H.O.L.Y. By Florida Georgia Line Interpretation


This is my interpretation of the song H.O.L.Y. by Florida Georgia Line.

[Verse 1]
When the sun had left and the winter came
And the sky fall could only bring the rain
I sat in darkness, all broken hearted
I couldn't find a day I didn't feel alone
I never meant to cry, started losing hope
But somehow baby, you broke through and saved me


This girl is the silver lining of his life.

[Pre-Chorus]
You're an angel, tell me you're never leaving
Cause you're the first thing I know I can believe in


He believes that this girl is a person of exemplary conduct or virtue.

[Chorus]
You're holy, holy, holy, holy
I'm high on loving you, high on loving you
You're holy, holy, holy, holy
I'm high on loving you, high on loving you


In addition to the pre-chorus, he thinks that this girl is sacred. Being in love has an effect of giving a person a "high," which is obviously what he is feeling right now with this girl.

[Verse 2]
You made the brightest days from the darkest nights
You're the river bank where I was baptized
Cleanse all the demons

That were killing my freedom
Let me lay you down, give me to ya
Get you singing babe, hallelujah
We'll be touching, we'll be touching heaven

She made his "brightest days from the darkest nights" which is exemplary saving grace, don't you think? Being baptized is the first step to being saved and he is saying that this girl saved him from something bad, which only reiterates the first line.

[Bridge]
I don't need the stars cause you shine for me
Like fire in my veins, you're my ecstasy, you're my ecstasy

Stars are guidance for some people. He says that he doesn't need any other guidance except from what is from her. Also, she is his happiness.

[Outro]
You're the healing hands where it used to hurt
You're my saving grace, you're my kind of church
You're holy

She healed him.
