Holy Ghost
BŘRNS Lyrics

Baby, baby, baby
Repetition emphasizing the longing and desire towards the subject.

I was scared of being lost in love
Admission of fear regarding being in love, perhaps in a relationship where love is not returned or expected to last.

I crave it on the daily
Constant yearning for companionship and intimacy.

That sugar pill that dosed me up
Comparison to being addicted to love, with the highs and eventual crashes like the effects of a drug.

Oh, it's raining it's pouring
Setting the mood and theme of melancholic longing through the stormy weather imagery.

I picture you in the morning
Imagination and daydreaming about the subject being present in the morning and possibly beyond just the physical sense.

The hot water and the steam
Sensory detail adding to the intimate imagery of a lover's morning routine.

Oh the way that you feel between Both my hands, on your hourglass
Describing the physical touch and the passage of time, with an implicit suggestion that the touch is fleeting and time is a precious commodity when with the subject.

Hours pass, I wanna watch you bloom
Desire to witness and be a part of the subject's growth and development experience, as well as a willingness to invest time and effort to do so.

Gimme that sweet perfume
Request for the subject to share a part of themselves, their scent, as an act of intimacy and closeness.

It's making my heart beat so fast In my mind, you're the angel on the painted glass
Emotional and mental reactions to the sight and thought of the subject, the metaphor of the angel on painted glass adding to the perceived fragility and beauty of the image.

Looking for high, divine, connection
Search for a deeper, more spiritual and meaningful bond between the subject and the artist, one that transcends mere romantic or physical attraction.

I'm a lover, in need of confession
Admittance of vulnerability and the need to express one's feelings and desires to the subject, as if confessing a secret or a sin.

Let me satisfy your soul
Offer to fulfill the subject's emotional and spiritual needs, to become a source of contentment and happiness in their life.

Not a saint, but do I have to be?
Admission of faults and imperfections, questioning the expectation of perfect behavior and morality in love and relationships.

Well baby, you're my holy ghost
Comparison to the subject being a spiritual embodiment, a guiding presence and source of inspiration in the artist's life.

And I need you close, come back to me
Expression of how essential and valuable the subject is to the artist's well-being and happiness.

I fantasize and I pray
Merging sexuality and spirituality, with the subject being the focus of the singer's sexual and religious desires.

I'm thirsty for your ecstasy
Desperate longing for the pleasure and joy that comes from being with the subject, especially in emotional and sensual terms.

So open up your heavenly gates
Imagery of religious and spiritual metaphors, with the artist pleading for an opportunity to be with the subject.

Oh, your tenderness is paradise
Praise for the subject's gentle and affectionate behavior, elevating their presence to a state of blissful joy.

Baby take me there and I will worship at your feet
Submission and devotion to the subject, offering unconditional love and reverence for their affection and intimacy.

You can have my soul to keep
Offering of the singer's self and identity, surrendering to the subject's influence and direction.

Let me satisfy your wide awake soul
Explicit desire to fulfill the subject's desires and needs, with the modification of 'wide awake' suggesting an intensity and urgency in their cravings.

No I don't care if it's blasphemy
Dismissal of social and religious norms, as the singer's love and longing transcend and defy such labels and boundaries.

'Cause baby, you're my holy ghost
Final affirmation of the subject's importance and holiness in the singer's own belief system, with a deep and meaningful connection beyond physical attraction.

And I need you close, come back to me
Reiteration of the singer's reliance and devotion to the subject to end the song.
