‪#‎ldat40‬ Day 15 Ghost, Ella Henderson

On the surface this is a song about how the specter of a complicated relationship haunts someone. Ella sings,

Each time that I think you go
I turn around and you're creeping in
And I let you under my skin
'Cause I love living in the sin

This seems like a bad thing. Ella uses baptismal images through the chorus. 

I keep going to the river to pray
'Cause I need something that can wash all the pain
And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away
But your ghost, the ghost of you
It keeps me awake

So I wonder, what if the ghost were the Holy Ghost? How does that change the song? There have been plenty of times when I have been pulled by the relentless nature of the Holy Spirit.

What do you think?
