Holy Water
Peter and the Wolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deer to lead us to the river, we'll sleep here tonight
Maybe let's go swimming, yeah I think it's time
Holy water, holy water, clear my troubled mind
God I'm glad I met you, life was getting old
But you like me and my dark poetry, and you're happy when it's cold
Lucky are the lovers walking to the light
Holy water, holy water, we'll sleep here tonight
The song "Holy Water" by Peter and the Wolf starts with a beautiful imagery of nature. Wind and moon become sources of music and light while a deer becomes their guide, leading them to the river where they decide to camp for the night. The lyrics hint towards a feeling of restlessness and an urge to escape the mundane, the singer expresses his desire to cleanse his mind through the water, seeking something spiritual or holy that could bring him inner peace.
The second verse talks about the singer's encounter with someone special, someone who appreciates the darker side of life and their art. It's someone who has given the singer a new meaning or direction in life, and they feel blessed to have met this person. The final verse talks about lovers walking towards light, which could be interpreted both literally, as they walk towards the moonlight, or metaphorically as they walk towards a better, brighter future. Yet they find solace in the holy water, which calms their minds and lets them sleep peacefully.
Overall, the song is a beautiful blend of nature and spirituality, highlighting a search for something transformative that could bring the singer and his beloved inner peace.

Agreed! Lightness is about to go forever out of print too, so head over to his Bandcamp (link in the description) and get it. Absolutely beautiful music, and Red is a really chill person too - I e-mailed him once about how much I love his music and he sent back a gel pen drawing of Mellow Owl together with my CD.

Buy it, it's pretty cheap. Artists like Red deserve to have their music bought.
