The song describes an ecstatic experience (perhaps involving sex or drugs) and compares it to a religious one, while also relaying the intellectual vulnerability of that state and the potent draw of religion and Christianity.
I patiently wait for my turn while you
Fill the gaps with a bold empathic love
Hey is it coming over you?
Hey there
We should come together
Wait on something new
And Christ Alive! Am I dilating my
Inhibitions soon dissipating
Can we afford to stay this way forever and forever amen
This release inside of me
Is like my heaven calling
Endless possibilities
Are my defenses falling down?
And all the while the strobing flicker
Of fireworks I'm peaking quicker
Than I ever have or ever will again
And never will again
Cut to pieces
Your Friend in Jesus (Is it coming over you?)
Pledge allegiance and all's forgiven (Is it coming over you?)
Hey there
Is it coming over you? (Cut to pieces, your friend in Jesus)
Hey there
We should come together, wait on something new
(Pledge allegiance and all's forgiven)
This release inside of me
Is like my heaven calling
Endless possibilities
Are my defenses falling?
This release inside of me
Is like my heaven calling
Endless possibilities
Are my defenses falling down?
Cut to pieces
Your friend in Jesus
Pledge allegiance and all's forgiven
