Untitled God Song
Haley Heynderickx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Has a trot in her walk
And her coach bags are knock-off
Her shoes are all dressed up
And she spins me around like a marionette
Oh my web is still spinning
My web is still spinning
My web is still spinning
Or maybe my god
Has thick hips and big lips
And the buttons she's pressing
She speaks every language
Shift A, right B, Nintendo 63
On her video, baby
The game she's been changing
When you're drunk near a sunset
Look straight in her eyes
She's a quick glimpse of heaven
Forgetting her headlights are on
When you misread her fortune
Don't misread the joke
She's the note on your lampshade
The honeycomb holding you
And she spins me around like a marionette
Oh my web is still spinning
My web is still spinning
My web is still spinning
You can't see it yet
In the song "Untitled God Song" by Haley Heynderickx, the artist explores different interpretations of God. She begins by suggesting that maybe her God is a woman who walks with a trot and carries knock-off Coach bags. Despite not conforming to societal expectations of what a typical God should look like, Heynderickx's God is still powerful enough to control her movements like a marionette. The line "my web is still spinning" suggests that Heynderickx is still figuring out her beliefs and that her understanding of God is still evolving.
Heynderickx then offers another perspective of God, this time as a woman with "thick hips and big lips". This God is portrayed as tech-savvy, speaking every language and playing video games. The line "the game she's been changing" can be interpreted as Heynderickx's way of suggesting that her God is capable of transforming her life in meaningful ways. Heynderickx concludes the song by describing her God as a comforting presence who is always present, even if people don't always notice her.
