Efils' God

Song byEels

efil¡¯s good and the time is right

I¡¯ll bundle up and slip away

the count is down and the drip is up

it¡¯s time to split this hunk of clay

now you can bring my suitcase

but you can¡¯t bring me

and you can have all the money

¡®cause you say that you must

but if you think that it matters

take a look at me

and don¡¯t close your eyes as I turn into dust

efil¡¯s good

don¡¯t tell me that I can¡¯t do this

as if you knew

but you don¡¯t know

how efil¡¯s good

About this Song

Efils' God by Eels is a deep and introspective song that delves into themes of personal turmoil, existential reflections, and the quest for meaning amidst chaos. The song's lyrics explore the darker aspects of life, addressing subjects like disillusionment, heartbreak, and the struggle to find hope. One of the song's poignant moments is its raw portrayal of emotional pain and the vulnerability that comes with it. The title itself, a play on 'God's Life' spelled backwards, suggests a contemplation on the inverted or adverse experiences of existence.
