GOD
Paco Pil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clinches others have concocted for you
Pre-fabricated, pre-conception
Worn like the walls all around you, all around you
How good to walk with the caprice of God?
How good to talk with the caprice of God?
Build your ivory tower so you can scratch the sky
How now could I forget to that, you're not finished yet tonight
All that you have done, still adding up for the sum
This totem has some use, this total of abuse
Real life is never used as truth
Angry artillery on your tongue
Bows and arrows highly strung
Same shadows I can see right through
Whenever I, I picture you
How good to walk with the caprice of God?
How good to talk with the caprice of God?
An ordinary human, an ordinary mortal, an ordinary model
Build your ivory tower so you can touch the sky
Build your ivory tower so you can touch the sky
The sky, touch the sky
Build your ivory tower so you can scratch the sky
And don't hide inside the sentiment
The real test is never finished yet
Face up, collect the interest
Of all the idiots you should detest
How good to walk with the caprice of God?
How good to talk with the caprice of God?
An ordinary human, an ordinary mortal, an ordinary model
Build your ivory tower so you can screw up the sky
No ordinary mortal, no ordinary model
The lyrics of Paco Pil's song "God" convey the limitations of language and the preconceptions that come with it. The singer emphasizes how language constrains our thoughts and feelings, forcing us to rely on cliches and conventional expressions. The words we use are 'pre-fabricated' and 'pre-conception,' and we wear them like the walls around us. The lyricist seems to be questioning the limits of our vocabulary and how it can get in the way of experiencing the divine or the sublime.
The chorus of the song encourages listeners to break free from cultural norms and create their own reality. The singer asks, "How good to walk with the caprice of God?" He's suggesting that if we could let go of our preconceived notions or limiting language, we could create something unique, unpredictable, and sublime. He encourages the listener to "build your ivory tower so you can scratch the sky," a metaphor for creating something outside of the ordinary or expected.
Throughout the song, there are images of aggression, anger, and frustration - "angry artillery on your tongue," and "bows and arrows highly strung." These lyrics contrast with the dreamy chorus and suggest that breaking free from language and cultural norms is not easy. Towards the end of the song, the singer advises us to face up to the challenges of creating something new and to 'collect the interest' of those who detest us. The lyrics convey a message of empowerment and freedom, encouraging listeners to ignore the preconceptions of others and follow their dreams.
