"i dont see why there isnt any comments for this song-i know its originally by pedro the lion-but its still an awesome song...i like it cuz of what i think it means-like..."god" isnt there 2 help us he doesnt give a crap about anything, and in my opinion-hes not there at all...atheism yaeh"
Yup, definitely what the song is about. Covered from an openly Christian songwriter by a band fronted by a devout Christian. The song by Pedro the Lion is part of a concept album, this is from a character in the story's view. However, like most songs there is a meaning behind it though it its from a concept album. My take on it is that when the character is crying out to Jesus, Jesus is smiling and looking away because it is all part of a greater, bigger plan that He has for all of us, accept it or not. He doesn't "help" the character because to give the character what they want wouldn't help him because the character doesn't know what's good for him/her. Basically, Jesus is smiling almost in a joking way as if to say "He/she'll thank me in the long run."
