Manchester Orchestra – My Friend Marcus Lyrics 14 years ago
I'm atheist so I don't really see this from a religious view although I see that religion is quite prevalent in MO's lyrics.

My friend Marcus, he sleeps in my basement
And his father touched more than spirit
Now he can hardly sleep, sleep
--the obvious, Marcus' father molested him

I don't give a good shit if your lonesome
I think that you should go home son
Find your father and meaning
--I see this as him being at a very young age and not wanting to share his family with Marcus because he does not understand the circumstances

Now I can see
You mean everything to nothing
Now I believe
You mean everything
--At first he doesn't think Marcus is an important person but realizes that he has become his best friend.

Now I can see
You mean everything to nothing
Now I believe
You mean everything

My friend Marcus, he works on a train set
And I still can't move on my broke track
He's helping me find my meaning
Eventually and hopefully we'll see
--Marcus teaches him that even though he's been through that he can still love where he had been through nothing and disliked Marcus. I think he regrets that and is starting over.

And now I can see
I mean everything to nothing
Now I believe
I mean everything

Its funny how many don't know
How many dont have a home
It's funny how many don't know
How many dont have homes
oooooh
--I took this as how many people are molested because the numbers are outrageous and they don't have a place they can call home and feel safe.
