(It's about a preacher/priest etc etc losing his faith.)
I got up feeling so down
I got off being sold out
(Feels like it's all been a lie)
I've kept the movie rolling
But the story's getting old now
(He keeps up the preaching, but wants evidence, it's getting old to him)
I just looked in the mirror
Things aren't looking so good
I'm looking California
And feeling Minnesota
(He looks and see's a warm happy and sunny person, but feels cold like Minnesota)
So now you know, who gets mystified
Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
(Telling God, so now you know i'm losing my faith, show me this power child you sent to save us, I'll even get down on my knees and pray)
It gives me the butterflies, gives me away
Till I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling outshined
(He feels a bit of the love of Christ inside, till he is able to stand on his own feet/faith again, he feels "otshined" by God and Christ, They have shown Him enough.)
Someone let the dogs out
They'll show you where the truth is
(Somebody let the people of sin out, the non-believers, which the bible calls "dogs" and they'll show you the truth so they say)
The grass is always greener
Where the dogs are shedding
(Because the grass is always better on the other side of the fence, where the dogs sin/play/party. . . they want him to some on over to their side)
I'm feeling that I'm sober
Even though I'm drinking
I can't get any lower
Still I feel I'm sinking
(He's falling for it, sin, and has fallen to a new low, as low as you can go, yet he gets lower. . . so he calls out to God to be shown the "power child" that he himself preaches about)
So now you know, who gets mystified
Show me the power child, I'd like to say
That I'm down on my knees today
It gives me the butterflies, gives me away
Till I'm up on my feet again
I'm feeling outshined
(OR it could be about being jumked out on meth/horse, main lining, puking up, and the dope not taking effect anymore, take your pick :)
