Godless
U.P.O./UPO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tired of breakin' down and shaking
This life around
Tired of praying, yeah tired of trying myself
I'm tired of being taken all the way
I don't need to be godless, but I am
I don't need my head, keepin' all my problems
I don't need your hand of God
With no where to fall, I'm all ready to fall
Day by day I'm like a paper puppet and I'm stumbling around
Aching on the brain and I'm in
Big trouble big trouble
Still got to breathe oh yea
Like my shame this will all go down
God damned me that's for sure and I believe
I believed I don't belong here
I don't need, to get my head kicked in
And I don't need to be another lost soul that can't find home
I don't need to get my face
Dragged down in the muddy water
I don't need to say I'm godless anymore
Still I'm gone still I'm on the run
Still I'm on the break of the edge
Still I'm, still I'm feeling dead
I don't need to be godless but I am
I don't need to be another lost soul who can't find home
I don't need your hand of god
I don't need to be godless anymore
With nowhere to fall
The lyrics in U.P.O./UPO's song "Godless" depict a sense of exhaustion and hopelessness. The singer expresses that they are tired of trying to keep their life together, tired of praying and feeling like it's not enough, and tired of feeling like they are constantly being taken advantage of. Despite not necessarily wanting to be "godless," they feel like they are, and they don't necessarily want or need anyone to try and fix that for them.
As the song progresses, the singer continues to struggle with feelings of being lost, unsure of where they belong and feeling like they are constantly on the edge of falling apart. They don't want to be dragged down by others or feel like they are drowning in their own shame. The repeated phrase of "I don't need to be godless, but I am" emphasizes the singer's struggle with their own beliefs and sense of purpose or higher power in their life.
Overall, "Godless" seems to be a song about feeling like you're running on empty and searching for meaning or something to hold onto. It's an emotional and raw depiction of the struggle to reconcile one's beliefs with the harsh realities of life.
