A Simple Restriction
God Module Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You have no control over me
I'm not groveling at your feet
Left alone I don't know where you are
Somewhere hidden among all the stars
Are dead
And we all believe this because it's been said
And why would I lie if I can get in your head
To change who you are
To make you how I want you to be
How could you exist without me

You think you can read my mind
Contort my movements , take away my time
Leave me in the state that I found you
Helpless insane unable to control
Your pain
Reminds us that we are still alive
Haunted by the fear of the day that we'll die
And see the world how it is
Not how we want it to be
None of this exists without me

A simple restriction make us see
That not everything is how we want it to be




A simple restriction changes me
Into someone I never wanted to be

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of God Module's song "A Simple Restriction" seem to be about the loss of control and freedom, and how it can change a person. The song implies a power dynamic between two individuals, with one person being subordinate to the other. The first verse seems to suggest that the singer is not subservient to the other person, and that they cannot control them. The lyrics "How could you exist without me" suggest that the singer has control over the other person's existence, and without them, the other person would not be able to exist.


The second verse implies that the other person is trying to control the singer, and that they are attempting to change them into someone they are not. The line "Your pain reminds us that we are still alive" suggests that the other person is experiencing pain, and that this is causing them to feel alive. The last line "None of this exists without me" suggests that the person being controlled is essential to the other person's life in some way.


Overall, the song seems to depict a toxic and controlling relationship, with the person in control exerting their power over the other person. The chorus, "A simple restriction make us see that not everything is how we want it to be, a simple restriction changes me into someone I never wanted to be" seems to suggest that the person being controlled is aware of the situation, and recognizes that this control is changing them into someone they do not want to be.
