Lyric discussion by MarcelDwayne 

i think that most of u are missing the beautiful truth in this song.

Dear god, is meant to be Dear nothing. this poem isnt meant for any "god" or religion it is just him speaking to the random of our universe. Speaking to the nothing which has created us.

for if god doesnt "hear us" then we are speaking to nothing. we invented god as a larger imaginary friend, which most humans are too weak to live without.

to anyone who has come to this songs meaning, and is an atheist or maybe looking into atheism. i sincerely recommend TOOL!! they convey the atheist philosophy so well that actual Phd. proffesors refer to maynards lyrics as substantial philosophical ideas of our time.
