God Said No Lyrics
this is good...
this song is awesome...wow...thank god for letting you write this stuff...lol
That you should not change the past. Everything happends for a reason. God has a plan. Also, that you really can't go back so work on doing it right the first time!!!
Also, maybe that you shouldn't spend all your time thinking about the past but look forward and think of the future.
yes, too bad no one could go back and change things, esp. the cobain suicide... ~Candice~ RIP Kurt
Not really, in the last part of the song about Jesus, he basically states that you can't change the past, unless you are willing to change yourself in the process.
But the other two passages about Cobain and Hilter, about God knowing that he would be selfish and not get the job done.
I really like the last part, on it's on it's the most powerful.
one of my close friends died in a car accident a few days ago, he's so young, only 16. This song was played at the wake, and it's amazing. It's saying that everything happens for a reason because god decides it. And if you attempt to travel back in time to change it, there would be a different outcome, or you'd change to much. The final part always brings tears to my eyes because I think of my and how Time does belong to God and you can't go back, and no one will ever be able to bring him back.
Whether you're atheist or devout or somewhere in between: if this song does not make you sob at least once, you arguably haven't heard it. Best religious/folk meditation since Cohen's "Hallelujah" and its ten zillion well-justified covers.
This song is so beautiful. To me the lyrics are both uplifting and saddening at the same time. For one, I feel encouraged to do everything I can now in the present to help everyone so that I don't look back in the past and wish "only if." However, at the same time I am exactly like the narrator in the fact that I constantly look back on the past thinking about how different things could have been. The grunge movement could have lasted longer into my teens, the world could have experienced so much less pain and heartache, and our savior could have lived a longer life full of inspiration and miracles.
This song is so beautiful. The last verse is more biblical, but the first two I think have profound meaning. I love how the narrator talks about saving the life of Kurt Cobain as as holy a deed as going back in time to kill Hitler. Both are viewed as equally as righteous, and I love how Bern relegates saving one life to be as important as saving millions.
I also love how God in this song seems to not agree or disagree, but know that the narrator's 'humanness' would get in the way of him performing any of these deeds. It shows an awareness of the human condition in naked form, and Bern does a great job of writing from the point of view of what God might say.
I am not really religious, but this song has such a wide meaning, giving sympathy to the pain of human existence while at the same time arguing for its salvation. A true work of art. I heard this song first as a cover and it has quickly become a favorite.
