Portugal. The Man – Lay Me Back Down Lyrics 15 years ago
took out some lyrics that weren't in the song

-----------------

I remember things, not many things
I don't remember where my feet touch the ground
but I remember every word and every sound

I remember things, not many things
I don't remember when the ships hit the sea
but I remember my name and what they paid for me

Lay me back down
in the bed with the cold hearted people
Listen to them work
Lay me back down
in the holes and the warmth that we've warmed up
Lay me back down
Lay me back down

I remember things, not many things
I don't remember presidents or what they did
but I remember the wars and just who profited

I remember things, not many things
I don't remember places in time
but I remember the love and just who gave me it

Lay me back down
In the bed with the cold hearted people
and listen to them work
Lay me back down
in the holes and the warmth that we've warmed up
Listen to them work

I hear them calling me back to the ground
I hear them calling me back where I belong

Portugal. The Man – Created Lyrics 15 years ago
more accurate version

------------------

I don't know how we're created
but I know that I know we all die

Go pick up all your tools and build a roof
I'll pick up all mine and build one too

I just do as I do
Yeah I do as I please
And that's all I can do

I don't know how we're created
but I know that I know we all die

Listen to the cars just passing through
Help out all those friends that helped you too

You just do as you do
Yeah you do as you please
And that's all you can do

I don't know how we're created
but I know that I know we all die

Open up your arms and hold on to
Everything you own that owns you too
And just let it all go

'Cause we do as we please
And that's all we can do
That's all we can do

I don't know how we're created
but I know that I know we all die
And that's all we can do

Portugal. The Man – Mornings Lyrics 15 years ago
I think if it is a religious reference, it makes more sense to me to interpret it more as "not believing" in creation/religion, at least not organized religion :

"the sun, it rose
up from the belly of sea
found its bedding up in those clouds
it hung for years
still, i don't believe
while colors rained
and poured from the cotton-bound pools in the drips
those drips stained us all
still, i don't believe"

I get big a "the world is awesome" vibe from this song, and the "still, I don't believe" parts make it seem like it's saying that even though there are these magnificent things in the world, but he doesn't necessarily think it was the work of a god in the traditional sense. Specifically that maybe he thinks the idea of creation makes sense but he doesn't quite buy into it.

But that's just my interpretation; it could go a lot of different ways depending on your perspective.
