God's Dice Lyrics

It's out of my hands making your hands meet.
Stumble rises crumbling out of reach.
It's in the cards of destiny your sanity in tow.

Designate my luck. Uh resignate.

This power has no roots to guide. No role.
Trust me. Rusted minds refuse to go.
Unwillingness is meaningless to walk away in vain.

Designate my will.
Ah, designate my fill.
Ah resignate.

My will is crashing. Synapses flashing slow.
Ah, days like frame by frame. Where do they go?
Ah yeah, why fight? Forget it. Cannot spend it after I go.

Roll them high. Throw them again. All god's dice.

Monkey driven. Call this living? Ha.
Ah, too much thought it's overwrought a hole.
Yeah, minding yours what's mine not yours.
Will finish us off.

Ah, designate my life.
Ah, designate my view.
Ah, resignate my will, my will, my will, I will.
Resignate my god.

Cover art for God's Dice lyrics by Pearl Jam

I think this song is about the confusion between denominations of religion. It's about feeling trapped in a pre-ordination mindset, and how everyone has free will over their own lives. Nothing is set in stone, and we should not live by the hand of God's dice. That's what the song says to me, at least.

"God's Dice" I think refers to the chance that's involved when each of us were created. Synapsis is the process where crossing over of the genes occurs, which is a big part of the variety in you, and what traits you aquire. I guess it's about how it's just chance that you turn out the way you do, and the way the people important to you turn out.

the title of the song is from a quote by einstein i think. he said: god doesnt play dice with the universe

That's right. Einstein was initially very wary of quantum mechanics, which was gaining momentum at the same time that his own theories were. He was put off by the probability/uncertainty of it all. Describing his misgivings over quantum mechanics, he stated, "God doesn't throw dice." Neils Bohr, one of the early pioneers of quantum mechanics replied, "Stop telling God what to do."

This song's name's apostrophe placement is important. It's actually Gods' Dice. Not God's Dice.

I'd say this song is about non man made tragedies like natural disasters and so on, which are gods decisions/dice and not ours. It's spoken from someone who has been affected by one of these things.
