13 & God Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are troubled men just the same
But we're not as hell as you
as hell as you
but we're not as hell as you
In "Men_of_Station," the band 13 & God explores the concept of status and how those who hold positions of power or wealth are not necessarily any happier or more fulfilled than anyone else. The lyrics suggest that although the individuals who are "men of station" may have higher standing in society, they are still troubled and dealing with personal struggles just like everyone else. The repetition of the phrase "but we're not as hell as you" emphasizes the point that those in lower positions or with less wealth may assume that those in power have it easy, but that is not necessarily the case.
The song may also hint at the idea of the pressure and expectations that come with being successful or important, which can lead to isolation and difficulties in personal relationships. The song suggests that the "men of station" have complicated lives, and despite their status, they are not immune to human struggles.
Line by Line Meaning
We are men of station
We hold positions of power and influence
We are troubled men just the same
Despite our positions of power, we still face personal struggles and difficulties
But we're not as hell as you
We may have our own demons to face, but we are not as deeply troubled as others
as hell as you
Emphasizing the degree of distress and turmoil experienced by others compared to ourselves
