Godless

As I was just listening to it the part that says "I beg I plead but this is all that I have gotten" made me think about someone praying so it occurred to me that maybe he is in fact addressing God.... which would make the whole thing kind of ironic in a way... saying a God is "godless" is funny, but oddly true... It seems pretty accurate to describe God as if he were a shitty friend

I'm not entirely sure whether it's "spotless" or "thoughtless as you were back then", but if its the latter, as I feel it is, it reminds me of God in the Old Testament.. I mean he was pretty cruel and reckless back then from what I've been told.. with war waging and other nonsense... If it's "spotless" I feel the speaker is being sarcastic, although I think "thoughtless" is the right word

He makes God out to be kind of a needy, whiny child or a needy friend at best... When he says "I guess you're lonely when, I gave you all it took so then..." I couldn't help but to think of how back in the day people would sacrifice sheep and goats and virgins and what not to placate the gods.... I guess that whole thing has somewhat been phased out at this point in Christian culture, but it sounds like the speaker is rationalizing this change in a way by saying that he guesses God was lonely back then...

Freaking awesome song/album/artist regardless....

By the way, these lyrics are kinda wrong. Just a couple of little bits.

Hey I said you're godless and It seems like you're a souless friend As spotless as you were back then I swear that you are godless

Hey I guess you're lonely when I gave you all it took so then A stranger there is ever been I guess, it's what you wanted

Ohh, it seems, lonely I would be I beg, I plead But this is all that I have gotten

Hey as for the day my friend To hope that you could ever bend I swear you are, I swear you are I swear, that you are godless

Hey I said you're godless and Hey and you're a souless friend Hey I said you're thoughtless And I swear, I swear You're godless You're godless You're godless You're godless

Fantastic song. Comparable to Good Morning in terms of the music itself (they follow the same chords basically). Brilliant stuff.

my friend woke up to this song for a 3 months straight. every day. i tried it and its so calming to wake to.

then we saw them live at the BDO and when they played this song it felt like we were waking up.

Haha gunmafia! i just got a new hi fi system and its got that feature too...but i can only play the first track of any given album, what a fantastic idea! def. waking up to that tomorrow. What a brilliant song. Theres something so casual in everything, something detached and alien in the slow, easy rhythm paired with the long trumpet notes. And CTT's voice! this song actually sounds like everyone in the band just woke up and they're playing half asleep. It yawns and sighs. Theres so much more in the music than the lyrics. Reminds me, in a weird way, of Radiohead's "everything is in its right place". Now THAT is a first track to wake up to....or to slip into death with...

I love the Dandy Warhols and this is such a great song.

i think ythis song is about a person with no feelings a souless person someone that hearts other people without realy giving it much thghout

Yep, he's pissed.

(to me) this is about the only girl i know that is worth loving, who doesn't ever know what she wants.

I took the next song on the album "Nietzsche" to be a clue to this song. Someone who is totally godless (including all other god-replacements e.g. the human spirit, the tao, etc.), would hold nothing higher than their own whims. The truly goddess individual would be intolerable and incapable of anything but a very conditional, temperamental love.
