In an interview by Pitchfork published shortly after Miracles' release, Alex speaks about the recurring theme of faith in God Save the Animals. This is visibly explored in Miracles, one of his more personal tracks, with mentions of religious concepts and symbols, miracles and crosses.
A few people...
[Verse 1]
I see great waves coming our way
Beautiful sunsets on lost and lonely days
Infinite futures become a single past
Everyone whimpers, nobody lasts
[Verse 2]
You say one day that we should have a baby, well
Right now, baby, I'm struggling, we'll see, yeah
You say one day we should have a baby, well
God help me, I love you, I agree, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
After all, there's no way up from apathy, yeah
You and me, we got better pills than ecstasy
[Chorus]
They're miracles and crosses
Miracles and crosses, miracles and crosses, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
How many more songs am I supposed to write before
I should turn it off and say goodnight?
How many more songs am I supposed to write before
I can turn it off and say goodnight?
[Verse 3]
I have fears that I have not addressed, she says
Some things from my past make me feel powerless, well
"Baby, I pray for the children and the sinners and the animals too, and I
I pray for you"
[Outro]
After all, there's no way up from apathy, yeah
You and me, we got better pills than ecstasy
They're miracles and crosses
Miracles and crosses, miracles and crosses
Miracles and crosses, miracles and crosses
Miracles and crosses, miracles and crosses, yeah
