Messiah
Nomy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a train that's coming every other day
It's a year for every day it's been away
And I'm counting all the people disappearing in the steam
It might just be the longest train I've seen (seen)

I see shadows holding hands and fade to gray
I see people lose their hope and fall away
I see daughters coming off that train to ease their fathers pain
And I wonder if I'll see you once again

(Fuck!)

I can't wait for another year
By the longest train
Ooh, in the coldest rain

All the homeless and the broken and the favored
On the same place with the same heart in their hands
And they're crying in a choir and a whistle like a scream
It might just be the longest train I've seen (seen)

I can't wait for another year
By the longest train
In the coldest rain

(Fuck!)

I can't wait for another year
By the longest train
Ooh, in the coldest rain

And if you return with a broken soul and you had a dream
You need to wake the fuck up! (wake the fuck up)
And if you believe in God bringing you home to a broken dream
You need to wake the fuck up! (wake the fuck up)
There's no Messiah, there's no God, there's no Heaven
There's no Messiah, there's no God, there's no Heaven

So another year
In the coldest rain

There's no Messiah, there's no God, there's no Heaven
There's no Messiah, there's no God, there's no Heaven
There's no Messiah, there's no God, there's no Heaven
There's no Messiah, there's no God, there's no Heaven

I can't wait
I can't wait





There's no Messiah, there's no God, there's no Heaven

Overall Meaning

The song "Messiah" by Nomy is a powerful critique of blind faith in religion and the idea that someone else will come to save us. The lyrics are heavy with imagery of a long train that takes people away from their problems, but ultimately doesn't provide any real solutions. The train is described as coming every other day, but taking a year for every day it's been away- suggesting that it's been gone for a very long time. The singer counts the people disappearing in the steam, perhaps symbolizing the idea that people are giving up or losing hope. The shadows holding hands and fading to gray could represent death or despair.


The second verse of the song introduces the idea that some people are waiting for a messiah or god to return and fix things, but the singer challenges this belief by saying that there is no messiah, no god, and no heaven. He tells listeners to "wake the fuck up" and stop relying on a fairy tale to save them. The song ends with the repeated refrain that there is no messiah, no god, and no heaven, suggesting that we need to take responsibility for our own lives and stop hoping for someone else to come and solve our problems.

Lyrics:


there's a train that's coming every other day
it's a year for every day its been away
i am counting all the people disappearing in the steam
it might just be the longest train i've seen

i see shadows holding hands that fade to gray
i see people losing hope and fall away
i see daughters coming off that train to ease their fathers pain
and i wonder if i'll see you once again

fuck i can wait for another day for the longest train in the coldest rain

all the hopeless and the broken and the favoured
in the same place with the same heart in their hands
and they're crying in a choir like a whistle like a scream
it might just be the longest train i've seen

i can wait for another year for the longest train in the coldest rain
fuck i can wait for another year for the longest train in the coldest rain

if you return with a broken soul and you had a dream you need to wake the fuck up
and if you believe in god bringing you home to a broken dream you need to wake the fuck up

there's no messiah
there's no god
there's no heaven

there's no messiah
there's no god
there's no heaven

so another year in the coldest rain

there's no messiah
there's no god
there's no heaven

there's no messiah
there's no god
there's no heaven

there's no messiah
there's no god
there's no heaven

there's no messiah
there's no god
there's no heaven

i can't wait
i can't wait

there's no messiah
there's no god
there's no heaven

I see people lose their hope and fall away

Fuck, I can't wait for another year
By the longest train
In the coldest rain

All the homeless and the broken and the vagrant?
In the same place with the same heart in their hands
And they're crying in a choir and a whistle like a scream
It might just be the longest train I've seen

I can't wait for another year
By the longest train
In the coldest rain

Fuck, I can't wait for another year
By the longest train
In the coldest rain

And if you return with a broken soul and you had a dream
You need to wake the fuck up
And if you believe in god bringing you home to a broken dream
You need to wake the fuck up

There's no Messiah
There's no God
There's no Heaven
(I can't wait)
(x2)

For another year
In the coldest rain

There's no Messiah
There's no God
There's no Heaven
(x4)

I can't wait (x2)

There's no Messiah
There's no God
There's no Heaven
