Holy Ghost
Embracer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Water breaking at my levy
No closer to heaven
Dragging me down as I wash my feet
In holy waters, drag me to the deep
Hail Mary, Mother of God
I must confess for my wrongs
Devil's coming for a price to be paid
Sinners, let's go down
Let′s go down
Let′s go down
Sinners, let's go down
And wash away with our Father′s
Blistered from the labor
The toil is never done
There's no rest for the wicked
Brother have you heard?
A storm is coming
And I think this is the end
And grace was the hand
That I bit every time I was fed
This is hell
This is hell
This is hell
This is hell
Hail Mary, Mother of God
I must confess for my wrongs
The flood′s coming, I don't think I′ll be saved
Devil's coming for a price to be paid
The lyrics of Embracer's song "Holy Ghost" depict a sense of inner struggle, guilt, and impending doom. The opening lines suggest a burden that has become too heavy to bear, symbolized by the cross. The water breaking at the levee represents emotions overwhelming the singer. Despite seeking solace in holy waters, they feel dragged down to the depths, emphasizing a sense of weight and despair.
The reference to the Hail Mary prayer portrays a desperate plea for forgiveness and redemption. The singer acknowledges their wrongdoings and confesses their sins, possibly in anticipation of a coming flood or calamity. They express doubt about being saved and acknowledge that the devil is coming to exact a price for their actions.
The chorus invites sinners to go down, possibly referring to descending into the depths of their guilt and shame. The repetition of the phrase signifies a collective acknowledgment of their flaws and the need for spiritual purification. The reference to washing away with their Father's suggests seeking forgiveness and cleansing from a higher power.
The following verses continue to reflect the singer's anguish and exhaustion. They feel blistered from their labor, implying emotional and mental fatigue. The mention of "no rest for the wicked" further emphasizes their inner turmoil. The impending storm serves as a metaphor for impending disaster, and the singer believes that this might be the end. They acknowledge that grace, symbolized by the hand that feeds them, was rejected in the past, possibly indicating a pattern of self-sabotage.
Overall, "Holy Ghost" explores themes of guilt, punishment, and the consequences of one's actions. The lyrics convey a deep sense of spiritual conflict, as the singer grapples with their inner demons and the fear of impending doom.
