Lyrics

Lookin' for to save my save my soul

Searching for a way to save my soul

Lookin' in the places where no flowers grow

Exploring places where there is no growth or positivity

Lookin' for to fill that God shaped hole

Seeking to fill a void that feels shaped like God

Mother

Reference to a maternal figure

Mother sucking rock and roll

Symbolic depiction of the mother figure consuming rock and roll

Holy dunc spacejunk comin' in for the splash

Imagery of celestial debris entering for impact

White dopes on punk staring into the flash

People under the influence of drugs staring into a bright light

Lookin' for baby Jesus under the trash

Searching for the presence of baby Jesus in undesirable places

Mother

Reiteration of the maternal reference

Mother sucking rock and roll

Repetition of the mother consuming rock and roll

Mother

Additional repetition emphasizing the consuming nature of rock and roll

Mother sucking rock and rock and rock and roll

Intensified repetition of the mother's association with rock and roll

Mother (mother, mother, mother, mother)

Continued repetition and emphasis on the maternal figure

Mother

Reiteration of the maternal reference

Mother am I still your son

Questioning the maternal connection and identity

You know I've waited for so long to hear you say so

Expressing a longing to be acknowledged as a son

Mother you left and made me someone

Acknowledging the impact of the mother leaving and shaping identity

Now I'm still a child

Acknowledging a childlike state despite growing up

But no one tells me no

Asserting independence despite lacking guidance

Lookin' for a sound that's gonna drown out the world

Searching for a sound to drown out the chaotic world

Lookin' for the father of my two little girls

Looking for the father of two daughters

Got the swing got the sway got my straw in lemonade

Describing a carefree state with references to a swing and lemonade

Still looking for the face I had before the world was made

Continued search for a lost pre-world identity

Mother

Reiteration of the maternal connection with rock and roll

Mother sucking rock and roll

Continuation of the association between the mother and rock and roll

Bubble poppin' sugar droppin' rock and roll

Describing the energetic and vibrant nature of rock and roll

Mother

Reiteration of the maternal reference

Mother

Repetition of the maternal reference

Mother

Repetition and emphasis on seeking comfort and guidance from various family members
