Manchester Orchestra - In My Teeth Lyrics

Artist: Manchester Orchestra

Album: Mean Everything To Nothing

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: John Andrew Hull

I felt a black man in my teeth, what a way
Jesus is coming, He acts my age
And He always looks the same

I said a good seed was on your break
Wasn't a mistake anyway
Well, Jesus is coming, better act our age
And clean everything and make a seem

Like you never really needed it anyway
Yep, we never really needed it anyway, okay
Okay

John spoke a theory, straight in to my brain
God damn, did you mean to do that to me?
Well, Jesus, don't come 'round
Unless we pray each day for five hundred days

I don't know what you want anymore
No, I don't know what you want anymore
So we can see

That you never really needed it anyway
No you never really needed it anyway
So we can see

That the bottom's gonna bury us anyway
So I am doing what I gotta to stay awake
Yeah, I am doing what I gotta to stay awake, okay

What happens when I don't know what happens?
What happens when I don't know what happens?

So stop and go and stop and go till you can't go
Run any more
So stop and go and stop and go till you can't go

Make it seem
Like we never really needed it anyway
Yeah, we never really needed it anyway

So we can see
That the bottom's gonna bury us anyway
Yeah, you're doing what you gotta to stay awake
Yeah, I am doing what I gotta to stay awake, okay

    I think this song is awesome. I read it as him figuring out that all the things he used to focus on in life are pointless, and he's finally realizing that he can survive without the things of this world that tempt our flesh, that he doesn't want to depend on these things anymore, things that will be buried with us, that we can't take after death. He's accepting the fact that he doesn't know everything, and is putting his faith in God in return.
