Sodom, South Georgia Lyrics
Artist(Band):Iron & Wine
Review The Song (3)Print the Lyrics
Papa died smiling
Wide as the ring of a bell
Gone all star white
Small as a wish in a well
And Sodom, South Georgia
Woke like a tree full of bees
Buried in Christmas
Bows and a blanket of weeds

Papa died Sunday and I understood
All dead white boys say, "God is good"
White tongues hang out, "God is good"

Papa died while my
Girl Lady Edith was born
Both heads fell like
Eyes on a crack in the door
And Sodom, South Georgia
Slept on an acre of bones
Slept through Christmas
Slept like a bucket of snow

Papa died Sunday and I understood
All dead white boys say, "God is good"
White tongues hang out, "God is good"

"Papa died Sunday and I understood

White tongues hang out, "God is good"
===============

I think he's referring to the things that men have said...men that have come and gone. They sleep in their white walls sepulchers...they sleep as the grave....they sleep...and with the image of "GOD IS GOOD" manifesting from their tomb.



i think... | Reviewer: aindei | 11/12/08

Seems like the song is about a place where the people are denying the truth of reality.

'Papa died smiling'

I think the lines about 'buried in christmas and a blanket of weeds' are about the place finding something else to think about than the death of someone in the community.

I think the line 'all dead white boys say god is good' is the artist trying to say that we assume that is what they would say about god, if they could talk - but they can't talk, that's the main point. So that means other people are speaking for them.



hmm... | Reviewer: mrshotglass | 5/12/08

I think he is saying "all that white noise, saying God is good".

I think he is trying to portray the fact that "white noise" means something that everyone was saying, but he didnt understand it until his father died. Now he knows what "Gos is good" means...
