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

Similar to the first line, the speaker looks to the supposed savior for aid or support.

But a saviour you are not

Repetition of the idea that the addressed figure doesn't fulfill the role of a savior.

You’re just a bastard child with no memory

A recurrence of describing the figure as an illegitimate child without a sense of their past.

No footsteps in the sand

A repetition of the absence of evidence or impact from this individual.
