Lover
Story of a Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tears and blood had fed your children.
All these sins within your temple
Made it look like you were guilty...
So I said Lover...
Lover,
I've got demons
None other.
So just give in.
You're mine...
Your daily bread and water made you hungry.
Flesh and bones just made you weak.
So you ate a dragon most egregious,
A feast to break you from the meek.
Cause I said Lover...
(Chorus)
You are mine...
Give in...
You are mine...
Crushed you til you turned to diamond,
Beautiful and blemish free.
All you needed were disciples...
Just a dozen souls to feed
This monster, Lover...
(Chorus)
Don't fear.
You're mine.
Give in.
You are mine."
The lyrics of the Song "Lover" by Story of a Ghost are intriguing and have different interpretations. The singer talks about a lover who has had a rough life, full of pain, suffering, and mistakes that have transformed her into a person who feels guilty for her past actions. The "friction" has left this person "so lackluster," and the "tears and blood" have nourished her children. The singer says that the woman's temple has so many sins that she looks guilty, but at the same time, he calls her "Lover" and asks her to give in since he has demons that are just for her.
The second verse talks about how the woman's daily bread and water have made her hungry, and her flesh and bones have made her weak. To satiate her hunger, the woman ate a dragon, which according to the lyrics, made her stronger and influenced her transformation. The chorus repeats the phrase "Lover, I’ve got demons that are just for you, none other, so just give in" and establishes a dominant-submissive relationship. The lyrics talk about an irresistible force that the lover can't resist and must abide by, stating, "You are mine... Give in... You are mine... Don't fear. You're mine. Give in. You are mine."
