European Skies
IDK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doves don't chirp in the middle of the night
If the Son of God came in the form of a bird
It wouldn't ever fly
European sky
They say seein' is believin'
Well, I don't see angel nor demon
Well, pastor, your theory lacks reason
Meanin', when I ask Google the question even Siri lacks speakin'
It's semen, the sperm travelin' to the egg
Makes more sense than Adam and evenings of Gospel
Your book's speaketh of birth
But don't speaketh of fossils
It's awful how often we argue about these religions
What's right and what's sinnin'?
Who's lost and who's winnin'?
While the winters of the ones without homes are too chillin'
Would hell be a better place?
They say it's warm there
They say we all sin, so our people would swarm there
There must be a lot of room in Heaven because only a baby is pure
So maybe we're born there
Maybe the division of religion
Would cause us to be torn there, Earth is so dirty
We come from the dust of the dirt from the Earth, Earth is so dirty
We're told to not love worldly things
But we come from the dirt of the Earth and the Earth is so worldly
As we fidget spin around the sun and the night swallows the day
Remember that for some, um
Sun don't shine in the middle of November or December
Doves don't chirp in the middle of the night
If the Son of God came in the form of a bird
It wouldn't ever fly
European sky
Close your eyes
and take a deep breath as IDK's song European Skies takes you on a journey of questioning religion and philosophy. The first verse addresses the impossibility of certain occurrences in the world, such as the sun shining in the middle of winter or a dove chirping in the middle of the night. IDK then imagines the Son of God coming in bird form, highlighting the absurdity of religious beliefs. This leads to the chorus, in which the European sky serves as a backdrop for these deep questions to arise.
The second verse delves into the confusion and lack of reasoning behind religion. IDK questions the pastor's ability to provide a tangible explanation and ponders on the scientific explanation of the male sperm traveling to the female egg, which makes more logical sense than religious origins. He then criticizes the Bible for speaking of birth, but not fossils, highlighting the contradiction of beliefs. He points out the futility of religious division and the ignorance of arguing over who's right and who's wrong. The verse ends with the heartbreaking reality of homelessness during the winter, while people argue over religious beliefs.
The final verse highlights the irony of not loving worldly things, yet coming from the dirt of the worldly Earth. IDK remarks on how we're spinning around the sun, but it's all relative because not everyone has the same experiences. He encourages the listener to close their eyes and take a deep breath, reminding them to appreciate the present as it is.
Overall, IDK's song European Skies is a captivating, philosophical journey that encourages questioning beliefs and appreciating the present.
