I Don't Know
Diversion 4.0 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love my god, god made love
I love my god, god made love
I love my god, god made hate
I love my god, god made hate
I love my god, god made good
I love my god, god made good
I love my god, god made bad
I love my god, god made me

But I don't wanna pray to my maker
I just wanna be what I see
Not just who I am, but the pink in golden land
And that wide wild sky over me
Help me to the sun, hey I'm looking everywhere
See I'm looking to become not the prayer, but the prayer.
And now I don't wanna pray, no
I say I don't wanna pray, no
And I, I don't wanna pray
I don't wanna pray

I love my god, god made love
I love my god, god made love
I love my god, god made good
I love my god, god made hate
I love my god, god made bad
I love my god, god made

I don't wanna pray to my maker
I just wanna be feelin' free
Not like in a book, or the leaves of trees that shook
From a word that means only not a thing
Pardon god and mom, what I'm sayin' isn't fair
See I'm looking to become, not the prayer but the prayer
And now I don't want to pray
I say I don't wanna pray
I don't wanna pray
Who don't wanna pray

Not much good to talk, better to walk it
Not much good to take, better to give
We are gone forgiven and forgotten of our sins
I promise you my friend all that dies will live again
Pardon god and mom, what I'm sayin' isn't fare
See I'm looking to become, not the prayer but the prayer
And now I don't want to pray
No, they say I don't wanna pray
I don't wanna pray
Who don't wanna pray

I love my god, god made love
I love my god, god made love
I love my god, god made hate
I love my god, god made hate
I love my god, god made good
I love my god, god made good




I love my god, god made bad
I love my god, god made me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I Don't Know" by Diversion 4.0 are a reflection on the singer's relationship with their faith and the concept of prayer. The repeated lines expressing love for God and the things God has created - love, hate, good, bad - suggest a deep reverence for the divine, but the singer ultimately declares that they don't want to pray to their maker. Instead, they express a desire to be free and to embody the beauty they see in the world around them, rather than conforming to a prescribed religious practice.


The second verse further illustrates this rejection of religious dogma, with the singer questioning the validity of traditional sources of wisdom like books and even the natural world, which "shook / From a word that means only not a thing." This rejection is tempered by an acknowledgement of the singer's own fallibility, expressed in the phrase "Pardon god and mom, what I'm sayin' isn't fair." The final verse offers a hopeful vision of forgiveness and redemption, with a promise that "all that dies will live again."


Overall, the lyrics of "I Don't Know" suggest a tension between a deep, instinctive love and reverence for the divine and a rejection of traditional religious practices and beliefs. The singer seems to be searching for a more free and personal connection with the divine, rather than relying on established practices or ideas.

"Where's your bill of sale? Where's your title?" At home. Do not carry your title with you. It even says so on the title.

@Danol123

Lol. Really? In Norway you must have it in your vehicle at all times wich it states on the registration/title. It comes with 2 parts. Both as titles, but part 1 includes registration required with the vehicle, while part 2 should stay at home.
