Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a thousand years a women had to walk the streets in fear
There goes the men bullying the women as he walks through life
There goes the men bullying the women as he walks through life
And then livin the life
I tell you someday brother, the Goddess will return
On that day brother
You are gonna burn
You are gonna burn
And a men can't understand that all he wants is the upper hand
Men can't quite understand, when all he wants is the upper hand
And the world know cant believe he said she cant be talking to me
And the world know he cant believe he thinks she cant be talking to me, she's not talking to me
I'll tell you someday brother, the Goddess will return
On that day brother
You are gonna burn
You are gonna burn
You are gonna burn
For a thousand years, the women had to walk in fear
For a thousand years, the women had to walk streets in fear
He had a ?for the self esteem, and he blames it on sexuality
I'll tell you someday brother, the Goddess will return
On that day brother
You are gonna burn
You are gonna burn
You are gonna burn
The lyrics of Mark Sandman's song "Goddess" tackles the issue of gender inequality that has been perpetuated for a thousand years. Specifically, it delves into the fear and bullying that women experience as they walk in the streets of society dominated by men. The song acknowledges the power dynamics between men and women, where men strive to gain the upper hand and control over women's lives. In the song, the world cannot believe and understand why women are speaking up against the patriarchal system.
However, the lyrics also provide hope for change. The singer believes that someday the Goddess will return, a symbol of female empowerment, and on that day, men who have been abusing their power will face retribution. The line "you are going to burn" emphasizes the severity of the punishment that awaits them. The song suggests that the imbalance between men and women in society cannot continue and that a time will come when women will no longer be oppressed and controlled.
Overall, "Goddess" is a commentary on the struggles that women face in a male-dominated society, but it also promotes the idea of change and empowerment for women.
