When Gough wrote these lyrics, he was thinking of the emotional distance that between himself and his spirituality. How does one reconnect with their lord? This song was his way of documenting his struggles with God and his faith. |

| Guided by Voices – Game Of Pricks Lyrics
| 6 years ago
|
|
This song is about showing humility and recognizing how our humanity is imperfect. It’s about trusting God and realizing that his plan will get us through the rough patches. When Pollard writes of “entering the game of pricks with knives in the back of me” he’s using the symbolism of crucifixion to make his point that at the end of the day it isn’t our strength of personality that brings us true salvation—it’s the Lord. |

We know from various write-ups and sources within the band that this song is about Kim Gordon’s attachment to our Holy Ghost. She is sharing her deepest admiration for the Almighty. Particularly in the verse where she describes “Close my mind when I think of you, everything turns black to blue...” This is her revelation that only by finding God can there be light within the darkness. From the heavens above, star power is God’s power. |

| Broken Social Scene – Sweetest Kill Lyrics

We know that this song is about absolution. It’s about the singer’s inner quest to find God and cleanse himself of the sins brought on the road while touring. “I held your hand until the light, the scars were on the back..” is a reference to the crucifixion and God guiding him to the path of righteousness. Beautiful song and a good reminder that the journey is hard but worth it! |
