God
Octafonic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A cross, a sin, a holy spirit
at times, despair, sometimes I'm lonely
no greed, no pride, no lust, have mercy
our fear creates a god
Would you believe in God
and would you believe in the Holy Father
cannot find his candy bars
And would he believe in you
and would he believe if you read your bible?
and who´s gonna save little Johny´s cat got stuck up an apple tree
A cross, a sin, a holy spirit
at times, despair, sometimes, im lonely
no greed, no pride, no lust, have mercy
our fear creates a god
Would you believe in God
and would you believe in
what goes around comes around?
grandpa finds out
his last standing tooth retired
There's no need to know
embrace yourself in ja ja Hallelujah
relief from sin
where have you been
but it makes me wonder
on faith in the name of the Lord
Amen!
Would you believe in God
and would you believe that he walked on water
and whose gonna find forgiveness on a mystic trip to Mexico
Theres no need to know
embrace yourself in ja ja Hallelujah
relief from sin
where have you been
but it makes me wonder
on faith in the name of the Lord
A cross, a sin, a holy spirit
at times, despair, sometimes I'm lonely
no greed, no pride, no lust, have mercy
our fear creates a God
a God
our fear creates a God!
Octafonic's song "God" explores the theme of belief in God and how different experiences can shape our perception of God. The song opens with the phrases "a cross, a sin, a holy spirit" that reference the Christian belief in the holy trinity, but it also alludes to the idea that our perception of God is shaped by our experiences, which can include times of despair and loneliness. The next line "no greed, no pride, no lust, have mercy" highlights some of the basic principles of major religions such as Christianity, Islam, and Judaism.
The chorus poses a series of rhetorical questions about belief in God and whether and how that belief is shaped by the Bible and other religious texts. It also mentions "little John," who cannot find his candy bars and whose cat has climbed up an apple tree, suggesting that even the most mundane aspects of our lives can be affected by our beliefs.
The song concludes with the repeated phrase "our fear creates a God" suggesting that our experiences and emotions shape our beliefs in a higher power. Overall, Octafonic's song "God" explores the complex and multifaceted nature of belief and skepticism towards religion.
