God
Navigating Shadows: Unraveling the Depths of Faith and Desire
Lyrics
God is good, I never understood
God is perceived as good, but the speaker never comprehended the darkness within.
All the darkness in his soul.
Reference to the darkness within God's soul.
And God made man, the only way he can,
God created man, leaving a void in the heart.
But for a heart he left a hole
The heart is emphasized as having an emptiness.
And it's killing you
The emptiness is causing emotional pain.
And it's killing me too
The pain is affecting both the speaker and another person.
Are we failing the truth?
Questioning whether they are deviating from the truth.
I'm betting on desire, I'm betting on deceit
Expressing reliance on desire and deceit in uncertain situations.
I'm betting on a moment when everything is sweet
Hopeful anticipation of a positive moment.
I'm betting on disaster in every living hour.
Expecting disaster in every moment of life.
Would you burn your fingers if you touched God?
Rhetorical question about the consequences of touching God.
Will he let you in if you have or not?
Questioning if one can enter God's presence regardless of actions.
Once my friend, I loved you as a child
Reflection on a past friendship, possibly with God.
Kissed your face before I slept.
Expressing affection and familiarity with God.
Be in my head, and with me when I sleep
Asking God to be present in thoughts and during sleep.
In the bloodied tears he wept.
Reference to God's sorrowful tears.
And it's killing you
Reiteration of the emotional toll on both the speaker and another.
And it's killing me too
Continued impact on emotions and questioning the truth.
Are we failing the truth?
Reflecting on potential failure to adhere to the truth.
I'm betting on indifference, I'm betting on belief
Placing bets on indifference and belief in uncertain situations.
I'm thinking of a beauty where ev'rything's complete
Imagining a state of completeness and beauty.
I'm betting on a laughter, a very distant star
Anticipating joy from a distant source.
Would you burn your fingers if you touched God?
Repetition of the consequences of touching God.
Will he let you in if you have or not?
Reiterating the uncertainty of entering God's presence.
And it's killing you
Re-emphasizing the emotional toll on both individuals.
And it's killing me too
Continued impact on emotions and questioning the truth in actions.
Are we failing the truth in everything we do?
Contemplating failure to adhere to the truth in all aspects of life.
Are we failing the truth?
Reiteration of the possibility of failing the truth.
I'm betting on desire, I'm betting on deceit
Expressing reliance on desire and deceit once again.
I'm betting on a moment where everything is sweet
Anticipating a positive moment once more.
I'm thinking of the beauty I love with all my heart
Thinking about the beauty loved with all the heart.
Would you burn your fingers if you touched God?
Repetition of the consequences of touching God.
Will he let you in if you have or not?
Reiterating the uncertainty of entering God's presence.
Will he let you in?
Final questioning of whether one will be allowed into God's presence.
