God Beyond God
D+ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm on the edge of a pride that comes before a fall
Roots of our nation like trees, tall and stout
Our blood's not tyrants(?), look out, look out, look out
I feel the blood rushing back into my veins
I'm waking up to a turning pain
Feelin' dull, arms weight down my side
Cut them off and see what death they hide
God beyond God bless america
I'm praying to you
God beyond God beyond God beyond God...
Wish you were true
I'm getting tired of our hands hanging loose and dead
Lay down your arms, you are done, I'm praising him
Don't use our strength to heal
Don't exercise the right, our demons win
We're heating up, the roots are burning hot
Baking up all of those kings before they rot
Wealth of our nation just lying on the ground
Fruits of what we believe are wasted on the ground
You are the peace that rises like the sun
Somehow you slice the pie enough for everyone
Enough, enough, enough, enough,
enough, enough, enough, enough,
God beyond God bless america.
Killin' for you.
God beyond God beyond God beyond God
What can we do?
enough, enough, enough, enough, for everyone
enough, enough, enough, enough, for everyone
enough, enough, enough, enough, for everyone
enough, enough, enough, enough, for everyone
enough, enough, enough, enough, for everyone
enough, enough, enough, enough, for everyone
The lyrics of D+'s song God Beyond God are complex and contain a mix of patriotism, spirituality, and social commentary. The opening lines show the singer's allegiance to the founding principles of the country - Liberty and Justice for all. However, there is a feeling of imminent danger as the singer senses the pride that precedes a fall. The following lines compare the roots of the nation to trees that are strong and tall, but their blood is not that of tyrants. This could be interpreted as a display of nationalistic fervor, but there is also a warning to look out and be cautious.
The tone of the song then shifts to a personal struggle as the singer feels the blood rushing back into their veins, waking up to a turning pain. This could be the discomfort and realization of the societal issues that are plaguing the country. The next lines emphasize this point, as the singer talks about the wasted wealth and fruits of what the nation believed in, lying on the ground. The singer then beseeches God beyond God to bless America, but also questions if this being is true. The song ends with a plea to somehow slice the pie enough for everyone - an appeal for equality and justice.
Overall, the interpretation of the lyrics could be that the song speaks of a love for the country, but recognizes the problems that exist, and asks for God's intervention to bring about a positive change.
