Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

Jesus pines for valhalla

Jesus yearns for a place resembling Valhalla

Dying for the grave

Willing to die for the grave

This gravity be too much locomotion

The force of gravity hinders movement significantly

His vessel all concave

His vessel (body) is deeply hollowed or empty


God, I could use some divination

Expressing a desire for supernatural insight

Soul steeped in ethanol

Spirit soaked in alcohol

I don’t want to be their salvation

Rejecting the role of being someone's savior

My faith is all too small

Personal faith feels inadequate


C’mon Yahweh

Calling on Yahweh, the Hebrew God

All too ostentatious

God's actions seem excessively showy

I am juiced up seeing triple again

Intoxicated and experiencing distorted vision

Sick at the sight

Feeling nauseated at a certain sight

Can’t you sympathize?

Asking for understanding or empathy


Ghost gon’ get you

A ghost or spirit is coming for someone

I ain’t ready daddy to take this fall

Unwilling to face the impending downfall

Host gon’ quit you

The host (perhaps the speaker) will abandon or forsake

I ain’t ready daddy why can’t we stall?

Questioning why the fall can't be delayed


I don’t even know what love is

Uncertain about the meaning of love


Jesus nods with the zephyr

Jesus agrees or acknowledges with a gentle wind

Flying to be brave

Flying toward bravery

No gravity when he on that potion

No gravitational force when influenced by a potion

No sorry soul to save

No remorseful soul to rescue


God, I could use some elevation

Seeking a higher state or position

I’m balls deep in this ethanol

Deeply immersed in alcohol

What the fuck is my motivation?

Questioning personal motivation

Your shadow makes me small

Another's influence diminishes the speaker


C’mon, Yahweh

Invoking Yahweh again with skepticism

This ain’t perspicacious

The situation lacks clarity or insight

What is one against a world of sin?

Individual against a world tainted by sin

Sick of the fight

Weary of the ongoing struggle

And I’m terrified

Feeling intense fear


Ghost gon’ get you

A ghostly presence is approaching

I ain’t ready daddy to take this fall

Reluctant to face a downfall

Host gon’ quit you

The host (speaker) is contemplating quitting or leaving

I ain’t ready daddy why can’t we stall?

Questioning why the downfall can't be delayed


I don’t even know what love is

Uncertain about the meaning of love (repeated)


Arcadia, across the Astral Plane

Referring to an idyllic place beyond the physical realm

Arcadia, they’ll never preach my name

In Arcadia, recognition is unlikely


I don’t even know what love is

Reiteration of uncertainty about love


I don’t know

Expression of not knowing or understanding


Ghost gon’ get you

Another warning about a ghostly encounter

I ain’t ready daddy to take this fall

Reluctance to face a looming downfall

Host gon’ quit you

The host (speaker) may abandon or quit

I ain’t ready daddy why can’t we stall?

Questioning why the downfall can't be delayed (repeated)


I don’t even know what love is

Reiteration of uncertainty about the meaning of love (repeated)
