PRIDE
Godhead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't know what you feel inside.
But your face can't hide your foolish pride.

Keep in mind all you left behind
Was in chains that bind: is that a sign?

I can't read what you keep inside your mind,
Protecting what I find within your walls.

Things I feel that I know just can't be real.
Trick and try to steal my life away.

Cold deception goes both ways.
Watch yourself or you'll get bathed.
In the darkness that is light.
As your spirit dies tonight.

I'll tell you something- I know I must be strong.
For your giving me something- That I know is wrong.

I can't know what you feel inside,
But your face can't hide your foolish pride.

Keep in mind all you left behind
Was in chains that bind: is that a sign?

Your intentions become clear.
All deceptions disappear.
The inception of your plan.
Marks the end of modern man.





I'll tell you something- I know I must be strong.
For your giving me something- That I know is wrong.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Godhead's song Pride, appear to be about the complexities of human emotions and the difficulty in understanding the feelings of others. The first verse may suggest that despite not knowing what another person is feeling, one can still see through their facade or mask of pride, and detect the foolishness in their behavior. The second verse seems to reflect on the consequences of one's actions and the possible regret that may follow. The lines, "Keep in mind all you left behind, was in chains that bind: is that a sign?" could indicate that our past choices and decisions can hold us back, restricting our freedom and potential.


In the chorus, the singer goes on to ponder the idea of deception, and the difficulty in deciphering what is real and what isn't. There may be a sense of mistrust or uncertainty towards another person, with the line "Trick and try to steal my life away" suggesting someone trying to take advantage of the singer. The bridge of the song appears to be a warning, as the singer acknowledges their own vulnerability, but also recognizes the wrongness of the situation.
