with his own. The God, whether psychologically imagined or not (by any chance), tempts Norman into a new, foreign divinity. However, his own father refuses to allow him. Because Norman’s mother (the lady drawn in red shown near the end of the video) had followed that path before, which resulted in her untimely demise befalling. Some religious acts of gratitude and praying and/or a ritual went wrong, and the mother faced a horrible, punitive death- or maybe a mere disappearance. That is why ‘Don’t remember it, don’t return to it’ is repeated so often in the narrative. It’s the pleading of the father, because the belief is subtly ingrained in Norman, due to him being their offspring, which is why he could ‘return to it’ though he has not seen nor endorsed it yet. The doctrine may have also tantalized the family on several occasions before. Whether a relative is known to it, or a multitude of disappearances strived from this religion as the core point of why, the father would have been begging Norman not to look that way. For he knows what happened to the others, he is not naive. Soon enough, though, the father fails to reach Norman in time. His attempts are all in vain, as the God metaphorically ‘eats’ the father, yielding him as nothing more than he was, for not supporting the new religion. If his opinions are not worth noting, than he is not worth existing in Norman’s mind. He could either have been killed in reality by a cult, or dismissed of forever by Norman’s mental choice. Speaking of a cult! I think the ‘spider’ is meant to be a cult member/leader in this story. While the God is not ‘real’ in our realms, a cult member certainly can be. Norman joins this cult, and though the God is not with them in reality, he is with them in their thoughts. This is the same cult where his mother could have died in. A vivisection is performed, which could have been a gruesome ritual in order to convert the boy fully. Once it is done, he is, of course, dead. Facing the same fate as his mother, he acquires a halo on his head, and is thrust into the dark afterlife. Or, perhaps, given a chance of barely another life as a ghost upon the world. Lost and lonely, forever weeping black tears pooling around his eyes. The shell of his former existence, the realm between dead and living for which he is stuck in forever, is the result of his new religion. Those were the promises given to him, and now that he took it, he lost what he took for granted before. For he is unable to pass on, and accursed to this void of reality where his mother met the same fate. (bY THE WAY, Ghost!! *wonderful* song. I adore how eerie and creepy the visuals, instrumentals, and lyrics are. thats something I hardly ever got from VOCALOID these days!! AND well done on the art, I see so much improvement all around- in Norman, in the God figure(s), and especially the mantis!!! I can’t believe how far you’ve come.. it’s amazing, really. Good job. I hope you’ll know how stellar you are- you are, after all, one of my biggest inspirations.)

2:19 y'all idk if I should call Charon "hot" or "transition goals". Like dam that's the prettiest spider I've ever seen

We can change night into gay.

Imagine if god came down to earth said “it’s pronounced jod” and left

GHOST: "I know this won't be everyone's cup of tea" Me, listening to a song by GHOST for the first time: "this is the best tea I've ever tasted"

as a catholic, i feel disturbed yet absolutely amazed and in awe. I really dont know what this feeling is called.

The gender envy i get from Norman _and_ Charon is immaculate

Charon: “to get out of here is to promise me a kiss” the comments: *gladly*

oh MAN this BEAT is out here slapping RANDOM PEOPLE at the local WALGREENS

2:46 why does the spider look like. “Dude i think we fucked up”

I just wanted to say My friend called ghost music “Kawaii music” Yeah uh..very kawaii🥰

“John returned with a pizza chained to his hand. There are so many things that you’ll never understand, so come with me we can change dough in to crust, I’ll hold your hand so in papa we can trust”

What if you want to go to heaven But god said... T h e r e s s o m a n y t h i n g s t h a t y o u l l n e v e r u n d e r s t a n d

If you see this, I just want to tell you that you have an incredible music taste :)

I feel the need to let everyone know that once I pulled this song up on spotify at a bus stop and someone asked me if I was listening to church music and I just stared at them for like a minute because I had no genuine idea how to react to that

Honey, I am foam.

lyrics: Remember when I hated my life And I said I didn't want to die But I did, now I know the reason why (I'm so alive) It's because of the sky Can you guess it right now? Are you wondering how? I found love so fast And I know this love will last How do I know? How do I know? He's with me from the start He was always in my heart Do I straight for, here you are Jesus my superstar I love you, Jesus I love you, Jesus You give me reason You give me hope Jesus never let me go You can act bad, or you can be good You can be from privilege or straight from the hood But Jesus loves you, this we know Never leave your side and he'll lead you home He's with me from the start He was always in my heart Do I straight for, here you are Jesus my superstar I love you, Jesus I love you, Jesus You give me reason You give me hope Jesus never let me go There was a time I overdosed And I was lifted, not by the ambulance But by the holy ghost He's with me from the start He was always in my heart Do I straight for, here you are Jesus my superstar I love you, Jesus I love you, Jesus You give me reason You give me hope Jesus never let me go I love you, Jesus I love you, Jesus You give me reason You give me hope Jesus never let me go

When I got home I sarcastically said "Honey, I'm home" and then song immediately started playing. Honestly it's coincidences like this that make me happiest sometime. (Or is it a coincidence?)

Finally some good Christian music to listen to with the family

"I make songs based off subjects from personal experience" *aIGHT*

WHAT IF you wanted to go to heaven but God said didgeridon't

I would love to see a colored version of the spider because he looks so cool smh

My phone was glitching and I was listening to this song while waiting for it to stop. I put the headphones on my phone while this song blasted from them. No joke. My phone literally just went back to normal Moral of the story; My phone likes industrial Catholic bugcore

Nobody: Not a single soul: The Ant Bully:

Can we all just talk about how unique the interpretation of god is in this?

Played this in my car and my mom said that it sounds like Bo Burnham is singing. Y'all kill me please

I memorised this song perfectly so i can constantly play it in my head whenever I need to

The song: Depressing and deep the comments: "Anyone got triple a batteries'' "THIS IS ABOUT GHOST'S BAD EXPERIENCE AT DOMINO'S'' "God returned with raid shadow legends in hand''

I like how so many people interpret the story with symbolism and underlying themes but in reality norman's dad really just is a massive praying mantis and god really did have him for dinner

My grandma came while I was listening to this and asked me if my phone was broken and I just told her it was possessed.😊

What I expected: cute family music What I got: religious anarchy

Everybody gansta till somebody says “honey I’m home” but you live alone.

I think GHOST single handedly cured everyone's arachnophobia by creating Charon

originally by 8bit: For anyone confused and curious about the meaning of the song, here is what I got: There are three main characters here, Norman(the first guy) aka the moth, God and Charon(the spider guy with multiple arms). Norman's father was convinced that life was a sort of nightmare and that you could escape it by dying, which is why he kills his wife out of "mercy". Growing up with this mindset Norman naturally questioned if the world was even real, and eventually came to the conclusion of it being a sort of simulation, this is basically what "a tied up moth seemed to know a different way" means (he himself is building different theories). This is when he meets God, who says he can save him and basically confirms his doubts. God eating father is symbolic of him taking his place as a mentor for Norman, and the moth tied up on god's right hand is symbolic of blind trust. Norman also meets Charon, who offers him an easy way out, as simply kissing him will kill him and therefore "wake him up". Unfortunately, turns out God isn't that nice of a guy after all, upon waking up Norman finds out that his real body is tied up and being used for live dissection in order to entertain a large group of angels watching him.

fun fact: the moth used in the video is an emperor moth! im not a bug nerd, just think moths r rlly cool lol :]

Father be like: hippity hoppity, your umbilical cord is now my property

Charon: What if we like... Kissed? You could totally get out of here.🤔🤔🤔 Hjhjhhjjjh jk, lol... Unless? 👀👀👀 Nah, just a joke haha... Although... 😏😏😏

My art teacher played this in class and I freaked out. But it’s such a good song! Edit: well I did ask for a ghost song

This fucking slaps i want to adopt the spider boy and give him some enchiladas

GHOST’s mind: how many bugs do you want in your songs GHOST, an intellectual: Y E S

When my mom asks me to put on christian music

My bestie caught me smiling while listening to this song and he literally turned to me and said 'You need a Psychiatrist' *I laughed so hard*

Listening to this isnt enough i need to inject it into my veins

Six arms is never a good sign.

What if you wanted to go to heaven But god said “möth”

Am I the only one that thinks the spider is adorable? Like, in the "A vivisection of me, done by God for all to see' part, he's just chilling on the side and he looks so cute like omg I wanna give him all my love ❤

ok folks, *use the japanese captions and auto translate to english*. this song is no longer ‘honey im home’, it is now ‘heather, im home’

as a Christian I can confirm that yes, this is how it happens in prayer circles

Norman at 1:15 had big "go to your room" energy and I don't know why.

Me and my friend have a joke that charon goes into his local clothes shop and complains that they dont sell clothes with enough arm holes and his arms get cold bc he has to cut holes in his jumpers

I was listening to a playlist with this song after the song “Below the Surface” so it literally jumped scared me after the whisper of “exotic butter” and then it just went loudly “DUH DUH” (because I was playing the playlist loudly) and it started the living fnck out of me for a second lol😭

What if you wanted to go to heaven? But God d e v o u r e d t h a t o f f a t h e r?

"Industrial Catholic Bugcore" is something i never thought I'd read

I was casually listening to this and a spider appeared on my wall. 𝗚𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻𝗲.

I don't care if there is poison, you know that 20 bucks is 20 bucks

What if GHOST actually filed this song as ‘Catholic music’ and some random Christian family was listening to the Christian radio and this came on

Don't you just hate it when your dad is a praying mantis and he gets consumed by a higher being? Yea same :/

I bought new headphones and i tried them out by listening to this and it's actually heavenly

Father - smash Moth - smash God - smash Charon - SMASH Norman - smash

Father said it’s my turn with the umbilical cord 😭😡

MY THEORY: This song is about joining a religion (not necessarily a cult, and perhaps specifically a Christian branch) and the threat of Hell. The boy is our main character whose father convinces him that his life would be better with religion. Father "cuts" the umbilical cord by starting life anew in the religion. The son packs his things and throws out his toys, perhaps because the rules don't allow for certain things. The moth represents the boy's doubts and values. God comes in with the moth, possibly to lure Boy into the religion by making him think that his values won't be changed, and that the boy and God share the same feelings. The vivisection that sparks a mystery is the church telling the boy that he's sinful. The boy doubts his values and who he is. Mother is God. Female praying mantises eat the males (hence why God devoured Father). This is symbolic of Father either being consumed by the religion and fully indoctrinated or invoking the wrath of God, who the boy thinks will punish him eternally. "Honey I'm home!" is the threat of judgment. The three voices from the gramophone are God, Jesus, and the holy spirit. "Honey I'm home!" is essentially Mother returning, either when the boy dies or during armageddon comes, but the phrase is loving and often what parents say to their children. The three strikes may be either sinning too much or the holy trinity. The vivisections could represent confessions, perhaps to a church or cult leader, or the boy feeling that his unworthiness and sinful nature has been brought to light. The spider represents the boy's old life--a nonreligious one--but made into something evil by the church. Besides the boy, the spider is the most human looking character, but the church paints it as poisonous. The boy's halo represents him becoming fully indoctrinated and killing his old self. His eyes are completely vacant; he has no personality.

me: *vibing to this song* my brain: A vivisection of Steve, done by Notch for all to see

Charon is adorable and I love him I'm adopting him he's my son now.

dex just comes home after a long day of spider work and he just gets mutilated by god: the song

I notice some references *Entomologist* : for the "Mantis Dad" *Black & White* : for the "Honey Im home" *Spider in the Wall* : for the "Spider verse part" *The Distortionist* : for the "a viviception of me" part also, the Music Genere could be Tribal or something

ghost and pals how does it feel knowing that this song was on grimace’s birthday playlist

1:31 whenever this part plays I always hear "Mind Of Mother,Mind Of Mother,Mind Of Mother"

i finally cracked the code this song is about ghost's bad experience at dominos so basically norman is the person in this story ok so im gonna go through the entire story from start to finish father is actually the domnioes cashier right and that the world is actually just the $9.67 pizza the come to me part is about paying for the pizza, but ghost only had $7 in their pocket the specific lyric im mentioning is the "change" like money change the tied up moth is actually the other cashier who knows the pizza was $6.54 but doesnt say anything dont remember it is the fact that the pizza was priced up and they dont want ghost to recall the actual pizza price, while the dont return to it is dont look at ur fone the torn out umbilical cord is actually that the $7 were already taken before ghost could cancel the bottle is ghost left the scene without pizza the white noise is the birds because birds are amazing ghost was ready to pack bags because uh and the toys were the coupons because screw dominos never going there again "honey im home and we lost pizza :(" the 3 voices from the gramophone are the local bugs who were also sad the vivisection is referenced a lot btw but its actually just the way they slice the pizza yielded the start of the mystery further reinforces the previous part because hey why would the pizza cost more because thats the root of this entire math equation john 3:33 is only here as a reference to papa john, the true pizza company that shant rip you off i dont think i need to prove my point any further its all in the symbolism

Norman: Dad, stop *BUGGING* me. I’m playing Minecraft >:( Dad: :’0

2:45 North Dakota North Dakota North Dakota

Nothing slaps as hard as religious trauma

It just hit me how Charon would probably give amazing hugs.

My theory on this: Someone really likes moth man

2:29 THIS PART-

I told my mom "when I have kids ur not meeting them and she was like "why?" And I'm like "I don't want u showing them ur country music" and she said "and u think they would like this?!??"(I made her listen to this in the car while we were talking) and I looked at her so confused and said "YES"
