Cover art for Relief lyrics by Cold War Kids

To me it kind of seems like a song from God to people on Earth.

"Flashflood, you got too comfortable So I showed you, who's really in control" Noah and the ark?

'Oh my thank you for keeping me safe' Maybe a prayer?

"You never really know what you can't really see I'll be there, I'll be there" You can't see God but he's there

I could be totally off base but that's what I got from it.
