Craving
Godhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't see myself too clearly, the clouds are rolling in.
I can't hear the noise around me but I know the sound of sin.
Where will I be when the world falls down?
Head first in the mud bent over with Devils all around.

Kill this craving,
I can't stop myself.
Calling for me in my sleep I hear the sirens flying in.
Can't turn back I'm in too deep I take another shot of gin.
Keeping the world from consuming me.
Can't hold back the demon growling from deep within my skin.

Kill this craving,
I can't stop myself.
Madness, raving.

Take me straight to Hell.

Calling for me in my sleep- can't turn back I'm in too deep.
As she rides upon my chest- pain or joy I love her best.




Takes me far into her soul- crawling, churning, can't let go.
As I ride upon her breast- takes me down before I save my soul...

Overall Meaning

The second verse describes the intensity of the cravings, almost like a call in the night that the person cannot resist. Despite the clear danger, they continue to give in to their addiction, feeling as though a demon inside them is calling out to be fed. The final lines hint at the character's willingness to trade their soul for the temporary high that their addiction provides.


The overall theme of the song is a lament about the devastating effects of addiction on one's physical and mental health. The lyrics offer a glimpse into the desperation and hopelessness that come with substance abuse, and the desire to be released from it.
