God
Teen Suicide Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With God as my witness and
God as my only friend
I never thought that I'd see
You 'round here again

I don't feel safe in the city
I don't feel safe in my body
Assume everything is a warning
It's raining, it's raining, it's storming
I got a text from a really old friend
They gouged out her eyes in a dream she had
She worries about premonitions
We've always been superstitious
I throw on a jacket in Edmondson
My mom stopped taking her medicine
I pick her up cigarettes, a diet Coke
Make two more calls and I'm on the way home
With God as my witness and
God as my only friend
I never thought that I'd see
You around here again
With God as my witness and




God as my only friend
Will we be this bored when the world ends?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "God" by Teen Suicide evoke feelings of loneliness, vulnerability, and a sense of disillusionment. The repeated references to God highlight the singer's desperate search for connection and guidance in a world that feels unsafe and uncertain.


The opening lines, "With God as my witness and God as my only friend," suggest a deep reliance on a higher power for support and understanding. It reflects the singer's longing for a presence that can provide comfort and reassurance. The line, "I never thought that I'd see you 'round here again," suggests a surprise encounter with someone from the past, possibly an old friend or lover, which brings mixed emotions and reinforces a sense of vulnerability.


The following lines further emphasize the singer's sense of insecurity and unease. The city and their own body, which are supposed to provide safety, become sources of fear and discomfort. The line, "Assume everything is a warning," suggests a hyperawareness and suspicion, perhaps due to past traumatic experiences. The mention of rain and storms further adds to the sense of chaos and unpredictability in their surroundings.


The lyrics then take a darker turn with a mention of a dream where a friend's eyes were gouged out. This dream preoccupation reflects the characters' anxieties and their inclination towards superstitions. The singer's mother stopping her medication adds another layer of uncertainty and instability in their life.


The final lines, "Will we be this bored when the world ends?" hint at a feeling of emptiness and disillusionment. It suggests that even in the face of potential catastrophe or the end of the world, the singer wonders if they will still feel bored, highlighting a sense of detachment or dissatisfaction with life.
