KIDDSOUL
Undoubtedly, ‘Ghost’ by KIDDSOUL captures the essence of personal development as well as self faith and growth. This work encapsulates pain, self-realisation, and existential awakening. From the feeling of being unnoticed and shattered into pieces, KIDDSOUL’s lyrics transform into a narrative of faith, metamorphosis, and perseverance via absorbing life’s challenges.
The track kicks off by highlighting the artist’s struggle within as he tries to deal with the conflict of the past and the future. KIDDSOUL speaks about the need to have faith but more importantly, to have room for forgiveness and the fact that having any kind of peace is not an option without letting go of bitterness. The way he tries to show healing after moving, in his own words, “from a place of hurt to healing”, is a message that is soothing and resonates deeply. The song captures how powerless he feels despite his numerous imperfections, making him very real.
During the track, KIDDSOUL seems perfectly comfortable on the journey he is traversing. The phrase “going up another level” metaphorically corresponds to the milestones he has achieved and the strength he has garnered through faith. Moreover, the lines “middle finger to the devil” and “I don’t know the plan, but God the schedule” signify some form of negative defiance counterbalanced by a higher power, indicating reliance on a greater force.
This combination, along with a renewed sense of determination makes his message hopeful and empowering. Towards the end the artist comes to a state of humility, one in which he surrenders to God’s will. The surrender lines evoke serenity, almost as if trust where they reiterate they no longer have the need to fight, not a negative one, but KIDDSOUL has managed to find equilibrium. All in all, “Ghost” is more than just a song, it is an anthem of hope designed to curb the feelings of invisibility or getting lost that so many people suffer from.
