Enchanting Ghost Lyrics

We all bring our own subconscious out in our interpretation of songs. When I listen to this song I hear someone so obsessively in love (borderline idolization) that they see themselves as completely inadequate, paling in comparison to their love. The feeling of inadequacy is so strong they're convinced that their lover is better off without them.

...is it not about the Holy Spirit rather than a lover?

pouffle: I dunno...does the Holy Ghost make paperweights?
