Message to God
Little Birdy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I haven't lost my mind
I go along with you
I take it all away
But baby let me float along to the place where I was born
I'm only holding grace
Its just a crying game that you take
O with you
won't somebody please write a message to god
So won't you come and walk with me
Take me down by the shore
Deep among the sharks
There's a song I know you sing
But you live you're life alone
You live it so you grow
There's little time to grasp
I'm not the one you want so I go
won't somebody please write a message to god
Won't somebody please write a message to god
Today I feel like the
World is gonna end
The end is the end
Go ahead don't cry
Baby
I'm on my own
Baby
I'm on my own
The lyrics to Little Birdy's song "Message to God" convey a sense of confusion and detachment from the world. The first two lines suggest that the singer is struggling to keep up with the complexities of life and is at risk of losing control. However, the next few lines offer a glimmer of hope, as the singer expresses a willingness to follow someone else and let go of their worries. The line "I'm only holding grace" implies that the singer is seeking some kind of higher power or divine intervention to get through their troubles.
The chorus, "won't somebody please write a message to god," underscores the sense of desperation and helplessness that the singer feels. They are looking for a way out of their predicament, but don't know where to turn. The second verse introduces a new character, someone who seems more knowledgeable or experienced than the singer. This person might know a "song" that can help them through their troubles, but they are also somewhat aloof and unwilling to share their secrets. The final lines of the song seem to suggest that the singer is resigned to their fate and ready to face whatever "end" might be coming their way.
Overall, "Message to God" is a poignant and introspective song that explores themes of faith, fear, and human connection. It invites the listener to reflect on their own struggles and consider the role that spirituality and community might play in helping them find a way forward.
