Your God
Gods and Deception: Unraveling the Depths of Jonathan Davis' 'Your God'
Lyrics
They make you feel like you're alive again
They create the illusion that you've regained a sense of being alive.
They mask the truth and gather
They hide the truth and come together.
Running redemption from within
Seeking redemption from internal struggles.
Which leaves the question
Raising the question about the purpose or consequence of seeking redemption.
What's in it for you?
Asking about the motivation behind their actions.
(Nothing but lies and blame)
Nothing but deception and assigning blame.
What's in it for you?
Questioning the benefits for the individual.
(That nothing could want them again)
Implying that nothing desirable could want those individuals again.
Now I don't want to be, your god has abandoned me
Expressing a reluctance to be associated with a god who seems to have forsaken.
I hold on and leave, try, your god is killing me
Enduring the situation while feeling that the god in question is detrimental.
They cut your hair and make you fear
Manipulating appearance and instilling fear.
Anything that ever mattered
Diminishing the significance of anything that once held importance.
If they could they'd you up to the stake again and burn it
Suggesting a willingness to persecute and destroy valuable things if possible.
I hear their laughter
Perceiving the mocking laughter of those involved.
What's in it for you?
Reiterating the absence of genuine benefits, filled with deception and blame.
(Nothing but lies and blame)
Highlighting the prevalence of lies and blame in the situation.
What's in it for you?
Asking again about the motivations and benefits for the individual.
(That nothing could want them again)
Asserting that nothing desirable could be attracted to those involved.
Now I don't want to be, your god has abandoned me
Reiterating the unwillingness to be associated with a seemingly forsaken god.
I hold on and leave, try, your god is killing me
Persisting in the situation while feeling that the god in question is harmful.
So everytime I look around, I see their crosses
Observing the omnipresence of religious symbols, particularly crosses, causing distress.
Haunting me every movement
Feeling haunted by these symbols in every aspect of life.
I can't do this
Expressing a sense of incapacity or frustration.
Foolish savior
Referring to a deity as foolish or misguided.
Puppet bullshit
Rejecting the notion of salvation as mere puppetry and deception.
Now I don't want to be, your god has abandoned me
Reiterating the reluctance to be associated with a seemingly forsaken god.
I hold on and leave, try, your god is killing me
Persisting in the situation while feeling that the god in question is harmful.
