GOD
The Gutter Twins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All God's children take their passage into night
It's a feeling, best you hold on tight
All God's children hold yourself up to the light
It's a free fall I know

Whispers, captured lies
Come now make your move
Do the clothes make the man?
Does the soul understand?

Strange the way you seem suicidal
You don't live at all so why you cryin'?
Come and play with me and feel desire
It's all in the dark, a walk through the fire

Baby, cast your eyes
A soul you never knew
And maybe contemplate
I will turn into God

Strange the way you seem suicidal
You don't live at all so why you cryin'?




Come and play with me and feel desire
It's all in the dark, a walk through the fire

Overall Meaning

The Gutter Twins' song "God's Children" explores the idea of death and what it means for all people, regardless of their beliefs or background. The lyrics speak to the idea that everyone is equal in death, and that it's important to hold onto life while we can, as it's a precious thing. The first line, "All God's children take their passage into night" speaks to this idea, and sets the tone for the rest of the song.


As the song progresses, the lyrics delve deeper into the issue of death and life. The line "Whispers, captured lies" suggests that perhaps what we believe about death is not always true, and that there are misconceptions and misunderstandings. The lyrics then ask the question "Do the clothes make the man? Does the soul understand?" suggesting that perhaps it's not our external appearance that defines us, but rather our internal beliefs and understanding.


The second half of the song speaks to the idea of desire and temptation, and how it can lead us down a dangerous path. The line "Strange the way you seem suicidal, you don't live at all so why you crying?" implies that sometimes we can become so wrapped up in our own desires and temptations that we forget to actually live our lives. However, the song ends on a hopeful note, with the line "I will turn into God" suggesting that perhaps in the end, we can all find some sense of peace and understanding.
