You Are God
Tryad Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This voice has found a home
Inside your head
What can be said
To a computer grown
Brains wrapped up in bone
Open up your ears
How do you hear
Take a long look
Who grew your hands
Who writes your plans
Who through your eyes
Sees these blue skies
Who made all this
Take a wild guess
You are god
You are god
Ages untold
Found us all controlled
Priest, president, king, czar
Told us what we are
This is no more
Broke down their door
No more mind cage
In this now age
In this now age
We are god
You are god
The lyrics of Tryad’s song “You Are God” explores the concept of individual empowerment through self-awareness and the recognition of the power that each of us hold within. The song opens with the line “Etched in digital stone, this voice has found a home,” which suggests that the singer’s voice is being heard and acknowledged in the digital age, where communication is possible on a global level. The second line of the song “Inside your head, what can be said” references the idea that we all have the power to influence the thoughts and ideas of others through our words and actions.
The lyrics then suggest that we should open up our ears and take a long look to recognize the power that we possess within ourselves. The lines “Who grew your hands, who writes your plans, who through your eyes sees these blue skies, who made all this, take a wild guess…” imply that we are all a part of a greater universe that is interconnected and that we have the ability to shape our reality with our thoughts and actions. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase “You are God” and “We are God,” which emphasizes the idea that we all have divine power within us.
The second verse of the song references the past where people were controlled by kings, czars, presidents, and priests. The phrase “Told us what we are, this is no more, broke down their door” suggests that the modern age is about breaking free from these constraints and acknowledging our individual power. The final lines of the song “No more mind cage, in this now age” suggests that we are in a new age where we are no longer limited by the “mind cages” of the past and are free to recognize our true potential.
