Hed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see your lips moving, but nothing's coming out
Who can believe a single word that you're saying
I see your lips moving& but I can't figure it out
I'm afraid of the crucifix hanging on my wall
You hear yourself screaming,but nothing's coming out
I'm afraid of the shadows dancing on my wall
I know my limitations
I just don't know when to quit
I know when I'm addicted
But no, I can't get enough of that shit, what?
Jesus, make everything all right
Where'd everybody go?
I know I'm losing, but I don't know what to do
Sweet jesus make it go away
Mary, joseph what I should I say?
What do I do?
When I was alone you just laughed at me
I held out my hand, you just closed your eyes
I only wanted to be good
All I wanted was a chance to make things right
Jesus, make everything all right
Twenty thousand leagues deep on the mic
Mass murder, court convicted, terroristic creature of the night
No, don't let me get freaky tonight
No, don't feed me tonight
I been drinking way to much jagermeister
Mommy pray for me, cause I'm not feeling right
I've been hearing these voices
They're telling me to take my own life
Breathe my last breath, eat my last meal
You got what you deserve
How's that feel?
The song "Jesus" by Hed is about feeling lost and seeking guidance from a higher power. The first verse describes the singer's distrust of someone who they perceive as insincere or untrustworthy. The singer sees their lips moving, but they cannot make sense of their words. The second part of the verse talks about the fear of a symbol of religion, a crucifix, which hangs on the singer's wall. They hear themselves screaming, but it seems as if no one can hear them. The singer then mentions their fear of the shadows dancing on their wall, which seem to be mocking them.
The second verse begins with the singer expressing their awareness of their own limitations and addictions. They know when they are addicted to something, but they cannot control themselves from seeking it out. The chorus follows, with the singer pleading for Jesus to make everything alright. They are lost and do not know what to do or say. The last line of the chorus mentions Mary and Joseph, who are the parents of Jesus in Christian tradition.
The last verse of the song takes a darker turn. The singer talks about being alone and feeling as though they are being laughed at. They reach out for help, but those around them do not respond. The singer then mentions the voices in their head that are telling them to take their own life. The verse ends with the singer questioning if they will get what they deserve in the end.
Overall, "Jesus" is a song about feeling lost and alone in the world and seeking guidance from a higher power. The singer feels as though they are surrounded by darkness and cannot find their way out without help.
