Well, she is waking up
And she is finding out she has no pulse
Just like her "God" that she is trying to sell
But she ain't bought

Her lion is scared
Because he is finding out
She's waking up and he can't stop breaking down
And fading out as she gets up

Well, she looks around, Ariel
You have no pulse
Much like your religion, but it's fine
Just fake it

The wrath of God's grace is but an ocean to a child

    This is about someone who is pretty much faking faith. She goes to church, tries to look good like she is so righteous, when, inside, her heart is not right. Then she hears the voice of Satan telling her it is ok, she can just fake it. This song, I believe, can be very important to people like “Ariel” to realize they need to stop faking and get real.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
