Godless
BANKS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm into the darkness
That you feel a worse divine
'Cause I felt the power when I laid down by your side
I felt the rhythm, I felt the fever in your mind
I couldn't save you, but at least I say I tried

If your love was ever mine
It would stay with me tonight
I'm praying, praying
You can see it in my eyes
There's a raise that still reminds me
I'm waiting, waiting

You don't believe in one divine
But can you tell me you believe in mine?
'Cause you've been my God, my God
And when you're gone, I'm Godless, I'm Godless
You don't believe in love
But can you say that you've been thinking of us?
'Cause you've been my God, my God
And when you're gone, I'm Godless, I'm Godless

I swallow my fable that I was not enough
But with my eyes closed, I'm still dancing in your love
Inside, I'm dreaming I'll be alone with you again
And I can still hold you like I held you in the end

You don't believe in one divine
But can you tell me you believe in mine?
'Cause you've been my God, my God
And when you're gone, I'm Godless, I'm Godless
You don't believe in love
But can you say that you've been thinking of us? (Thinking of us)
'Cause you've been my God, my God
And when you're gone, I'm Godless, I'm Godless

If your love was ever mine
It would stay with me tonight
I'm praying, praying
You can see it in my eyes
There's a bridge that still reminds me
I'm waiting (I'm waiting), waiting (waiting)

You don't believe in one divine
But can you tell me you believe in mine?
'Cause you've been my God, my God
And when you're gone, I'm Godless, I'm Godless
You don't believe in love
But can you say that you've been thinking of us? (Thinking of us)




'Cause you've been my God, my God
And when you're gone, I'm Godless, I'm Godless

Overall Meaning

In "Godless", the artist is expressing their feelings of loss and longing for someone who they see as their God, their everything. They are into the darkness or the uncertainty that this feeling brings, and see it as a divine experience. Even though they couldn't save this person, they still hold onto the hope that they will come back and that their love will stay with them. The artist believes that this person has been their God, and without them, they feel lost and alone. They ask if this person believes in their love, and if they have been thinking of them, hoping that they are still on their mind and that they still hold a special place in their heart.


The lyrics imply a deep emotional connection with the person they are singing about, and the pain of separation is clear. The artist admits that they may not have been enough for this person, but they still long for them and dream of being with them again. They pray that this person can see the love in their eyes and that they will come back to them. The bridge links the present moment with the past, a reminder of what they had and what they lost, intensifying the feeling of longing and waiting.

Lyrics:


Fell into the darkness
Did you feel a lost divine?
'Cause I felt the power when
I lay down at your side
I felt the rhythm
I felt the fever in your mind
I couldn't save you but
At least I say I tried

If your love was ever mine
It will stay with me tonight
I'm praying, praying
You can see it in my eyes
There's a reason, still reminds me
I'm waiting, waiting

You don't believe in one divide
But can you tell me you'll believe in mine?
'Cause you've been my God, my God
And when you're gone, I'm godless, I'm godless
You don't believe in love
But can you say that you've been thinking of us?
'Cause you've been my God, my God
And when you're gone, I'm godless, I'm godless

Swallow my fable
Little is not enough
Though with my eyes closed
I'm still dancing in your love
Inside I'm dreaming
I'll be alone with you again
And I can still hold you like
I held you in the end

You don't believe in one divide
But can you tell me you'll believe in mine?
'Cause you've been my God, my God
And when you're gone, I'm godless, I'm godless
You don't believe in love
But can you say that you've been thinking of us?
'Cause you've been my God, my God
And when you're gone, I'm godless, I'm godless

If your love was ever mine
It will stay with me tonight
I'm praying, praying
You can see it in my eyes
There's a reason, still reminds me
I'm waiting, waiting

The fact that Godless was originally about Her, Co-written by her ex. Blows my mind. 🤯

justschr

@X She doesn’t say who the guy is.

X

@justschr who's 'him'? I cant find any info on any guys BANKS has dated except her current.

Julia Charpia

Love that for her

justschr

@Niña Niño Films She doesn’t say and I doubt he’s listed as a writer or producer as she says the song was unfinished when it was given to her and probably went through several rewrites before it made it on the album. She mentions that she dated him during the making of the Goddess album and wrote about said ex on The Alter.

I cannot get over the fact that her ex gave her the unfinished song and she said she could finish it herself and now we can listen to it here on this album. No need to say IT IS JUST SO FUCKING GOOD. Also it is so beautiful that the person she dated during Goddess era writes a song for her called "Godless" yeah I can totally understand, losing Banks must have felt like that.

GORGEOUSBAEBEAUTY
