GOD
Shireen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
God where is your woman
God where is your woman
God where is your woman
God where is your woman
God where is your woman
God where is your woman
God where is your woman
Woman...
What do you decided the world was ruled by men,
The Son and the Father but where is the mother
What do you decided the world was ruled by men,
The Son and the Father but where is the mother, Mother...
The lyrics to Shireen's song "God" seem to be questioning the traditional perception of God as a male figure and asking where the female representation of God is. The repetition of the phrase "God, where is your woman" highlights the absence of feminine divinity in many religious beliefs. The line "What do you decided the world was ruled by men" suggests that this omission is intentional and that patriarchal structures have been put in place to maintain male dominance. The reference to "the Son and the Father" and the question "where is the mother" point to the Christian concept of the Holy Trinity and raise the question of why the feminine aspect of God has been overlooked.
The song also seems to be challenging societal norms that largely prioritize the male experience while dismissing the female perspective. The line "What do you decided the world was ruled by men" can be interpreted as a criticism of the idea that men are inherently more capable of leadership and decision-making than women. The repeated questioning of the feminine aspect of God can also be seen as a call to recognize and embrace the feminine energy in the world and in ourselves.
Overall, "God" is a powerful piece of music that challenges traditional beliefs and asks us to consider the role of women in spiritual and societal contexts.
