GOD
Bride Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We leave to a better place
And all I know is what you left
A love I can't erase
All the same in love and war
Burn my name and ashes scorn
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So god bless you
Well god bless you
Shed those faded memories
This is your curtain call
I've had enough of sympathy
It's time to watch you fall
All the same in love and war
You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So god bless you
So god bless you
God bless you
God bless you
God bless you
You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So god bless you
You left me with these broken lies
And I let you
Got no more time for your goodbyes
So god bless you
So god bless you
God bless you
God bless you
God bless you
The Bride's song God could be interpreted as a message to a lover who has passed away. The opening lines suggest that the person has heard it all before, that people always say those who have left us are in a better place. The singer acknowledges that they can't forget the love this person brought into their life, but they are also holding onto the hurt that they have caused. The lyrics "You left me with these broken lies, And I let you" suggest that perhaps the person who has passed was not entirely honest or reliable, but the singer allowed themselves to be drawn into the situation anyway.
The chorus seems to be a mixture of anger and compassion, wishing the person well but also acknowledging the negative impact they had on their life, "Got no more time for your goodbyes, So god bless you". The second verse is more aggressive in tone, with lines such as "Shed those faded memories, This is your curtain call" indicating that the person is gone and should stay gone. However, there is still a sense of loss and pain from the memory of what was once a loving relationship.
The repetition of "God bless you" throughout the song could point to the idea that the singer is trying to forgive this person and move on. The alternating tone of frustration and acceptance, anger and caring create an emotionally complex narrative that speaks to the difficult aspects of love and loss.
