God
지민 (AOA) J.DON (이승협 Of N.Flying) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where he sits when he's able
To walk over from bedridden misery
To record from his thoughts
On a worn out table cloth
Where he'd been while
His mind breaks sleeplessly
You know, he's still out on that stage
Entertaining all his friends
That pause to greet him at the door
Forty-nine years out on the road
Many nights he'd saved a soul
Now he sits and waits
To claim his own reward
God's own singer of songs is going home
Though he's poor, he might be
The richest one you know
All his pain will set him free
Wash his soul and cleans him clean
God's own singer of songs is going home
God's own singer of songs is going home
These lyrics describe an old man who spends his days sitting at a table and recording his thoughts. He is bedridden but still has a lively spirit, as he entertains his friends who come to visit him. The man is a singer who has spent 49 years on the road, saving souls with his music. Now, he waits to claim his reward and go home to God.
The song uses powerful imagery to evoke a portrait of a man who has spent his life singing and performing. The setting of the straight-backed chair and table, which is shrouded in a worn-out tablecloth, creates a feeling of the passage of time and hints at the old man's age. The line "Though his body's bent with age, you know he's still out on that stage" is particularly moving, as it points to the man's enduring spirit and the uncontainable passion he has for music.
Overall, "God" is a poignant and deeply emotional song that pays tribute to a man who has dedicated his life to music and to others. It reminds us of the power of music to connect us and the timeless nature of art.

@MichaelAury
5 types of haters
some hyuna stans/troublemaker stans, some cheetah stans, self-proclaimed rap experts/purists, FNC/AOA antis, and some YG stans
I love all those artists, but seriously, y'all need to chill and stand up and dance to this.
@nic.nicholas
Michael Aury Frankly, I don't see the reason for nor do I understand why are Hyuna/Troublemaker stans here posting negative comments here in the first place since the only similarity Jimin N J.Don has to Troublemaker is that there's a guy and a girl in the unit lol.
@meranazmi5122
