About This Track

'Godhead' by Garbage is a 2021 alternative track from the album 'No Gods No Masters'. The lyrics stage a confrontational, bargaining set of questions about deception and trust, centring on threatened rejection and a possessive idealisation, with lines like “The center of heaven is you” tying belief to one person. Its repeated conditional framing gives the words a paranoid edge, as the speaker keeps testing whether loyalty would hold under a supposed change in circumstances.

"Godhead" is a track by Garbage, from the album No Gods No Masters, released 10th June 2021. The track is 4:08 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 5 articles about Garbage.

Lyrics

Godhead

Would you deceive me
If I had a dick?
Would you know it?
Would you blow it?
If I had a dick
Would you know it?
If I had a dick
Would you blow it?

Would you hear me, deceive me, believe me?
Would you ever fucking leave me?

The center of heaven is you
And the truth keeps weighing me down
No matter what you have done
You are the Godhead, the chosen one

Godhead

Get off my tits
At early noon
Get off my tits
Whatever it meant
Call me a bitch
I'm a terrorist
Call me a bitch
I'm a terrorist

Beloved, beloved
Beloved one, beloved
Beloved, beloved son
Beloved, beloved

The center of heaven is you (I'm a terrorist)
And the truth keeps weighing me down (I'm such a bitch)
No matter what you have done (I'm a terrorist)
You are the godhead, the chosen one (I'm such a bitch)
The center of heaven is you (you're a terrorist)
And the truth keeps weighing me down (get off your high horse)
No matter what you have done (you're a terrorist)
You are the godhead

You are the Godhead, the chosen one (I'm a terrorist)
The center of heaven is you
And the truth keeps weighing me down (I'm such a bitch)
No matter what you have done
You are the
