(If you are under the age of 17, PLEASE do not look up the real meaning of these lyrics. Thank you.)
I remember hearing the lyrics, "You go down just like Holy Mary..." on TikTok one day and going, "HELLO??? 👀" The suggestiveness of the song paired with the Catholic allusions/imagery had me immediately hooked.
I decided to dedicate this song to my OCs again, the same ones I featured in my cover of "Hellfire" (Listen here: • "HELLFIRE" from The Hu... ). However this time, we get to see more of my demon OC's human form. The idea for these OCs first sprouted when I first listened to annapantsu's cover of "Hellfire" during mid-lockdown in 2020. I ended up going down a rabbit hole of animatics, and then that drove me to make a playlist, and then I ended up on picrew.me/ trying to give my OCs an appearance.
Since I'm not the best at drawing, the picrews I made were the only pieces of art I had of my OCs for a long time. Two of my friends ended up making fanart of my OCs for my 19th birthday, which made me SO freaking happy. It wasn't until I started working with mekarer on art for covers that I was able to have fully fledged depictions of my characters. I'm really excited to be sharing my OCs with y'all, and I'm especially glad I got to do it with this cover and "Hellfire."
If y'all have any questions about my OCs, feel free to ask them in the comments and I'll do my best to answer all of them! I could go on and on about them right now, but then this description would be painfully long to read. I've been wanting to rename my OCs for a while, but I have yet to get to that, so for now you can refer to them as the Nun and the Siren.

😳🤯 DAMN you're vocals are really pretty
Honestly this song hits a lot harder with lesbianism in mind.
"I will tickle you internally, and I see nothing wrong with that"
^ god tier lyrics for allo sapphics. Acceptance and pride of ones sexuality.
"You're beauty never really scared me"
^ overcoming the anxiety of feeling predatory for simply looking at other women by accepting that your feelings are ok and normal.
This song makes me emotional. Its about smoking the devils lettuce. It's about 69ing. It's about the first band you made with your friends. It's about happier times but also loving the present and what you have now. Its about head so good you see god (or satan in the case of ghost). I love songs that contain multitudes.
i need you to know that i'm obsessed with your comment
Oh shit reading that as that part plays in the background i swear i loled
@@JustinesMic 😳👉🏼👈🏼
😢
I'm glad I'm not the only one who saw the sapphic implications in those lines.
Imagine the reaction of a bunch of Puritans trying to burn a witch at a stake and the fire starts making out with her instead.
"oh shit that's kinda hot" "yeah it's fire."
@@lilithtrishlilac4730 this is the ultimate pun
One guy just yells "not again!" and that raises all kinds of questions
@runelessruneless9024 Fake witch hunter who's actually hunting sentient fire to power his furnace.
And the heart just starts glowing
MY OCS HAVE NAMES NOW! The nun is named Magdalena, and the demon is named Judith.
Is that an intentional reference to Mary Magdalene and Judas or am I looking too deep?
@@thephony1651 idk
Oooooooooo noice
How did they meet ?
Is what I was wondering about since I heard the hellfire cover
They are so beautiful together!😍
I love how deep the lyrics can be taken when it comes to a song that, on the surface, is about weed and sex. Really shows the power of clever lyricism, in my opinion.
A lot of people's experiences can also tie into how someone interprets lyrics which is another good thing. Like for example, since I'm transgender and one of my biggest fears is not being accepted romantically, and this song always reads like a comfort of that. That no matter what changes my body goes through, I'll be loved by someone out there.
@@spoopyvirgil4944 SAME SAME SAAAMMMEEE!!
🤡Seeing you here made sick, thank you!
@@KryzysX ?
(Crazy theory) according to the canon, Jesus was put on the cross, not Mary (ofc) I wonder if a partial meaning of pointless sacrifice is present.
“This isn’t right it’s supposed to be me!”(says Jesus, looking at his mother on the cross)
referencing the pointless sacrifice of Mary on a Cross…
…to the pointless sacrifice of the two’s love lasting
“ You go down just like holy Mary (I love the sex) Mary on a Mary on a Cross” (but we both know this love will never do)
(I know crazy theory)
you're literally so iconic for dedicating an entire song to your ocs, that's being SO motivated by your brain thoughts you have to use your raw unfiltered talent to show your love for them. Not to mention but literally making a playlist FOR said characters and then MAKING TWO COVERS FOR THEM!!! Me and my buddy feel SO seen with dedicating music to characters who are lesbians / sapphic in general. I don't know if you take requests, but if you ever do more lesbian / sapphic covers, you should do "Get This Right" from Frozen 2!
"you're literally so iconic " is a gibberish phrase. Don't just vomit words. Make sure they contribute to the message.

@@grabble7605 jeez r u okay
THIS SONG IS SO FUCKING GOOD!!!! YOUR HARMONIES ARE TOP TIER ALWAYS!!!!
this song is racist 😱
@@phoqwu how
@@phoqwu -_-
@@phoqwu :v?
Si
The first time i heard this song i thought It was saying "mariana" instead of "mary on a cross"
perfect cover btw 🛐
Song is actually about drugs. So it should have Sounded like Marijuana
@@sharkberrysh yooo thats actually interesting, maybe ill try to know more about it
Fr Fr.
@@sharkberrysh after I learned this, I re-read and listened to the lyrics again and... damn it gives a whole new meaning to the song.
Oh my god, i tough i was the only one who heard "Mariana" instead of "Mary on a"
THE SINGING?
THE ART?
THE SINGING??
🛐
IKR 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐
All of this from the cover art and the singing, god it just gave me chills. I really love everything about it
Great work as always, Justine! Ghost is fucking amazing! Seriously, anyone who doesn't know them should really give them a chance, all theirs songs are bops! Even if their style or genre of heavy metal doesn't appeal to you, trust me when I say they will surprise you.
The picture is just... I love this art
it makes the girl in the back look like desire from sandman
LoL
@@bramarmo wait, did you say that about the original comment or about mine?
Especially how the Devil (is it the Devil?) Is transfering into a flame! How it is an organic whole). This art actually reminds me of the Ramayana)).
@@ArsenFox yeah, those flames are awesome
"Your beauty never ever scared me"
I think this part is so cute and beautiful at the same time... 💞
Is that religious song, it's so cute❤❤❤
I feel like Judith is singing this song to Magdelena up until this part. Magdelena would sing this line to Judith as a sign she finally accepts her love ❤
i like your interpretation! for me, i think i imagined magdalena singing the entire thing about judith. for me, it has a lot to do with the line “you go down just like holy mary.” magdalena’s describing an act of physical intimacy between her and judith and the revelation it gives her about her former prejudices. for her, this intense emotional and physical closeness to a woman feels sacred, nothing like the “sin” she’s always been told it was. it feels like a weight has just been lifted off her shoulders. it feels like she’s finally found an answer to a question she didn’t even know she had been asking. judith goes down, and magdalena realizes, she’s just like the Holy Mary.
@@JustinesMic First of all, hiiiiii! I never thought you'd reply! I was happy enough to get the heart! Second, the way you talk about these two is always so loving and affectionate (which duh you made them) but I like how you always sound enthusiastic about them. Third, your interpretation is *obviously* canon now because you are the creator, and it also makes more sense when you think about it. Fourth, just had a quick question: whose singing each cover? I always thought Judith sang Mary on a cross, and both Paris paloma covers, and then Magdalena sang Who is she, hellfire, and unholy. I imagined a third background character who's aware of Judith and Magdalena's relationship singing Judas and shipping them, even if it's not really possible 🤣 but as the creator who do you say is singing what? Lastly, never stop what you're doing! I'm so excited for the latest cover featuring these two, and I've began to write a story based around my original songs because I was inspired by this and how creative it is! Seriously I've had not so kid friendly dreams about your ocs so it's safe to say I'm obsessed! Sorry if this comment is too long or if I'm fangirling too much 😅
THIS IS SUCH A BOP, THIS SONG IS ALREADY SO F*CKING GOOD, BUT THIS COVER MADE IT EVEN BETTER ❣️
I swear to God I've been singing "Marianna" ever since I heard the song.
Bro same 😭😭
Lol. That was the intention of Ghost.
@@amy_pieterse oh.
@@amy_pieterseits meant to be like marijuana
@@gaminganimators7000 it's purposefully meant to be interpreted in multiple directions. It's not so much that it's like marijuana, but rather marijuana, mariana, and mary on a. Just a bit of the ol' lyrical trickery
Where you sing is very similar to where I am comfortable singing which always makes your covers of songs I already know and like my new go to's for listening. Absolutely love them!
Wait... These lyrics work so much better as a Sapphic song 🥺
I absolutely adore this you’re voice gives me chills all the way down ahhhh
I’m a huge Ghost fan, since the first album and Mary On A Cross is one of those iconic songs that’s hard to replicate, but you did an awesome job. LOVE IT
Your clean vocals in 2:41 are soooo gooood
Whenever I hear this song I picture two teens who live in a god fearing small town. They frequently would sneak out too a nearby city to have fun and really be themselves. Then one gets scared of fully leaving their town for good and they convinces them by professing their love. Which makes it work even more when they’re gay.
Holy sh*t this is amazing!!! I’m glad Ghost is getting more recognition and also awesome cover!!!
As a sapphic with religious trauma, this hits me so hard, i love it ❤ i love your music
Sapphics with religious trauma who can't get enough of this song UNITE 🤝
Awesome cover and artwork! You've got a strong and beautiful voice.
Planning to look up your OCs' playlist after work--love that kind of stuff! Lately, I've been making playlists for all my main characters in the new-adult magical-girl novel I'm writing. I look forward to more songs about the Nun and Siren!
Fantastic work as always!
One of the best Ghost covers I've heard in general, honestly. Your voice is wonderfully perfect for it. Great job

2:42 sent chills down my spine...your voice is so freaking beautiful dude
One of the best covers I ever seen!
The art is amazing and the vocals are so pretty
I've honestly tried to listen to different reiterations of this song but just could never get into it. I almost didn't give this cover a chance because of it but I'm so happy I did! I really love it sounds so good!
Everyone knows when Justine drops a new religious-inspired cover, it’s time to party.
This is like my favorite song rn OMG!! I’m so excited 🎉
U little Hell Raiser, this is great
Congratulations to 100 000 subscribers!
OH. MY. GOD.
I ONLY *JUST* FOUND YOU AND I CANT BELIEVE IVE BEEN LIVING WITHOUT YOUR COVERS
can you do a cover of “why don’t you do right” or “running up that hill” because your voice is too magical to pass up on these sing, you’ve made every cover so unique so I *really* wanna know what you’d do with these songs
Ok, thank you, love your voice 🥰😊💖
I'll jam to this for months
When I was drawing my graphic novel back in high school (1993) I wish this song existed then because it fits so well…. As it does now in my life…
Gorgeous singing as always, also, kinda want that characters hair- amazing cover art 💖
This is amazing. I think I actively love this more than the original!!
Another fantastic cover 🥰
"Be the rainbow drinker. Get all the ladies."
It's not a rainbow btw
I love this cover as much as the original! It really makes me long for a young romance that I never had.
