Anthem
Agents of Oblivion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am God, don't love you anymore
Down in New Orleans
I know where the devil dwells
Within ya
I have loved the whore
I know how it feels down there
Down in New Orleans
Between the teeth of whores
God don't love you anymore
Down there
Down in New Orleans
The lyrics of the song Anthem by Agents of Oblivion talk about the darker side of New Orleans, delving into themes of love, religion, and sin. The opening line "I spy yellow green roses in Mary's garden" sets the tone for the rest of the song, which continues to describe a city filled with hidden secrets and questionable morals. The lyrics "I am God, don't love you anymore" suggest a loss of faith and the feeling of being abandoned by a higher power.
The chorus mentions "the devil" and "the whore," indicating a place of lust, temptation, and moral decay. The repetition of "down in New Orleans" emphasizes the location and the sense of being trapped in a place that is both alluring and dangerous. The final lines of the song "I spy yellow blue sky pie between the teeth of whores, God don't love you anymore, down there, down in New Orleans" combine images of innocence and corruption in a surrealistic manner, highlighting the contradictions and complexities of the city.
