Breakfast Ghost Home Invasion

**"Breakfast Ghost Home Invasion"** is a song by Negative Øhio, featuring Canadian musician YMRED, formerly of the band Bluefusion. The track is a bizarre and noisy song about ghosts breaking into your house to eat all your food, because why not. It is labeled as genres such as Avant-Garde Metal, Digital Hardcore, Breakcore and Noise Rock.

It was released on December 4, 2020, digitally.

## Composition

The rhythm section of the song consists of a ton of different MIDI drum parts and samples, creating a massive wall of chaotic percussion. Stylistically the drums jump between various Metal and Electronic sub-genres, with constantly changing beats and patterns throughout.

Both the bass and rhythm guitar tracks are recorded on an electric bass guitar, as with many other of Negative Øhio's heavier songs. Lead guitar solos are provided by YMRED, with one being recorded specifically for the song, and the other sampled from a Bluefusion song.

The track has a thick spooky atmosphere, which was achieved by combining a ton of different instruments and sounds together. Programmed Synths, heavily affected Harmonica, samples, digital singers and vocal effects are all utilized together to make the song sound as haunted as possible.

The lead vocals themselves are provided by YMRED, who puts on many different silly voices throughout the song along with growling and rapping. Some harmonies and background vocals were also made using virtual singers, and sampled from other songs and public domain media.

The track is composed at 200BPM, and switches between 4/4, 6/4 and 9/4 throughout the song. It has a fairly avant-garde song structure, with no traditional choruses and many unusual interludes.

## Lyrics

The song describes the haunting of a house by The Breakfast Ghosts, describing the haunting from their point of view as they look for anything they can eat. A lot of the lyrics were written by trying to come up with the least appetizing meals possible.

```
[Intro]
Pumpkin pie and roasted spleen, milk and bread and gasoline
(hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
Doesn’t matter what I see
(hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
I just know I gotta eat YOUR FOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!

[Verse 1]
Those burnt waffles smell real nice
I’d like some with some gelatin and fishcakes on
Ho ho!

I don’t need an invitation, I can walk through your walls
Breakfast table buffet, with cereal and meat balls
That stuff on your plate isn’t gonna eat itself
I crave for some blood pudding, I can’t mistake that scent!

[Verse 2]
The graveyard shift has left me hungry as heck
I crave some toasted fruit as a healthy sneck

Don’t be scared, I’m just deadly peckish
Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

It seems the kitchen has been cleaned out
Maybe there's some stuff behind the trash can
Oh look! Some prime rotten cabbage!
Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha!

Uh, so like, umm
*ahem*
  Are you, uh... gonna finish that?
  Maybe?

[Interlude]
Hah! Uh-hah!
Ha ha ha ha ha heh ha ha ha
Heh heh ha heh heh
Heh heh ha heh ho heh
Hah heh ho heh hah heh ho
AH!

Gimme some toast!
Gimme some bratwurst!

[Breakdown]
Oh no, it seems somebody has left the fridge unlocked
I better take with me all this cheese and ketchup before they go to bed
Om nom nom nom

Barbecued macaroni
Frozen pastrami
Pickled salami
Fermented iced tea!?
Boiled salad dressing (hey that sounds dope)
Sun-dried calamari

[Outro]
Hmph!
When you’re out of normal ingredients, you gotta improvise
Let’s see what they have in the rest of this house for some brunch
Yeah!

Fine shoe soles with garlic relish
Deep fried ferns with mozzarella
Silken curtains with salt and jelly
Smoked carpet with shaving cream
Delicious garbage bag pie
Kitty litter mixed in a stir fry
Smartphone circuitry pasta salad
You can’t be too picky when you’re a phantasma

[Ending]
Why would there be a ghost in the fridge!?
