Lyrics
God knows what is hiding in
God is aware of the hidden troubles within
Those weak and drunken hearts
Refers to emotionally vulnerable and intoxicated individuals
Guess he kissed the girls and made them
Suggests a person who caused pain to girls
Cry those Hard-faced Queens of misadventure
Describes resilient but troubled women
God knows what is hiding in
Reiteration of the unknown struggles in weak lives
Those weak and sunken lives
Highlights the struggles in sunken and troubled lives
Fiery thrones of muted angels giving
Depicts celestial beings offering love without reciprocation
Love but getting nothing back
Angels not receiving love in return
People help the people
An appeal for mutual assistance among people
And if you're homesick
Addressing those feeling homesick
Give me your hand and I'll hold it
Offering support and connection
People help the people
A repetition of the plea for people to help each other
And nothing will drag you down
Assurance that helping others will prevent one from being dragged down
Oh and if I had a brain
Expressing a lack of intellect
Oh and if I had a brain
Reiteration of intellectual deficiency
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the
Imagining being emotionally cold and materially successful
Fool that turned all those good hearts away
Reflects on a regretful past of turning away good-hearted individuals
God knows what is hiding in
God's awareness of hidden troubles in the world
This world of little consequence
Describes a world with little significance
Behind the tears, inside the lies a thousand
Behind sorrow and lies, there are countless dying moments
Slowly dying sunsets
Portrays the slow decline of hope through dying sunsets
God knows what is hiding in
Repetition of the hidden struggles in emotionally vulnerable hearts
Those weak and drunken hearts
Loneliness arrives unexpectedly
Guess the loneliness came knocking no
No one should face loneliness, emphasized through singing
One needs to be alone, oh singin'
A plea for assistance and connection
People help the people
Reiteration of the call for people to help each other
And if you're homesick
Reaching out to those feeling homesick
Give me your hand and I'll hold it
Offering support through holding hands
People help the people
Continued plea for mutual assistance
Nothing will drag you down
Reassurance that helping others prevents personal decline
Oh and if I had a brain
Reiteration of lacking intelligence
Oh and if I had a brain
Repeated acknowledgment of intellectual deficiency
I'd be cold as a stone and
Imagining emotional coldness and material success
Rich as the fool that turned
Reflects on the regretful past of turning away good-hearted individuals
All those good hearts away
Repetition of the plea for people to help each other
People help the people
Reiteration of the call for mutual assistance
And if you're homesick
Reaching out to those feeling homesick
Give me your hand and I'll hold it
Offering support through holding hands
People help the people
Continued plea for mutual assistance
Nothing will drag you down
Reassurance that helping others prevents personal decline
Oh and if I had a brain
Reiteration of lacking intelligence
Oh and if I had a brain
Repeated acknowledgment of intellectual deficiency
I'd be cold as a stone and rich as the
Imagining emotional coldness and material success
Fool that turned all those good hearts away
Reflects on the regretful past of turning away good-hearted individuals
