Lyrics

I'm walking down the street

I am walking down the street

I know they wanna try my meat

People want to challenge or test me

It's everything what we've done

Referring to past actions or experiences

It's everything what we deserve

We deserve the consequences of our actions

I never believed in you

I never had faith or trust in you

I don't even pray to you

I don't pray to you

But if you hear and if you see

Expressing a plea to a higher power who might be observing


Oh Father, oh Father, oh Father

Addressing a paternal figure with a plea for salvation

Save us we're so needy

Pleading for help, acknowledging vulnerability

Oh Father, oh Father, oh Father

Repetition of the plea for emphasis

Save us we're so needy

Repetition of the plea, emphasizing the urgency


I hate my voice

Expressing dissatisfaction with one's own voice

Cause even if I tell the truth

Even telling the truth seems meaningless

It makes no sense

Frustration with the lack of impact from speaking the truth

I hate my eyes

Disliking one's own eyes, wanting to avoid witnessing something

Don't wanna see this place again

Not wanting to revisit a particular place or memory

You're fucking crowd

Expressing discontent with a group of people

And probably

Possibly referring to the crowd being noisy or bothersome

We need to find some place for love

Suggesting the need to find love in our imperfect selves

In our dirty souls

Describing the souls as tainted or impure

But honestly

Admitting skepticism about the possibility of a happy ending

I don't believe in happy end

Expressing doubt about positive outcomes

But if you hear me

Asking for acknowledgment or attention


Oh Father, oh Father, oh Father

Repetition of the plea to a paternal figure

Save us we're so needy

Repeating the plea, emphasizing the neediness

Oh Father, oh Father, oh Father

Continuing the repetition for emphasis

Save us we're so needy

Reiterating the urgent plea for salvation


Farther, just tell me how to be

Seeking guidance on how to live

I will be clever, please let me see

Expressing a desire for wisdom and insight

What is wrong, what is right

Questioning the concepts of right and wrong

Cause I was born blind

Admitting a lack of clarity or understanding from birth

Farther, just tell me how to be

Repetition of the plea for guidance

I will be clever, please let me see

Reiterating the request for wisdom and insight

What is wrong, what is right

Continuing to question the notions of right and wrong

Cause I was born blind

Acknowledging a lack of sight or understanding


Save us we're so needy

Repeating the plea for salvation and emphasizing neediness

Save us

A direct plea for salvation

Save us we're so needy

Repetition of the plea, reinforcing the sense of neediness

Save us

Reiterating the plea for salvation
