Holy
Dresage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You dig me into your skin
And I will make a home there
You know I'd give you all you wanted, I'd do anything to have it
I can't do your homework, I'm just screaming from inside my throat
Sometimes
Left in Hollywood
Nothing is overanalyzed, I'll keep you safe at night
Chasing the holy rollers
Through the freeway fights
Too many moments paralyzed
No one is sane, I'll keep you safe tonight
We never learn the lesson
But watch it surprise us still
Yeah history is lonely
If I just gave you all my body, would you even wanna hold it?
I cant love me for you
Felt the mercy breaking out of my chest
In this life
There aint no holy angels
Left in Hollywood
Nothing is overanalyzed, I'll keep you safe at night
Chasing the holy rollers
Through the freeway fights
Too many moments paralyzed
No one is sane, I'll keep you safe tonight
What if we don't find a way out and nothing is found?
It don't make sense anymore
But you and I can find a way to fight and stay up all night
It don't make sense anymore
We don't care what she looks like! As long as she's attractive
There aint no holy angels
Left in Hollywood
Nothing is overanalyzed, I'll keep you safe at night
Chasing the holy rollers
Through the freeway signs
Too many moments paralyzed
No one is sane, I'll keep you safe tonight

Line by Line Meaning
You hold me like a weapon
You treat me as a tool to achieve your objectives
You dig me into your skin
You cling to me so tightly that it hurts
And I will make a home there
I will stay with you because it feels comfortable and familiar
You know I'd give you all you wanted, I'd do anything to have it
You are aware that I would satisfy all your needs and desires, and do whatever it takes to make it happen
I can't do your homework, I'm just screaming from inside my throat
I cannot do your work for you, I am only expressing my emotions
Sometimes
At times
There aint no holy angels Left in Hollywood
There are no pure or innocent individuals in Hollywood anymore
Nothing is overanalyzed, I'll keep you safe at night
We won't overthink anything and I'll protect you from harm while you are asleep
Chasing the holy rollers Through the freeway fights
Pursuing religious fanatics amidst traffic congestion and violence
Too many moments paralyzed No one is sane, I'll keep you safe tonight
We are frozen with fear and insanity is rampant, but I will still protect you tonight
We never learn the lesson But watch it surprise us still
We fail to learn from past mistakes, but are still amazed by the consequences
Yeah history is lonely
The past is unaccompanied and desolate
If I just gave you all my body, would you even wanna hold it?
If I offered you my physical self, would you even appreciate it?
I cant love me for you
I cannot have affection for both of us
Felt the mercy breaking out of my chest In this life
I experienced compassion overflowing from my heart while living
What if we don't find a way out and nothing is found?
What if we cannot escape and there is no resolution?
It don't make sense anymore But you and I can find a way to fight and stay up all night
It doesn't seem logical anymore, but we can still make an effort together to resist and remain awake
We don't care what she looks like! As long as she's attractive
We do not care about her physical appearance! Only her beauty is important
There aint no holy angels Left in Hollywood
There are no pure or innocent individuals in Hollywood anymore
Nothing is overanalyzed, I'll keep you safe at night
We won't overthink anything and I'll protect you from harm while you are asleep
Chasing the holy rollers Through the freeway signs
Pursuing religious fanatics amidst directional signage
Too many moments paralyzed No one is sane, I'll keep you safe tonight
We are frozen with fear and insanity is rampant, but I will still protect you tonight
