Lyrics
I look to my saviour
The speaker seeks guidance or help from someone they view as a savior or protector.
But a saviour you are not
Despite being looked upon as a savior figure, the person being addressed falls short of fulfilling that role.
Just a bastard child with no memory
The individual being addressed is described as an illegitimate child without any recollection or acknowledgment of their past.
No footsteps in the sand
There's no evidence or indication of the person's existence or influence.
Dear father who art on Earth
The speaker addresses an earthly figure in a prayer-like manner, implying a lack of significance or depth in their connection.
Hollow be thy name
The earthly figure's status or identity is portrayed as hollow or lacking substance.
This blood runs cold and resemblance is dead
The speaker feels emotionally distant and disconnected, emphasizing the absence of any resemblance or connection.
It’s dead
Reiterating the idea that the resemblance or connection is completely nonexistent.
The sins of the father still live in the son
There's a recognition that the flaws or wrongdoings of the father figure continue to impact and live on in the speaker.
The sins of the father can’t be undone
The mistakes or misdeeds of the father cannot be rectified or erased.
Gold help me
An appeal for assistance or intervention.
The sins of the father
Reiteration of the impact of the father's wrongdoings.
Help me God
Another plea for help, invoking a higher power.
I look to my saviour

But a saviour you are not

You’re just a bastard child with no memory

No footsteps in the sand
A repetition of the absence of evidence or impact from this individual.
