No Maker Made Me Lyrics

And the magic light that appears to shine
Is not the light of benevolent design

So no maker made me
Everything I believed has died so silently
Now I live on a wire chasing shadows
While my mind is tired
But my heart's too stubborn to let go

And no maker made me
I will never be hijacked by the fairytale
We can always just fuck away our sorrows
Mouth to mouth we thrive
We've got everything we need to survive

And the magic light that appears to shine
Is not the light of benevolent design

No maker made me
No maker made me
No maker made me
No maker made me

And the magic light that appears to shine
Is not the light of benevolent design

No maker made me
No maker made me
No maker made me
No maker made me

You fucking sinner
You fucking sinner
You fucking sinner
You fucking sinner
You fucking sinner
You fucking sinner
You fucking sinner
You fucking sinner

No maker made me
(You fucking sinner)
(You fucking sinner)
No maker made me
(You fucking sinner)
(You fucking sinner)
No maker made me
No maker made me

Cover art for No Maker Made Me lyrics by IAMX

I believe this song is about how Christ dealt to losing his faith. At first, it seems he was desoriented, sad, feeling empty and trying to find something to fill the empty space where God used to be in the world for him (chasing shadows). This emptiness led to anger against religion, that he came to the conclusion that is just a fairy tale that prevents people to live their lifes to the fullest. Also, not finding any anwser to the meaning of life and all that kind of complex questions, he turned to nihilism and hedonism (we can always just fuck away our sorrows / mouth to mouth we thrive / We've got everything we need to survive). The last part seems to be about the judgement he received from religious people (You fucking sinner!) but it never changed his mind.

I might be totally wrong, I don't know much about Chris life, but that's pretty much how I felt as an atheist as well as some other atheists that I know of.
