God Only Knows
Unveiling the Depths of Longing: God Only Knows by The Slow Show
Lyrics
God only knows what,
Expresses uncertainty or mystery about a situation
What I will do with you
Uncertainty about what actions to take in relation to someone
God only knows what,
Reiterates the uncertainty or mystery about the situation
What I will do with you
Reiterates uncertainty about actions regarding someone
These crooked legs won't walk on the sand
The speaker's physical limitations prevent walking on sand
And the words they don't make any sound
Inability to vocalize thoughts or express oneself effectively
It all looks different these days
Perception of change in surroundings despite underlying sameness
But it's still the same, it's still the same
Recognition of underlying consistency despite outward changes
So miss me, let me go
Request to be missed or remembered but allowed to depart
Said the man with the book of spells
Allusion to a person with mystical or supernatural knowledge
No time to waste on sorrow
Emphasis on not wasting time in sadness or regret
So miss me, let me go
Reiteration of the request to be missed but let go
These crooked legs won't walk on the sand
Restates physical limitation hindering movement on sand
And the words they don't make any sound
Continued difficulty in expressing oneself effectively
It all looks different these days
Perception of ongoing change despite underlying consistency
But it's still the same, it's still the same
Acknowledgment of enduring sameness amid external changes
Everybody's home, now
Repetition emphasizing that everyone is now at home
Everybody's home, now
-Everybody's home, now
-Everybody's home
