“Lost” speaks from the perspective of a religious believer and his need of comfort for the unknown questions we’ll never get answers to.
The narrative seems really ironic, saying that they’d rather live in a lie rather than question the existence of a God and ignore the irrational rules implied by...
[Chorus: Tilian, Jon Mess, both]
I am lost (I am lost),
Need a God (need a God)
Somewhere to go when it's all over
I am blind (I am blind),
Give me eyes (Give me eyes)
Kaleidoscope the world in color
Don't have time to meditate the meaning of the rain
Synchronize our memories 'til we all think same way
'Cause I get lost (I get lost),
Need a god (need a God)
Help me put my world in order
[Verse 1: Tilian, Jon Mess]
I don't wanna know the truth
(I conceive a better way to lie)
I just need to feel secure again
(The witnesses evaded)
Codify my wasted youth
(Everywhere I look I feel the weight)
So I don't feel this meaningless again
(So wait it out now)
[Verse 2: Tilian, Jon Mess, Will Swan]
Tickle my animal instincts, survive
Capable, sociable subject, I'm part of the pack
I know a guy somewhere
Who's got a guy from town
Who knows a guy from around whose gotta die
We crave a greater existence, survive
Attainable, modified purpose, I'm part of the pack
I know a guy somewhere
Who's got a guy from town
Who knows a guy from around whose gotta die
Citizen of the world
I called my sister's cousin-uncle-friend
Made sure to trust them time and time again
[Chorus: Tilian, Jon Mess, both]
I am lost (I am lost),
Need a God (need a God)
Somewhere to go when it's all over
I am blind (I am blind),
Give me eyes (Give me eyes)
Kaleidoscope the world in color
Don't have time to meditate the meaning of the rain
Synchronize our memories 'til we all think same way
'Cause I get lost (I get lost),
Need a god (need a God)
Help me put my world in order
[Bridge: Tilian]
Oh no, he said a bad word
We should burn him at the stake, desecrate his name
Spit on him from high horses, exaggerate the shame
He's ignorant and vulgar
So evil, we can tell, he'll surely rot in hell
A homophobic sociopath, a menace to us all
He'll take the fall
[Outro: Jon Mess, Tilian]
The group is never ending, the group grew from decay
The group is darkness, father, heaven selected the truth as pain
(The fall)
The group is never ending, the group grew from decay
The group is darkness, father, heaven selected the truth as pain
