Modest Mouse – Satin in a Coffin Lyrics 20 years ago
When he says "God I sure Hope You Are Dead" he is not talking about GOD, if he did it would probably be "God, I sure hope you are dead" or "I sure hope you are dead, God"

He is talking about a person. I say it all the time to people I can't stand. "God I Sure Hope You Are Dead or you Die"

Modest Mouse – Satin in a Coffin Lyrics 20 years ago
The beginning of the song it sounds like he is talking about an abusive father, maybe he found his father or someone else abusive or that he hated in his life lying on the floor and he though/said

You were laying on the carpet
Like you're satin in a coffin
You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?"
Yeah right now, but not that often
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God I sure hope you are dead

Well you disappeared so often
Like you dissolved into coffee
Are you here right now or are there
Probably fossils under your meat?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
Are you dead or are you sleepin'?
God I sure hope you are dead

those first 2 really sound like he was talking about what I thought
