Make Me Pure
A Quest for Purity in Life's Symphony
Lyrics
So I sing a song
Expressing the act of singing a song.
To reel 'em in
Using a song to attract or captivate people.
Its a song I sung before and a song I'm gunna sing again'
Acknowledging the repetition of a song, indicating a familiar tune.
I mean every word, I don't mean a single one of them
Contradicting the sincerity of the words sung, suggesting insincerity.
Oh Lord, make me pure
Expressing a desire for purity, seeking spiritual or moral cleansing.
But not yet
Delaying the request for purity, indicating a hesitation or unwillingness.
Tell a joke
Encouraging humor as a coping mechanism or social strategy.
Tell it twice
Emphasizing the repetition of a joke, even if others don't find it amusing.
If no-one else is laughing then why am I?
Questioning the purpose of humor if not shared, exploring self-perception.
I split my sides both times and laugh until I cry
Describing extreme laughter, possibly masking deeper emotions.
Oh Lord, make me pure
Repeating the plea for purity after the humor, suggesting a complex internal state.
But not yet
Reiterating hesitation or delay in seeking purity.
I don't have to try
Claiming effortlessness or natural talent in certain aspects of life.
I just dial it in
Expressing ease in handling tasks without much effort.
I never found a job that for me was worth bothering
Rejecting conventional work, implying a lack of fulfillment in past occupations.
I got a ton of selfish genes and lazy bones beneath this skin
Acknowledging inherent selfishness and laziness within oneself.
Oh Lord, make me pure
Repeating the desire for purity, juxtaposed with acknowledgment of flaws.
But not yet
Reiterating the delay in the pursuit of purity.
Smoking kills
Highlighting the dangers of smoking.
Sex sells
Noting the appeal of sex in society.
I got one hand in my pocket but the other one looks cool as hell
Contrasting mundane reality (one hand in pocket) with a cool appearance.
I know I'm gonna die so my revenge is living well
Accepting mortality and seeking revenge through a fulfilling life.
Oh Lord, Make me pure
Repeating the plea for purity, acknowledging the ongoing struggle.
But not yet
Reiterating the delay in attaining purity.
I stopped praying
Admitting to a cessation of prayer, with the song serving as a substitute.
So I hope this song will do
Expressing hope in the efficacy of the song as a form of communication with a higher power.
I wrote it all, for you
Confirming the creation of the song for a specific recipient.
I'm not perfect, but you don't mind that, do you?
Acknowledging personal imperfections and questioning the listener's acceptance.
I know you're there to pull me through, aren't you?
Expressing faith in divine assistance during challenging times.
So I look for love
Engaging in a quest for love, implying a continuous search.
I like to search
Expressing an active pursuit of love and relationships.
And I been standing for election all across the known universe
Metaphorically connecting the search for love with standing for election.
Every president get the country she deserves
Commenting on the connection between leaders and the state of the nation.
Oh Lord, make me pure
Repeating the plea for purity in the context of the search for love.
But not yet
Reiterating the delay in achieving purity, suggesting ongoing personal struggles.
And I've been seeing somebodies wife
Admitting involvement with someone else's spouse.
She said she'd leave him for me and I said that wasn't wise
Rejecting a commitment to the person due to perceived dishonesty.
You can't lie to a liar, because of all the lies
Exploring the difficulty of deceiving someone who is accustomed to deceit.
Oh Lord, please make me pure
Repeating the plea for purity, emphasizing the need for spiritual cleansing.
But not yet
Reiterating the delay in attaining purity, indicating an ongoing internal struggle.
