A Conversation With God Lyrics

Cover art for A Conversation With God lyrics by Darren Hayes

The singer (call him D) is being led astray by someone he thought was God but is really depression personified.

So D is driving along in life with this person he thinks is God. Yet the drive and his life is going bad - it's raining hard with bad emotion and he's all alone. He sees he is being led to death or destruction (off the bridge) (this truth was previously hidden and covered in fog) and he argues - this is not what he wants!

His hands fly off the steering wheel. He loses control of the vehicle - and his life - he has done something bad. Or in sudden realisation of what he is doing, his hands do a face palm lol. He doesn't know how he got himself into such a situation. If he could he would go back in time and stop himself then.. but there is no way to go back in time.

"Take the hand of God and bite the feeder." He "bites the hand that feeds him" - ignores the people trying to help him and keeps on with who he thinks is God. Now the voice of depression is screaming at him. D only nods and obeys. He no longer argues since he feels there is no way back. He's in pain and he just wants to die and be in the grave where depression lives. So he dies and then he realises that who he thought was God or good was really depression.

"the voice of God is laced with sarcasm in your hands" It wasn't god's voice after all! It was really a voice put on by the depression!
