See the Light
Ghost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Many a sin I have witnessed
And in many indeed I have been
Many a rat I have befriended
And so many a thorn stood between

But of all the demons I have known
None could compare to you
Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger
Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger

Drink me, eat me
Then you'll see the light
Drink me, eat me
Then you'll see the light

Many a mind I have haunted
And in many a way I have been
Often the one to have flaunted
An image grotesque and obscene

But of all these dark roads that I roam
None could compare to you

Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger
Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger

Drink me, eat me
Then you'll see the light
Drink me, eat me
Then you'll see the light

Drink me, eat me
Then you'll see the light
Drink me, eat me
Then you'll see the light

Every day (Drink me)
That you feed me with hate (Eat me)
I grow stronger (Then you'll see the light)
Every day (Drink me)




That you feed me with hate (Eat me)
I grow stronger (Then you'll see the light)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ghost's See the Light are dark and disturbing, discussing the singer's experience with sin, demons, and haunted thoughts. The song is about being consumed with hate and being driven to become stronger by it. The lyrics suggest that the only way to see the light is to drink and eat whatever the singer is offering, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for succumbing to evil.


The first verse talks about the many sins the singer has witnessed and taken part in and the thorns that stood in between. They then reveal that of all the demons they have known, none can compare to the person they're addressing in the song, suggesting that this person is perhaps the embodiment of evil. The pre-chorus talks about how every day the person feeds the singer with hate, they grow stronger, and the chorus repeats the line "Drink me, eat me, then you'll see the light."


The second verse further emphasizes the singer's experience with darkness, revealing that they have haunted many minds and flaunted grotesque and obscene images. However, once again, the person being addressed tops them all in terms of darkness. The pre-chorus and chorus repeat, almost like a mantra, with the addition of the line "Every day that you feed me with hate I grow stronger."


Overall, the lyrics are quite disturbing and evoke a feeling of unease as they address the concept of succumbing to evil, seeking strength from hate and darkness, and the idea that to see the light, one must consume something twisted and possibly dangerous.
