Lyrics

Hey mom, daddy left me here alone

Expressing abandonment by the father and seeking help.

Someone save me, someone save me

Desperation for someone to come to the rescue.

Hey God, I'm out here on my own

Addressing God and feeling alone, asking for salvation.

So now will You save me, now

Reiterating the plea for divine intervention.


I think it's funny you've been quiet for so long

Noting God's prolonged silence and the lack of challenges to it.

When you're quiet no one proves you wrong

Highlighting that silence protects from being proven wrong.

And dear your holiness, your army's safe and sound

Addressing a higher power, acknowledging the safety of believers.

Down here dying for you

Acknowledging followers sacrificing their lives for faith.


And I don't know how they found me

Uncertainty about how others discovered the speaker's location.

Found me here

-

And I don't know how they found me

-

Found me here

-

Well, maybe you can trick a lot of 'em

Suggesting deception to gain followers and influence.

Maybe if you fool the best of 'em

-

The rest will come around

-

We're all scared

Expressing universal fear among believers.

So they dressed you up in all these different names

Observing the varied identities assigned to the higher power.

I've gotta find peace with myself

Seeking internal peace before dedicating oneself to faith.

Before I give you all, before I give you anything at all

-

I think it's funny you've been quiet for so long

Repeating the observation of God's prolonged silence.

When you're quiet no one proves you wrong

Reiterating the protective aspect of God's silence.

And dear your holiness, your army's safe and sound

Acknowledging the safety of the religious community.

They're down here dying for you

Emphasizing followers sacrificing for the higher power.


And I don't know how they found me

Continued uncertainty about the discovery of the speaker.

Found me here

-

And I don't know how they found me

-

Found me here

-

Well, maybe you can trick a lot of 'em

Reiterating the theme of deception to gain followers.

Maybe if you fool the best of 'em

-

The rest will come around, around

-

Been thinking that there's something more

Reflecting on the hope for a more profound connection with the divine.

And that you'd come down and tell me yourself

Anticipating direct communication from the higher power.

Now I realize it's a waste of time

Realizing the futility of waiting for divine revelation.

Another penny thrown down the well

Acknowledging wasted efforts in seeking divine guidance.


And I don't know how they found me

Repeating the mystery of how others found the speaker.

Found me here

-

And I don't know how they found me

-

Found me here

-

And I don't know how they found me

Continuing the uncertainty about the discovery of the speaker.

Found me here

-

And I don't know how they found me

-

Found me here

-

Maybe you can trick a lot of 'em

Reiterating the concept of deceiving to gain followers.

Maybe if you fool the best of 'em

-

They'll come around
