Tunnel
God Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't help It...
But i hate it
I said i can't help it!

There goes the night sky
I'm off to cloud nine
Might not come back down (down down)
I'm tryna numb the pain
That you've left behind
Might even try wine wine (wine wine)

The memories you tryna hide
Are the easiest to find
And I wake up every morning
Your the first thing on my mind

And I can't help it
But I hate it
I said i can't Help it
So i hate it

And that's why I can't trust myself around you
Yeah that's why I can't trust myself around you

You give me tunnel vision
So keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
Just keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
So keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
Just keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
So keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
Just keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
So keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
Just keep your distance

Illuminated by your moon light
I was so blind round you
And when emotions finally took flight
I didn't know what to do
So I picked up a few habits
I start drinking
Ashamed nothing's the same
Just to keep distracted
Calling women bitches
I Even change my name
But...

Nothing will change And I hate
Nothing will change So I hate

And that's why I can't trust myself around you
Yeah that's why I can't trust myself around you

You give me tunnel vision
So keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
Just keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
So keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
Just keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
So keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
Just keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
So keep your distance
You give me tunnel vision
Just keep your distance

And I can't It...




But i hate it
I said i can't help it!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of God's song "Tunnel" express a conflicting mix of emotions towards someone who has caused pain and heartbreak. The singer acknowledges their inability to control their feelings, confessing, "I can't help it, but I hate it." The night sky symbolizes escapism and a desire to be in a state of blissful ignorance, represented by "cloud nine." However, there is a fear of losing touch with reality, as indicated by the uncertainty of returning back to earth.


The pain inflicted by the person in question is so potent that the singer attempts to numb it with various methods, such as drinking wine. Despite the person's attempts to hide their memories, they remain easily accessible to the singer's mind. Each morning, they wake up with thoughts of this person, unable to forget.


The chorus highlights the singer's inability to trust themselves when they are around this person. They suffer from tunnel vision, meaning their focus becomes laser-focused on this individual, while everything else fades into the background. To protect themselves, the singer implores this person to keep their distance. The illuminated moonlight represents how the singer's clarity and understanding were once clouded by their feelings towards this person.


The second verse reveals that the singer has developed unhealthy coping mechanisms to deal with the pain inflicted by this person. They turn to drinking excessively, changing their name, and even resorting to derogatory language towards women. However, no matter what they do, nothing changes, and their hatred intensifies.


In summary, "Tunnel" is a song that portrays the internal struggle of trying to distance oneself from a toxic relationship and the frustration that comes from not being able to control one's feelings.
