As I was just listening to it the part that says "I beg I plead but this is all that I have gotten" made me think about someone praying so it occurred to me that maybe he is in fact addressing God.... which would make the whole thing kind of ironic in a way... saying a God is "godless" is funny, but oddly true... It seems pretty accurate to describe God as if he were a shitty friend
I'm not entirely sure whether it's "spotless" or "thoughtless as you were back then", but if its the latter, as I feel it is, it reminds me of God in the Old Testament.. I mean he was pretty cruel and reckless back then from what I've been told.. with war waging and other nonsense... If it's "spotless" I feel the speaker is being sarcastic, although I think "thoughtless" is the right word
He makes God out to be kind of a needy, whiny child or a needy friend at best... When he says "I guess you're lonely when, I gave you all it took so then..." I couldn't help but to think of how back in the day people would sacrifice sheep and goats and virgins and what not to placate the gods.... I guess that whole thing has somewhat been phased out at this point in Christian culture, but it sounds like the speaker is rationalizing this change in a way by saying that he guesses God was lonely back then...
