| Florence + the Machine – Girls Against God Lyrics

I think this is a really difficult song to interpret without the songwriter’s input, but I have always felt this song was relatable most to me in my early twenties. I was a burned out gifted kid trying desperately to finish college. I felt like all I could do most days was go to work, cook dinner, and get high. But I still had this drive in me from when I was younger, like I wanted to accomplish everything at once but I had no energy to do it. This is seen most directly in the line “ When I decided to wage Holy War
It looked very much like staring at my bedroom floor” in that I wanted to do something important, but all I could do was take a shower, maybe. At minimum, the song is about the singer feeling trapped from pursuing her dreams, whether it be depression or a higher power |

I was under the impression that the guy was irritated with the girl for not loving him or maybe not understanding him. I'd had this fear that the day I didn't tell someone I loved them would be my last day, and they'd never know I loved them. That was sort of the feeling I got here, like he has the same fear and she doesn't understand that. Or, quite possibly, she just doesn't appreciate him and he's trying to tell her he could be gone any day. The part about "Can nobody hear me?" may be about no one hearing him out. Simply my thoughts. |

Might I just say, that last line is honestly one of the single most idiotic thing I have ever heard, and I can only hope and pray you do not go around preaching that to people. |
