God-Shaped Hole
Plumb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every point of view has another angle
And every angle has its merit
But all comes down to faith
That's the way I see it

You can say that love is not divine and
You can say that life is not eternal
"All we have is know"
But I don't believe it

There's a God-shaped hole in all of us
And the restless soul is searching
There's a God-shaped hole in all of us
And it's a void only he can fill

Does the world seem gray with empty longing
Wearing every shade of cynical
And do you ever feel that
There is something missing?





That's my point of view

Overall Meaning

Plumb's "God-Shaped Hole" speaks to the human condition of a deep longing or emptiness that cannot be fulfilled by anything other than God. The lyrics suggest that every individual has a unique perspective on life, but the ultimate truth is found in faith. Plumb acknowledges that there are other viewpoints on love and the meaning of life, but she personally believes that there is something beyond what we can see or touch.


The chorus refers to the titular "God-shaped hole" that exists in all of us, and that we often try to fill with other things - success, relationships, money - but always come up short. Plumb suggests that it is only God who can truly fill this void and bring us the peace and wholeness we seek. The song acknowledges the struggles of feeling incomplete or restless, and the search for deeper meaning or purpose.

Every point of view
Has another angle
And every angle has its merit
But it all comes down to faith
That's the way I see it
You can say that love
Is not divine and
You can say that
Life is not eternal
"All we have is now"
But I don't believe it

There's a God-shaped hole
In all of us
And the restless soul is searching
There's a God-shaped hole
In all of us
And it's a void only


He can fill

Does the world seem grey
With empty longing
Wearing every shade of cynical
And do you ever feel that
There is something missing?

There's a God-shaped hole
In all of us
And the restless soul is searching
There's a God-shaped hole
In all of us
And it's a void only
He can fill

That's my point of view
