God Lyrics
God knows im helpless to speak
On my own behalf
God is as helpless as me
Caught in the negatives
We all just do as we please
False transmissions
I hope God forgives me
For my transgressions
It's what you want
To know no consequences
It's what you need
To fucking bleed
It's all too much
God knows im helpless (repeat)
God knows im restless and weak
Full of piss and vinegar
God knows we sow what we reap
In the dirt of grandeur
When the darkness comes to me
And fixes it's gaze on me
God knows im helpless (repeat)
It's what you want
To know no consequences
It's what you need
To fucking bleed
It's all too much
God knows im helpless (repeat)
You break your back
For what you can't have
You can't turn back
God know im helpless (repeat)
On my own behalf
God is as helpless as me
Caught in the negatives
We all just do as we please
False transmissions
I hope God forgives me
For my transgressions
To know no consequences
It's what you need
To fucking bleed
Full of piss and vinegar
God knows we sow what we reap
In the dirt of grandeur
And fixes it's gaze on me
To know no consequences
It's what you need
To fucking bleed
For what you can't have
You can't turn back

im thinking more of the corruption of his own soul. god knows hes helpless, yet he keeps adding trials. i dont think its neccesarily blasphemy. i just think hes frustrated with life. i think its more of a cry out for gods help when really he deserves 'to fucking bleed'
this was one of the first smashing pumpkin songs i ever heard.
this song speaks of so much strife and suffering, and is just so miserable...and that's why i love it. I can always count on this song to be there when I feel like shit
Blaspheme and confession in the same song... doesn't get much better. Great song... "When the darkness comes to me And fixes it's gaze on me God knows i'm helpless" So true... we're all weak.
I think its sort of about the corruption of the Church. "I hope God forgives me For my transgressions" is maybe about buying forgiveness, a practice from the Church of the middle ages. "When the darkness comes to me And fixes it's gaze on me" is maybe in reference to the Dominicans and the Inquisition? Or perhaps its just a really angst-y song. That interpretation works as well. Pissed off by the pressure of the Church and Sin and Heaven and Hell.
i love this song. it is amazingly awesome
