What I love about the Mountain Goats is how deep the lyrics can be on so many levels. This one is a good example. I can easily see how this is a pretty dark song about someone at the end of their rope. But its funny to me that if this song were applied to another person's experiences it could be construed as a legit worship tune...
Very true. For me, this song is as sick and despairing as if they'd been singing about heroin instead of God keeping them going. But for a believer, it could sound quite sincere.
