God
Attic Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't cry, you've already cried a river
Feel like, Maybe I'm feeling bitter
Fall down, now all I can do is shiver
God, I'll be a better man
Never let her down try and understand
God, I'll be a better guy
So long, I have to get my jacket
This queue, feels like I'm caught in traffic
The doubt starts to hit me like rain
I'll never see her again
God, why did you let me down
Standing all alone in the centre of town
God, you just let me drown
Making me feel hopeful when there's no-one around
God, I'll be a better man
Never let her down try and understand
God, I'll be a better guy
Always been a fool for all the fools going by
(fools going by...)
I waited outside for her, she never waited for me
Waited outside for her, she never waited for me
She never waited for me
She never waited
Outside, It's windy and stormy weather
Don't cry, you've already cried a river
Walk past, all of the drunken steamers
Like me, broken and tired dreamers
God, why did you let me down
Standing all alone in the centre of town
God, you just let me drown
Making me feel hopeful when there's no-one around
(there's no-one around...)
The lyrics to "God" by Attic Lights depict a man who is struggling to come to terms with a failed relationship. The song begins with a description of the weather outside, reflecting the singer's inner turmoil, stating that it's "windy and stormy". He acknowledges that he has already shed tears over the situation, suggesting that he has hit a breaking point. The line "Maybe I'm feeling bitter" signals that he is experiencing negative emotions, and the line "Fall down, now all I can do is shiver" implies that he is feeling vulnerable and unable to move forward.
The chorus of the song consists of a plea to God, with the singer asking for help to become a better man and a better partner. He expresses regret for his past actions, promising to never let her down again. The line "Always been a fool for all the fools going by" reveals that he is aware of his past mistakes and is hoping for another chance. However, the following verse suggests that his situation is not likely to improve, as he feels abandoned by God and left alone to deal with his pain.
The song ends with the repetition of the lines "She never waited for me", highlighting the singer's sense of loss and loneliness. Overall, "God" is a poignant and emotional song about the struggle to move on from a failed relationship and the desire to become a better person.
