He Is
Ghost; Ghost B.C. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Two star-crossed lovers reaching out to the beast with many names
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be
He is
He is
We're hiding here inside a dream and all our doubts are now destroyed
The guidance of the morning stars will lead the way into the void
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be
He is
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater
He is
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
Insurrection, he is spite, he's the force that made me be
He is
He's the shining and the light without whom I cannot see
And he is
The disobedience that holds us together
He is
Nostro dis pater, nostr' alma mater
And we are falling over the precipice
The lyrics to Ghost's song "He Is" are complex and convey a sense of reverence towards a powerful force or entity. The song opens with a description of a world in chaos, with flames and an abyss looming before the singer. Two lovers, who seem to have an intense connection, are reaching out to this powerful entity with many names - a clear reference to the idea of a god or deity that has permeated human religious and spiritual beliefs throughout history.
The lyrics then dive into an intense description of this being, with the singer declaring that he is the shining light that helps them see clearly, but also the force of insurrection and spite that made the singer who he is. The Latin phrases "Nostro dis pater" and "nostr' alma mater" further add to the sense of ancient reverence and mysticism surrounding this being.
As the song progresses, the singer reveals that they are hiding inside a dream where their doubts are destroyed, and that the guidance of the morning stars will lead them into the void - a clear reference to a mystical journey or transformation. The repetition of the same lines throughout the song, including the final declaration that they are falling into the precipice, create a sense of urgency and inevitability.
Overall, "He Is" is a rich and complex exploration of faith, belief, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world. The lyrics are filled with references to ancient mysticism and religious symbols, and the intense instrumentation and vocals add to the powerful and unrelenting feel of the song.
