Gods
S - A vs. AN21 Sebjak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm walking along these Scottsdale streets
And I'm finding god in a Dennys
Nobody can touch me now
The rosary on the wall reminds me
Of your stupid friend Paul
I hate his dog and hate how it feels
When you look at me
Like you know I'm evil
I'm evil
Liars and cheats don't get that far
But I've made it to mile 64
And the heats coming down
Like death valley
I hope these vultures just take me
I am evil
I deserve to fall
Because I'm wicked
Kill 'em all
God can't save me here
I'm praying
But I don't have to say anything at all
I'm just killing time in my car
Every morning wasting minutes
I could spend em' doing something better
But there's nobody better than you
I hate his dog and hate how it feels
When you look at me
Like you know I'm evil
I hate his dog and hate how it feels
When you look at me
Like you know I'm evil
I am evil
I deserve to fall
Because I'm wicked
Kill 'em all
God can't save me here
I'm like a building you can tell used to be something else
A woman preaches words I cannot hear
From beside a stoplight
That lets cars through too quickly
To understand her teachings of god
She scolds those driving by
Windows up and music loud
I wonder what she knows that we don't




A place that only looks abandoned
I am not where I think I am

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of S-A vs. AN21 Sebjak's song "Gods" depict the internal dialogue of a person contemplating their own sins and mortality. The singer, seemingly walking through Scottsdale streets, says that they find god in a Dennys, a seemingly insignificant and unholy place. The mention of the rosary on the wall reminds them of a person named Paul, who they seem to dislike, possibly because of his judgement. The singer then implies that they are evil, and that liars and cheats do not get far, but they themselves have made it to mile 64, despite the heat coming down on them like Death Valley. They hope vultures will take them, indicating a death wish.


The singer then goes on to say that they pray, but without words, and that they waste time in their car every morning, unable to do anything better than think about the person they hate, Paul's dog, and the feeling they have when they are judged by others. The singer acknowledges their own wickedness and says they deserve to fall, but they also want to kill them all, possibly alluding to their anger towards those who judge them. They seem to believe that god cannot save them, and that they are like a building that used to be something else, implying that they were once good, but they have since lost their way. The song ends with the singer being in a place they do not know they are.


The lyrics of "Gods" are complex and multi-layered. They seem to explore themes of sin, mortality, and repentance. The singer seems tormented by their own flaws and unable to find a way out of their own mental struggle. Some possible interpretations of the lyrics are that the singer is struggling with addiction, depression, or guilt. They seem to feel hopeless and isolated, unable to find solace in religion or human connections. The references to Paul and his dog may be a metaphor for someone who judges the singer harshly, possibly representing the society's collective view on sinners. The song's overall message appears to be that no matter how wicked a person may be, they still deserve compassion and understanding.
