How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Queens of the Stone Age say about "My God Is the Sun"?
Genius Answer

From an interview with Josh Homme did with an Rock&Pop Interviewee in June 2013:

…and what about the first single from the album, “My God Is The Sun”? Do you take the sun as the deity and the healer?

I love words and I love how they work and look like. Some words are gorgeous and some aren’t. The sun is everything. You get it when you, for example, look at plants and they turn to it. And that is something unbelievably beautiful. And I have a son [a reference to sounding of words son/sun – editorial office note]. It’s not an coincidence that it’s a similar word. It should be something venerated, it should start right here.

So is your son the center of your universe?

Yes.
