“As One Global Ghost” explores the possibility that plasma is more than a physical state of matter, but part of the animating spirit that connects all living things.
The song imagines humanity encountering plasma beings or biblically accurate angels, entities that appear strange and overwhelming yet deliver the simple instruction: “Be not afraid.”
From there, the song turns the question back toward us. If these beings were to meet us at the end of our lives, what would they see? What would they say when they looked at our deeds? And what happens when those same questions are applied to humanity as a whole?
The phrase “As One Global Ghost” was inspired by Library of the Untold, after Joey Phipps used the phrase during an episode discussing plasma and angel beings. Shaun Zizi’s wife encouraged the expansion of the song’s original concept to incorporate plasma, opening the door to a broader exploration of consciousness, life, death, and the nature of the beings that may exist beyond our ordinary perception.
At its core, the song is both a cosmic thought experiment and a moral question. If we are all animated by the same underlying force, what does that make us? And if something greater than ourselves is watching, what will it see when it looks at the way we lived?

As One Global Ghost (feat. Joey P. (Library of the Untold)) by King of Cups – DistroKid
“As One Global Ghost” asks us to consider the possibility that the universe is far stranger, more interconnected, and more alive than we normally perceive.
Lyrics
Am I just a ghost
In this fleshy cell
Is there something more
Beyond this shell
My heads in the clouds
Hear them calling loud
We all must riposte
As one global ghost
They will say
Be not afraid
What will they see
When the time comes for us
What will they see
When they look at our deeds
Where do we go?
What will we see?
At the end of you and me
Where do we go?
What will we see?
At the end of you and me
We all must riposte
As one global ghost
My heads in the clouds
Hear them calling loud
We all must riposte
As one global ghost
They will say
Be not afraid
What will they see
When the time comes for us
What will they say
When they look at our deeds
Where do we go?
What will we see?
At the end of you and me
Where do we go?
What will we see?
At the end of you and me
We all must riposte
As one global ghost
Where do we go?
What will we see?
At the end of you and me
What should we do?
Who should we be?
With the life of you and me
What will they see
When the time comes for us
What will they say
When they look at our deeds
Where do we go?
What will we see?
At the end of you and me
Where do we go?
What will we see?
At the end of you and me
We all must riposte
As one global ghost
Should we be not afraid?
Be not afraid

Get ready to plug into the electrifying world of King of Cups, the rising force shaking up the modern alt scene. Once known as Black It Out, the band has reinvented itself and blasted out of the ashes of Scarlet’s Sonata with a renewed fire — and the results are absolutely explosive.
This Pop-Rock / Pop-Punk / Emo-Pop powerhouse duo — the unstoppable Sugar Shaun and the incomparable BryGuy — deliver ear-hook riffs, soaring melodies, and shout-along lyrics built to live rent-free in your head. Add in the thunderous low-end of incredible bassist Tyler Wolter and the high-octane precision of phenomenal drummer Kevin Prince, and King of Cups becomes a full-force sonic storm. Influenced by Story of the Year, Jimmy Eat World, Life on Repeat, and Senses Fail, they’ve carved out a magnetic, unmistakable sound that hits hard and sticks with you.
Their momentum is already undeniable — they’ve captured attention from radio stations worldwide, including KRXQ 98 Rock, Alyx Plays Punk, and Squatch In The Pit. They’ve also shared stages with national acts like Mozart Season and Heartshed, proving they can hold their own with the best. On top of that, their music has been featured in top outlets such as New Noise, Vents Magazine, Music Crowns, and more.
And through it all, King of Cups stays true to the heart of their mission: writing music that speaks directly to the people who need it. Their critically acclaimed single “Lighthouse” even earned high praise from Real Gone Rocks, who called it “pretty much perfect.” Now, with the highly anticipated Elemental album on the horizon, the buzz around them is reaching a fever pitch — and it’s clear they’re gearing up to take the world by storm.
So don’t wait — join the movement. Follow King of Cups and get swept up in their unstoppable energy, unforgettable hooks, and the electrifying ride that’s only just getting started.
