Relief

To me it kind of seems like a song from God to people on Earth.

"Flashflood, you got too comfortable So I showed you, who's really in control" Noah and the ark?

'Oh my thank you for keeping me safe' Maybe a prayer?

"You never really know what you can't really see I'll be there, I'll be there" You can't see God but he's there

I could be totally off base but that's what I got from it.

I reckon it's about better-off-than-thou members of society (blue blood) giving money to charity ("you gave all of your savings to the poor"), maybe not necessarily out of the kindness of their heart, but rather the fear of God. Back in ye olde times the church was pretty much all like "give us yo' money and God won't fuck yo' shit up, bitch". They're a bit more subtle about it these days though..

Flashflood, lightning, earthquakes...I think they're all God's wrath references..

The line "oh my, thank you for keeping me safe", that's the relief they feel in that now that they've donated, God will keep them safe from harm, "even though you know it don't always go that way"

Yeah? Neah?

Might just be my favourite song on the new album.

"Earthquake in your pijamas huddled in doorways while your houses sway"

could be from experience living out in California

First off, there are many errors in these lyrics as they are posted here. The CWK put too much meaning into there lyrics to have them butchered.The actual lyrics are as followed.

flashflood you got too comfortable so I showed you whose really in control you gave all your savings to the poor lightning on the river and you're shivering with your fishing pole same night you bought a ring and you proposed you never really know what you can't really see I'll be fair you made it out alive, oh what a relief I'll be fair earthquakes in your pajamas huddled in doorways while your houses sway BLUE BLOOD pumping like a hunters fist I love the shape your faces make 'OH my, thankyou for keeping me safe' even though you know, it don't always go that way go ahead everything will be explained your wild guess everything will be explained

i gave the lyrics a try before reading the booklet. give me a break. now i am correcting all the ones i did.

you rude boob

the comments about the song being like God-to-man make perfect sense. i agree with them.

spot on, chap! spot on!

I'm with ion_flux on this one.

agreed!

Both make sense, but when i first heard the song the God-to-man theme is what i thought.
