ZOLITA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your the only one who can make me pray
I fall at your feet, your breath defined
And underneath my skins intrinsic shrine
Mm mm
Drink my tears, i'm at your mercy
I love you most, but i'm not worthy
Cause your love is holy
Is holy
I can fight but the devil wins
And i will fall like i sin new sins
Forgive me father i am weak
And it's not forgiveness that i seek
Mm mm
Drink my tears, i'm at your mercy
I love you most, but i'm not worthy
I'll give my soul, sacrifice me
Cause your love is holy
Is holy
I'd rather drown in the ocean
Wither on the shore
Undying devotion, feel you in my core
Feneration, [?] got me high
Nothing without you, live for you t'ill i die
T'ill i die, t'ill i die, t'ill i die, t'ill i die, t'ill i die oh whoaa
Drink my tears, i'm at your mercy
I love you most, but i'm not worthy
I'll give my soul, sacrifice me
Cause your love is holy
Is holy
Your love is holy
Your love is holy
Your love is holy
Your love is
(your love)
The song Holy by ZOLITA is a hauntingly beautiful and deeply emotional ode to love and devotion. The lyrics of the song suggest that the singer is completely enamored by her lover, to the point where she is willing to fall at her feet and sacrifice her own soul for her love. The singer sees her lover as a divine being, one whose love is holy and worth worshipping. The use of religious imagery throughout the song adds to the overall sense of devotion and sacrifice.
The opening lyrics of the song, "Worship your body as you walk my way, Your the only one who can make me pray," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is utterly entranced by her lover and sees her as a higher being. The line "I fall at your feet, your breath defined" further emphasizes this point, as the singer is submitting herself completely to her lover's will. The phrase "underneath my skins intrinsic shrine" adds an element of sensuality to the song, suggesting that the singer's physical attraction to her lover is just as powerful as her emotional one.
The chorus of the song reiterates the sense of devotion and sacrifice felt by the singer. She is willing to give up everything for her lover, even her own soul. The line "I love you most, but I'm not worthy" suggests that the singer sees herself as unworthy of her lover's affections, adding to the overall sense of desperation felt throughout the song. The closing lines of the song, "Your love is holy, your love is holy, your love is holy," hammer home the idea that the singer's lover is a divine being worthy of worship.
Overall, Holy is a powerful and emotional song that captures the extremes of love and devotion. It is a hauntingly beautiful ode to the power of love and the lengths that people will go to for the ones they care about.

I'm going to assume you didn't know that I was gay.
I'm saying that I love Hayley and I love Zolita, and they're both beautiful gay women who often do videos/songs about other women. Wouldn't it be nice if they teamed up?
I literally don't know how this is comparable to a straight person saying two gay people should bang or that they're all the same. There are so few gay artists, Zolita and Hayley collabing could bring their audiences together and create more/better music.
If Zolita is already making vids with other women as her love interest, and if Hayley is doing the same, why don't they make a duo song playing each other's LI? The song would be a breakthrough; I literally don't think I've ever heard two gay women sing about being in a relationship together. And yes, straight people do that constantly-- both Close and Closer (coincidentally), as two random examples. I'm saying I want a gay version of that.
I seriously can't believe I was just compared to straight fetishists/homophobes because I want gay music.
