God
God sometimes you just don't come through
Tori is telling the Christian God that he doesn't live up to her humanity in many situations and he is unfair.
God sometimes you just don't come
through do you need a woman to look after you
She is upset of the female's absence in all of this controlling. I mean, control or not, it's terrible, but the fact that everything is being made by only him, the man and that there is no female figure anywhere. Mary is sexless and dismissed from everything. And God, like everyone else needs a companion, he's not that invincible that he doesn't crave a partner and Tori is fooling with his unspoken, unread need for a woman.
God sometimes you just don't
come through
You make pretty daisies pretty daisies love I gotta find what you're doing about
things here a few witches burning gets a little toasty here
The Salem Witches getting burned was done in the name of the Christian God and this is considered okay. That is horrible. She is telling him that these things are unacceptable.
I gotta find why you
always go when the wind blows
He's very contradicting.
tell me you're crazy maybe then I'll understand
This Christianity business has become insanity and that is the only way to justify this nonsense.
you got your 9 iron in the back seat just in case heard you've gone south well
babe you love your new 4 wheel I gotta find why you always go when the wind
blows
“give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings”<br>The Bible
Proof of The Bible's complete and utter disrespect of women.
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall
He wouldn't even tell her about making a harmful decision.
will you even tell her if
you decide to make the sky
He wouldn't even tell her about making a good decision.
Here's Tori's description of it:

SONG CANVAS: "God"
With Little Earthquakes I started to face down the split between the Marys, both personally and in the larger sense. I continued to explore it during the Under the Pink phase. I think taking on the role of Ms. God, or God's lover in the song I wrote called "God" (from Under the Pink) was abig step for me personally in reuniting the two Marys within my Being. I began to realize taht I needed the voices of both Marys to hold an anchor for the Ms. God archetype I was to embody in order to sing this song. I'll ask myself the question that other people have asked me over the years: "Define which God, Tori. Which God is the GOd in the song 'God'? Do you mean God, God?" And my answer is "It depends on who you think God, God is." In Beyond Belief: The SEcret Gospel of Thomas, Elaine Pagels makes the "God behind God" concept of certain early Christians quite clear by quoting from different texts found in Nag Hammadi. Referring to the Apocryphon, the Secret Book of John, Pagels writes, "The Secret Book tells a story intended to show that although the creator-god pictured in Genesis is himself only an anthropomorphic image of the divine Source that brough forth the universe, many people mistake this deficient image for God. This story tells how the creator-god himself, heing unaware of the 'blessed one, the Mother-Father, the blessed and compassionate One' above, boasted that he was the only God ('I'm a jealous God; there is none other besides me'). Intent on maintaining sole power, eh tried to control his human creatures by forbidding them to eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge."
Here I need to refer again to Dr. Meyer's The Secret Teachings of Jesus from the Gospel, the Secret Book of John. The one we know as Jesust he Savior is teaching his disiple John:
Now Sophia, who is the Wisdom of Afterthought and who represents an eternal realm, conceived of a thought. She ahd this idea and this insvisible Spirit of Knowledge also reflected upon it. She wanted to give birth to a being like herself . . . rather, something came out of her that was imperfect and different in appearance from her, for she had produced it without her lover. It did not look like its Mother and had a different shape . . . she threw it away from her outside the realm, so that none of the Immortals would see it. For she had produced it ignorantly. She surrounded it with a bright cloud and put a throne in the middle of it except for the Holy Spirit, who is called the Mother of the Living. She named her child Yaldaboath. Yaldaboath is the first Ruler who took great power from his Mother . . . this gloomy Ruler has three names: the first name is Yaldaboath, the seonc id Saklas. The third is Samael. He is wicked becuase of the mindlessness that is within him when he said, "I am God and there is no other God besides me." The Lord continued speaking to John . . . "The arrogant one took power from his Mother, he was ignorant, for the thought that no other power existed except for his Mother. He saw the throng of angels he had created and exalted himself over them."
In The Gnostic Gospels, Elaine Pagels writes, "According to the Hypostasis of the Archons, discovered at Nag Hammadi, both the mother and her daughter objected when 'he became arrogant, saying, "It is I who am God, and there is no other apart from me." . . . And a voice came forth from above the realm of absolute power, saying, "You are wrong, Samael" (which means "god of the blind"). And he said, "If any other thing exists before me, let it appear to me!" And immediately, Sophia ("Wisdom") stretched forth her finger, and introduced light into matter, and she followed it down into the region of Chaos. . . . And he again said to his offspring, "It is I who am the God of All." And Life, the daughter of Wisdom, cried out; she said to him, "You are wrong Saklas!"'"
So to answer the question, this is the God to whom I refer in the song "God." I am not referring to Jesus' Divine Father termed the "holy Parent, the completely perfect Forethought, the image of the Invisible One, that is, the Father of everything, through him everything came into being, the first Humanity," again from Meyers. In this translation Jesus requently refers to himself as "the Child of Humanity."
