PUPPETS
"Puppets" dives into the darker side of ambition — the part nobody talks about. It's a story about wanting our dreams so badly that we make deals we don't fully understand. In Ghostd's world, the puppet master is the devil we bargain with: the one who offers the money, the shortcuts, the fast track… but always wants something in return.
The song follows the moment we realise the cost. The strings tighten. The stage lights turn cold. And the dream we chased becomes the cage we dance inside.
With its theatrical darkness and industrial edge, "Puppets" captures the feeling of being pulled by forces bigger than us — temptation, desperation, and the price of wanting more.
Ghostd In The Machine turns that struggle into a performance: a warning, a confession, and a dance we can't stop once the strings are tied.

"Puppets" is Ghostd In The Machine's warning about ambition with strings attached. It's the moment you want something so badly — success, money, recognition — that you make a deal you shouldn't. The puppet master offers the shortcut, but the price is control. The song follows the slow realisation that the dream you chased is now pulling the strings. Industrial, theatrical, and brutally honest, "Puppets" is Ghostd's dance with temptation and the cost of wanting more.
