Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
God is the reason we live in dismay
It is his will that this world's suffering
If we do not believe what you foretell
We can expect afterlife will be hell
You are the one who killed his own son
We are the ones you're blaming it on
Lust was created beginning with hymn
When we indulge we are guilty of sin
Torture our lives with confusion and lies
Mass contradiction, religious facades
Blame it on god
Blame it on god
Blame it on god, liar
Lord of salvation keep looking away
It is your will that this world goes astray
Take us each day from this place you unworthed
Unfulfilled promise of heaven on earth
You are the one who killed your own son
We are the ones your hatred is on
Children are dying and this you're content
Where is your profit in what you have left
No intervention from angels above
God is the reason that satan lives on.
It is his will that this world's suffering
If we do not believe what you foretell
We can expect afterlife will be hell
You are the one who killed his own son
We are the ones you're blaming it on
Lust was created beginning with hymn
When we indulge we are guilty of sin
Torture our lives with confusion and lies
Mass contradiction, religious facades
Blame it on god
Blame it on god
Blame it on god, liar
Lord of salvation keep looking away
It is your will that this world goes astray
Take us each day from this place you unworthed
Unfulfilled promise of heaven on earth
You are the one who killed your own son
We are the ones your hatred is on
Children are dying and this you're content
Where is your profit in what you have left
No intervention from angels above
God is the reason that satan lives on.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Fast Car

Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him.
There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
I thought this site was called : Song Meanings. Not Christians vs. Anti christians. I thought I was gonna get some ideas and opinions about what the meaning of this song is for some people. But instead I find all this nerdrage... People on the internet harassing eachother by no means, Just listen to yourselves. You've never met. You never will. You don't know peoples ages/religions/name. I can say that I'm christian when am a muslim its simple to lie about it.
It's like watching the special olympics, holy shit you guys are retarded. Arguing on a website with random people. Get a freaking life. I thought this site was serious.
This song is about the idiots who glorify the torture of a man, the ones who wear the crucifix and scream at you because "were all going to hell". Well, there is nothing more hellacious than going to church and seeing the statue of an agonizing, dying, bloodied Jesus scaring the shit of little children. "You are the ones who killed your own son" - I couldnt have said it any better. Here's this cult of Christian wacknuts perpetrating an event in order to sell the "babble". It's like killing someone and saying to someone else, "See what you did to them?" God IS the reason Satan lives on because of the bullshit his (gods) followers dish out. Worship of God throughout time has spawned the bloodiest of events from the Jewish genocide of pagan Caananites to the witch hunt of heretics during the inquisitions to the bloody crusades in Europe and to the present days Muslims and terrorism. Its clear, GOD worship is bloody and truly EVIL. Deicide shows this well. To those with the power of discernment (a rare trait among Christians), you would understand the message behind this song. But, its apparent weve got diehard christians who are drawn to controversy, to make ignorant posts dissing the band. And that actually works IN FAVOR for Deicide, because it shows the intolerance inherent among sheepish christians. Life will truly be better once monotheistic worship becomes a thing of the past.
your and idiot that line is about the biblical story of Abraham sacrificing his son for god....and god is the reason that satan lives on, is self explanatory if theres no belief in god then thers no satan man your fuck ignorant...im not satanic or christian or religious for that matter and i kno this
GREAT SONG
Man your a fuckin idiot, shut up and die you piece of shit
I think this song is about blaming stuff on god.
You kids have no idea of what you are talking about. These guys are awesome. Just because you are some religious little bastards dosen't mean that they suck.
Everyone has there own opinion.. But we DONT want to hear yours..! If you dont like Deicide, then stay the fuck out. Simple as that.
Well this is a place to post what the lyrics mean, and uh.. You people wont stop bitching about Deicide, So if you dont like them Stay out.
I don't think anyone should take offense. I think this song describes how a lot of people feel. Don't we all sometimes blame God for the bad? I've blamed him all my life for some past stuff that have gone wrong in my life. I've questions a lot of things. Sometimes we're in deep mud through no fault of our own, and sometimes because of our own choices. Even if we can't feel him, I don't believe that he doesn't send a sign or something to tell us the way to get out of our muds. I'm certain that he sends people, signs, things to guide us through because though we blame and hate God, he still loves us and is always reaching out to us. No matter what we do, he loves us and he will forgive.
THis song sucks
Well i think it´s about critizing about society/religion = the same thing, but all that matters is the music which is one of the finest dm acts of all time, dont take it too seriously. HAILLS FROM FINLAND!!!!!!!!!!
