Poor Old Lu - Slipknot lyrics

rate me

Of all the Poor Old Lu songs to show up on Napster in great number, this one did. I always found that strange until I heard that there was also a band called Slipknot. I can only imagine all those people who downloaded this song thinking it was the other band! Very amusing.

As the brief text in the album cover eludes, this song is directed primarily towards the topic of 'indifference'. Our indifference, of course, keeps us from many great things in the Lord. Reaching out to others, more effective ministries, better friendships, better marriages, and so on. We must take our attitudes of indifference before the Lord so that He may change our hearts. He is willing and able.

and fear

how it often seems to be all you hear

like a siren that just fills up your ears

will you let it show you what you hold

oh, so close

and confused

i think i keep the devil amused

when i believe that his lies are true

but beyond the haze i know

which glory remains

my need i seek

in this hope i own

Majesty, i see

indifference is cold

and hate

it seems to run this world just great

will they turn on time or roll in too late?

there's no turning round

on our knowledge now

and pain

does it fall upon your life like rain?

it will not kill or make you insane

just don't bow your neck

to the cutter's blade

my need i seek

in this hope i hold

Majesty, i see

indifference is cold

and fear

is it ever, ever all you can hear?

like a siren that just fills up your ears

would you let it go

and throw your arms to Christ, so close

my need i seek

in this hope i own

Majesty, i see

indifference is cold
