Life is a Problem
Journey Through Redemption: Spiritualized's Reflection on Life's Struggles
Lyrics
Jesus won't you be my radio
Asking Jesus to guide and direct like a radio signal.
Broadcast direction where I got to go
Seeking guidance from Jesus about the path to take.
Send me your signal and I will receive
Willingness to accept Jesus' guidance or message.
Jesus please be there to take care of me
Pleading for Jesus' care and protection.
Jesus please be my automobile
Asking Jesus to be the driving force in life.
Won't get to heaven 'less God's at the wheel
Belief that reaching heaven requires God's control.
Send me your chauffeur and I will get in
Ready to follow Jesus' lead without hesitation.
Jesus please drive me away from my sin
Requesting Jesus to help overcome personal wrongdoing.
And I won't get to heaven
Expressing doubt about reaching heaven.
I won't be coming home
Feeling disconnected from the concept of returning home.
I will not see my mother again
Accepting the idea of not reuniting with the mother in the afterlife.
'Cause I'm lost and I'm gone
Feeling lost and detached from one's surroundings.
And this life is too long
Perception of life being excessively prolonged or burdensome.
And my willpower's never to strong
Feeling lacking in personal determination or resolve.
Jesus please be my aeroplane
Desiring Jesus to be the means of spiritual ascension.
Fly me to heaven and ever again
Yearning for transportation to heaven facilitated by Jesus.
Will I be weak-willed, stoned, or get high
Questioning whether weaknesses will persist even in heaven.
Jesus please meet me the day that i die
Asking Jesus to be present at the moment of death.
Jesus please be my bullet and gun
Metaphorically asking Jesus to be a means of divine justice.
Shoot all the sinners down, every one
Desire for the elimination of personal faults or immoral behaviors.
Kill all my demons and that will be fine
Wishing to rid oneself of inner struggles or personal demons.
But I will be reloading all of the time
Acknowledging a continuous struggle with personal issues.
And I won't get to heaven
Reiterating doubts about reaching heaven.
I won't be coming home
Feeling disconnected from the idea of returning home.
I will not see my mother again
Acceptance of not reuniting with the mother in the afterlife.
'Cause I'm lost and I'm gone
Feeling lost and detached from one's surroundings.
And this life is too long
Perception of life being excessively prolonged or burdensome.
And my willpower's never too strong
Feeling lacking in personal determination or resolve.
