Holy Ghost
Two Weeks Running Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
watch the boats wash up upon the shore
laugh with a ribbon tied around your door
makes you think what we're all fighting for
everything that stops us have a gun
underneath the burning of the sun
caried the weight and it feels like it weighs a tone
all you like no distance left to run
the means that you are risking
ive still got more the kisses
maybe im the most
fireball ghost
from coast to coast
maybe im the most
fireball ghost
from coast to coast
from coast to coast
both the prey are looking for a sign
all your life you've read between the lines
your living in dark and your never gonna see the light
and if your living in the light then you never gonna really shine
those words will not be twisted
the means that you are risking
you've asked for me a misses
maybe im the most
fireball ghost
from coast to coast
maybe im the most
fireball ghost
from coast to coast
from coast to coast

The lyrics of Two Weeks Running's "Holy Ghost" seem to be about the futility of war and fighting, and the longing for love and peace. The opening lines "Lets all fall in love and go to war/ watch the boats wash up upon the shore" suggest a sense of irony, as these two things are usually thought of as opposite, but could also mean that love and war are intertwined. The next few lines talk about the confusion and the need for clarity in what we are fighting for, as well as the weight of the responsibility we carry as humans. The chorus talks about the singer being the "fireball ghost" that travels from coast to coast, implying a restlessness and the search for something.
The second verse seems to be about the struggle to find meaning in life and the difficulty of seeing the light in the darkness. The last lines repeat the chorus, with the singer still searching but unsure if they will find what they are looking for. Overall, the lyrics carry a powerful message about the importance of love and peace, and the struggle to find it in a world that is full of conflict.
