(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.
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!😍
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
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
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!

(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 this is not journalism or a professional review. This is a UA-cam comment. Calm down. OP was expressing their excitement & enjoyment of the art & the artist.
@@grabble7605 jeez r u okay
I swear to God I've been singing "Marianna" ever since I heard the song.
Bro same 😭😭
Lol. That was the intention of Ghost.
@@amypieterse4127 oh.
@@amypieterse4127its 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
hello, as a long-repressed sapphic, this gives me strength.
i write sometimes, i really, really love this song, this cover, all of it! its helped me so much working on my own things that inspiration took hold and i just couldnt help myself.
She pulled another slow draft of air into her lungs, the staler monastery atmosphere sitting about her like some great larger thing, its weight on her shoulders. Magdalena stared, gaze passing silently through shards of light that bled from the window, dust fluttering about as motes fell from the ceiling. A great fire burned through her, an inferno consuming flesh and bone and thought in its screaming tide, licking at the porcelain skin of her face and hands. She sat unmoved, but the feelings were irrepressible, asking her, begging her to act on them. Magdalena looked down, eyes focused on the irregular bumps of cut stone, almost feeling a kinship to one brick that sat at an angle, cement having filled its gap a smidge too deep, leaving it to sit out of line with the rest. A wry smile, eyes fluttering back to her hands as she shook her head. Magdalena pulled her hands together with every touch of effort that she had, pressing them together before her fingers interlaced into a two-handed fist. She brought them up, setting her nose to the knuckle as she took another deep breath.
"Lord, forgive me of all my sins. I confess everything, I believe with my heart and with undeniable faith. I open the door of my heart to thou, come and save me. Wash my soul clean, write my name in your book of life. Amen." She whispered, but she did not look up, the last word leaving her lips almost begrudgingly as her head hung and her hands fell apart. She felt nothing above her, nothing divine, a silence. Of course, it was a test of her faith, surely. It was a question of her strength, her place, her will, but she felt herself faltering with every breath, soft fingertips and long, midnight hair pervasive in her thoughts. Inescapable. The longing for her warmth, her smile, her beautifully sculpted eyes that swirled with an enticing danger, the gentler swoops of her figure, the comforting feel of gentle and understanding arms about her waist... She shook her head, trying to clear it of the growing desire that left a mounting warmth in her chest. It was unacceptable, blasphemous, her faith had been solid for decades, why now did she question it?
Why now did she find herself falling into a heretical love?
it’s reading comments like this that makes me so glad that i shared my ocs with my audience. as someone who made these ocs a while back as a silly thing, and eventually found great meaning in the characters, seeing people make stuff about them touches my heart. truly, deeply, thank you. 💗
would you be ok if i shared this on my toyhou.se with credit? here’s a direct link to my profile: toyhou.se/justinesmic
bye i’m screaming and kicking my feet right now i love this so much
@@JustinesMic oh! absolutely! I don't need credit haha, please just put the name as V if you do. and I'm glad! I write just in the hopes to make people's days a little better, I'm so utterly flabbergasted that it worked!
I'll do my best to parse together some more on your next cover, this one was a quickie after all. your characters were just so neat and the thumbnail is ICONIC and I'm utterly in love with your singing, it was the least I could do.
you wanna write MORE?? do you have twitter or tumblr by any chance because omg /pos
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"
THIS SONG IS SO FUCKING GOOD!!!! YOUR HARMONIES ARE TOP TIER ALWAYS!!!!
this song is racist 😱
@@phoqwu how

THE SINGING??

IKR 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐
THIS IS SUCH A BOP, THIS SONG IS ALREADY SO F*CKING GOOD, BUT THIS COVER MADE IT EVEN BETTER ❣️
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.
All of this from the cover art and the singing, god it just gave me chills. I really love everything about it
This nearly brought a tear to my eye because me and friend had the idea that our OCs made a cover of this song that sounded just like this about a month ago.
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
I. Need. More. Ghost covers!!! **vibrates in obsessed fangirl** /j
Yes it’s you again, does this give off lesbian vibes?
Absolutely
We were speeding together
Down the dark avenues
But besides of the stardom
All we got was blues
But through all of that sorrow
We were riding high
And the truth of the matter is
I never let you go, let you go
We were scanning the cities
Rocking to pay the dues
But besides of the glamour
All we got was bruised
But through all of that sorrow
We were riding high
And the truth of the matter is
I never let you go, let you go
You go down just like Holy Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Not just another Bloody Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
If you choose to run away with me
I will tickle you internally
And I see nothing wrong with that
We were searching for reasons
To play by the rules
But we quickly found
It was just for fools
Now through all of this sorrow
We'll be riding high
And the truth of the matter is
I never let you go, let you go
You go down just like Holy Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Not just another Bloody Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a
You go down just like Holy Mary
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
Your beauty never ever scared me
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
If you choose to run away with me
I will tickle you internally
And I see nothing wrong with that
Nothing wrong with that
(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)
Nothing wrong with that
(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)
(Mary on a) Mary on a cross
I absolutely adore this you’re voice gives me chills all the way down ahhhh
Wait... These lyrics work so much better as a Sapphic song 🥺
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!
Gay nun energy

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!
