“HI I SPENT TWO MONTHS NONSTOP WORKING ON THIS SONG & IT'S PV this is easily the one video I've put the most effort into and I'm ready for a nap lol”
—Author's comment
Appetite of a People-Pleaser is a song featuring flower by GHOST. The song highlights the dangers and self-destructive nature of being a people-pleaser by relating it to behavior equated with an eating disorder. However, the song is open to other interpretations as well, as GHOST has gone on record to say.
Lyrics[]
Ideas forming out of thin air
These indulgences none can compare
So many flavors that one would abhor
Even though I’ve had enough, I still demand:
Give me more!
I need a whole personality
Something inordinately sweet
Order anything you’d like
Nothing’s changing my mind
I don’t care how unhealthy it is
‘Cus there isn’t anything I’d rather be
Call me obsequious, I guess I’m a bit dramatic
Sometimes my appetite is eerily erratic
Give me your dire expectations, and I’ll consume perfection
You are what you eat, after all
Everything
Combines into one
So many flavors that one would abhor
And I know I’ve had enough, I’ve gone too far
Now that I’ve become a full-course identity
Take a bite of me
I hope that I’ve become a favorable delicacy
That I’m worth something
I’ll eat ‘em all, the thoughts of anyone I’ll ever meet
Just to make them happy
Wondering why I’m a burden, or so it seems
Aren’t I everything?
Maybe if I try a little harder, it will be okay
One day
Keep on eating more and more
Divide my life away
Into servings
And go beyond the point of no return
I know I’m subservient, but all of this is necessary
Sometimes my appetite is violently contrary
Irreconcilable perceptions appeal to my obsessions
The nausea is overwhelming
Whether I’ve been caramelized or rotten to the core
Which one should I be?
‘Cus I dunno who I’m supposed to be anymore
And it’s sickening
I’ll overeat the implications of your thoughts
Just to make you happy
Nonetheless, I feel my insides are tied in knots
Aren’t I more than everything?
I’m a recipe for entropy
I’m too overwhelming
Give me your validation
I can taste your apprehension
These flavors of personality are
Hindering my likeability
My impulsive desire, my appetite has
Spoiled my urge to satisfy
Everyone will like me more without it
Everyone will like me more without it
Now that I’ve become the perfect identity
Take a bite of me
I hope that I’ve become a flavorless delicacy
That I’m good enough
And now that I’ve become the perfect identity
What else do you need?
‘Cus I dunno who I’m supposed to be anymore
And I’m starving
I’ll purge ‘em all, the thoughts of anyone I’ll ever meet
Why aren’t you happy?
Nonetheless, I know my insides are empty
Aren’t I more than everything?
Ah!
