Thholyghst
††† Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I come inside you and haunt your dreams
Baby I don't mind, you can fake it
But I don't mind, come away with me.
You make a godly servant
Protect your bible between your knees
Baby I won't mind, let me play with it
The funeral party favorite
I'm the ghost in the human shape
Baby I don't mind if you play with me
I don't mind, run away with me.
We'll drink from the waves and feel our souls,
Fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls.
Get drunk on the waves, reveal our souls
Fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls
I know when the angel calls you
You'll cross your fingers then fall asleep
Baby I don't mind if you play with me
I don't mind, come away with me
We'll drink from the waves and feel our souls,
We'll fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls.
Get drunk on the waves, reveal our souls
We fall asleep on the graves and seal our souls.
The lyrics of †††’s song Thholyghst explore themes of sexuality, religion, and death. The first two lines of the song, "Here on this stainless table/ I come inside you and haunt your dreams" evoke a sense of sexual tension and perhaps dominance. The mention of a "stainless table" could be a reference to a sterile medical facility which further emphasizes the power dynamic between the two people involved. The next two lines, "Baby I don't mind, you can fake it/ But I don't mind, come away with me" suggest that the singer is willing to entertain falsehoods in exchange for a relationship or connection. The repetition of the phrase "I don't mind" throughout the song highlights the singer's willingness to overlook certain things in order to be with this person.
The next verse shifts to religious imagery as the singer describes the other person as a "godly servant" and encourages them to "protect [their] bible between [their] knees". The mention of the Bible between their knees hints at both sexual subjugation and perhaps a sense of piety or purity. The singer then asks the other person to "play with it" which could either be interpreted as a sexual come-on or a suggestion to question their religious beliefs. The chorus of the song features the line "I'm the ghost in the human shape" which further complicates the themes of religion and death present in the lyrics. It suggests that the singer might be a devil or demon.
Overall, the lyrics of Thholyghst are intentionally vague and open to interpretation. They suggest a complex, possibly illicit relationship between two people and various spiritual and emotional entanglements.

Chino is such a talented musician. He has a metal band, three totally distinct electronic projects, and lots of other collabs and features. I think he is one of the best rock lyricists ever, plus a dynamic singer who sings with so much emotion. He is a poet with a great voice for loud screamy, beautiful, haunting, hopelessness, hopefulness, dark, sexy, or whatever else the song needs. Wow.
@narwhalxeatsxcake
I didn't think I would like this band, but I was wrong. So wrong. They're so good!
