Who goes there, it's the ghost of october
Summer is over, now I'm going nowhere
Who holds her, it's not me i'm a loner
But I don't wanna go, go, go there
You're sober, that's not me I'm a stoner
I prefer it when the world moves slower
I come from the snow, it's cold, cold, colder
It's baaaad, it's baaaaad
You don't know what I am, I'm a sick man
And this world feel so distant
But today I'm feeling so indiffrent
Every friday is Halloween
My week is a dream
I'm just working in my sleep
By any means I be low-key
I'm gonna need a reason to be seen
All the prayers for nothing :(
No touching, I find it discusting
Flying in my lane with my cousin
Why they buggin, I don't do discussion
I'm on an airplane to London
They want something from me all of a sudden
I'll come up when I'm summoned
I heard everything was gonna change but it wasn't
Who goes there, it's the ghost of october
Summer is over, now I'm going nowhere
Who holds her, it's not me i'm a loner
But I don't wanna go, go, go there
You're sober, that's not me I'm a stoner
I prefer it when the world moves slower
Who goes there, it's just me I'm a soldier
I come from the snow, it's cold, cold, colder
Who goes there, it's the ghost of october
Summer is over, now I'm going nowhere
Who holds her, it's not me i'm a loner
But I don't wanna go, go, go there
You're sober, that's not me I'm a stoner
I prefer it when the world moves slower
Who goes there, it's just me I'm a soldier
I come from the snow, it's cold, cold, colder
Overall Meaning
The opening line, "Who goes there, it's the ghost of October," sets the tone for Bladee's song "Who Goes There." The lyrics are spoken from the perspective of a loner who just lost his only romantic interest. "Summer is over, now I'm going nowhere," meaning that he feels lost and directionless now that his summer (a metaphor for his relationship) is over. He's aware that he's alone but still doesn't want to be near anyone else. "But I don't wanna go, go, go there / You're sober, that's not me I'm a stoner / I prefer it when the world moves slower," shows that he is aware that he's not like everyone else, and he doesn't belong where people are sober and in a rush. He prefers a slower pace and a world that is more chaotic.
The second verse seems to be about his current state of mind. He's feeling indifferent and distant from the world, and he's working all the time. Even though every Friday is like Halloween to him, it doesn't bring him any joy or excitement. He's a loner and prefers it that way, but he's aware that people want things from him, and he has to be on his guard all the time. He's waiting to be "summoned" even though he knows that everything is bound to change.
Overall, "Who Goes There" shows Bladee's feelings of loneliness, detachment, and indifference. He's aware that he's different from other people and that he's not interested in the things they find important. He's struggling to find his place in the world and is waiting for something to happen that will give him a sense of purpose and direction.

I'm on an airplane to London

People only seem to want my attention or affection when it is convenient for them, and I am tired of being used
I'll come up when I'm summoned
Despite my reluctance to engage with others, I will respond when summoned, as I cannot ignore them forever
I heard everything was gonna change but it wasn't
Despite promises and rumors, nothing really changes or gets better, and I am left disappointed and disillusioned
