poor old lu - thoughtless كلمات الأغنية
much of the songwriting for ‘sin’ can be broken up into three parts. a few songs were written shortly after mindsize was recorded, during various tours, etc.. a large majority of the songs were written in the two weeks preceding our recording dates – in our church youth room. the final few songs were written in the studio, “on-the-fly” or something like that. this song is one of the few that i have distinct memories of us writing in the two weeks before recording started. it came like a shot. the guys came up with the music – moody and powerful, and i slipped out of the room to write some lyrics. like many of our songs, i don’t remember -actually- writing the lyrics, but i know that these words came quickly – very quickly. maybe that’s part of the reason that i’ve always liked this song so much.
i think that the words of this song flow as good as any that we have. i don’t think there was much mystery as to the message here – at least i hope not. what does it boil down to? simple. no matter what material possessions we have, excessive smarts that we claim, or good acts that we have made – it means nothing without christ. the chorus is interesting in that it can almost represent how someone might take stock of their own life and their own actions – a dime for my good actions, a nickel for the good things that i could do, and a quarter for my good intentions! in the end, we’re left poor despite all of these things if we do not have the savior.
in my money, i was at home
to the beggar, i was so cold
in my pockets, all that i could hold
as i left here, this was all i was told…
well, i get a dime for all of my good
a nickel for all that i could
and a quarter for all i said i would
and i was left poor, poor, poor
oh my, how poor
as a thinker, i was so loud
in my wisdom, i was profound
as i left here, this was the sound…
well, i get a dime for all of my good
a nickel for all that i could
and a quarter for all i said i would
and i was left poor, poor, poor
oh my, how poor
oh my lord
by my own way, i felt very near
when it shook me, this was all
i could hear…
