| Queens of the Stone Age – God Is In The Radio Lyrics | 17 years ago |

Couldn't this song mean, quite simply, the spiritual powers that be are lurking all around us? "In The Radio" could imply we're listening for them (we go to church), and although we think we can hear them (we think we understand how the universe operates), the reality is that they're listening to us, omnisciently and inconsequentially (nothing we do changes this or absolves us)? The chorus is driving home the idea that we all sin, not all of us repent, and many of us who do repent say we've learned from our mistakes when we go right out and repeat those sins. We suffer from the delusion that we've fooled god, that we are cleansed of our misgivings, when in fact even our tiniest flaws are glaring red flags in the yes of a god we can't begin to comprehend. The notion of god could also be stretched to fit any authority figure, or even an equal (a mistreated friend or lover perhaps). I think the most significant concept of this song is that of sin. |
