Viper Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't see a single thing
I don't feel a single thing
I don't see you
I don't need a single thing
I don't read a single thing
But I can save you
Tell me what you're here for
I stay with you 24

Hours in a day
Seven days a week or more
I don't care what you believe
If God machine can make me rich
U$ 200 000 is money enough
To build a church
But I don't care for profit
If I am closer to god
All this faith will make you blind
If you walk outta line
Switch off the machine
Live yourself to pray and lie

I don't care what you believe
If God machine can make me rich

Overall Meaning

In the first few lines of Viper's song "God Machine", the singer appears to be disconnected from the world around him, saying that he doesn't see or feel anything. He also says that he doesn't see "you" (presumably, someone he cares about). Despite this lack of connection, he claims that he can "save" whoever he is addressing. It becomes clear later in the song that the singer is interested in using religion as a means to achieve wealth, even going so far as to suggest that building a church could be profitable. He seems to suggest that if he is able to get closer to God, it will somehow make him rich. However, the singer is also critical of blind faith, urging people to "switch off the machine" and live outside of the confines of religious dogma.

Taken as a whole, "God Machine" appears to be a critique of the way that religion can be exploited for personal gain. The singer doesn't seem to have genuine spiritual beliefs, but instead sees religion as a tool that can be used to achieve personal success. The song seems to suggest that this kind of thinking is dangerous, as it can lead to blind conformity and a lack of critical thinking.
