The Shotgun Message Lyrics
Staring at the world through a hole you put in my hand
That was caused by a blade
You gently inserted
I did this for you
I did this for you
Not for your religion
Not for your patterns
I did this for you
I did this for a man like you
Stop searching and find me
Stop searching and find me
I am stabbed by grace and slinging blood
I'm slinging blood
I'm slinging blood
That was caused by a blade
You gently inserted
I did this for you
I did this for you
Not for your religion
Not for your patterns
I did this for you
I did this for a man like you
Stop searching and find me
Stop searching and find me
I am stabbed by grace and slinging blood
I'm slinging blood
I'm slinging blood
About
Genius Annotation
Coming right after “Pretty Soon, I Don’t Know What, But Something Is Going to Happen” with it’s absurd length and long instrumental portions, this song – with it’s brevity and it’s immediate, in-your-face vocals, is almost like… well, a Shotgun Message.
The song seems to be sung as if from the POV of Jesus Christ, saying that his crucifixion was for you – the every-man. In this way, Scogin is offering a critique of sectarian religions that deny other sects within the same faith, or even individuals, over small petty “patterns”.
