Holy Ghost
COIN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been the softest simple
You've barely seen my ways
That I've been making circles
Nearly all my days

It's all in magazines
It's on the wet concrete
Somehow I saw it coming
But now I'm caught between

And I was always running from you
Hiding what you had as a .??

But I'm not your holy ghost
When your wrists are bound
It's a deadly sin to give a man that crown
You can't say all hope was lost
When it was never found
Let it settle in, let it settle down?? not some messy shittin'?? some daring fates
A broken stain glass window
Our eyes still bleed the same

It's all in magazines
It's on the wet concrete
Somehow I saw it coming
But now I'm caught between

And I was always running from you
And I was always running from you

But I'm not your holy ghost
When your wrists are bound
It's a deadly sin to give a man that crown
You can't say all hope was lost
When it was never found
Let it settle in, let it settle down

I'm not your savior
I'm not your savior?????????????? maker
I'm not your savior

Woo ooh ooh, oo
Woo ooh ooh ooh oo
Woo ooh ooh, oo
Woo ooh ooh ooh oo

But I'm not your holy ghost
When your wrists are bound
It's a deadly sin to give a man that crown
You can't say all hope was lost
When it was never found
Let it settle in, let it settle down





Ooo...

Overall Meaning

In COIN's song "Holy Ghost," the lyrics convey the story of feeling trapped between two contradictory worlds. The singer notes that they have been soft and simple, and unnoticed by others. They have been making circles, going round and round, rather than moving forward with a purpose. The singer sees everything that is happening in the world around them, both in the media and on the streets, but they are now caught in a difficult position.


The lyrics suggest that the singer has been running from something, hiding from someone, all along. Despite that, the singer confidently states that they are not the "holy ghost" that some may have expected them to be. When the wrists are bound, it is a deadly sin to give any man a crown. The singer suggests that hope was never lost, despite some people believing otherwise, and that it is time to allow things to settle in and settle down.
