Dido - You Don't Need A God Lyrics

Well she is right I DON'T NEED AN IMAGINARY GOD

Ты лучшая ! Привет из Киева !

I don't need a god like the one who put it's "Children" to a cage and with ability to make a world from nothing and let it's "children" suffer in it's made dirty cage. . this is what i think about "god". . . if god exist it has to have a shitty personality. . xD and an egoist piece of shit. 😂🤢🤢🤢🤢

Absolutely top album, 15 years later, her voice is pure

I call complete bullshit on most of these explanations just because we're fans of her. I'm a big fan of her music too, AND I'm a true follower of Christ, yet her message IS clear and isn't deep beyond comprehension... It's straightforward. You don't need a God is her message, and those who know God know that her message is blasphemous. I wish it weren't true either, but she's allowed to believe what she chooses. Though myself and other true believers know the foolishness in her message and the way it deceives others into hell as well.

Dido a vraiment une voix fabuleuse

Wonderful.

I love Dido but her new album a No no for me, and We do not need God yes we do in this crazy world..

Bitch bye lol

You have a wonderful and magical new songs

I love you always Lovely for all the new albums i love THE day before we went to war its art

love you Dido......

Very good

Piękny jest ten nowy album. Ten sam niesamowity głos i świetna muzyka. Słuchałam Dido jak byłam małą dziewczynką i słucham jako dorosła kobieta. Masz piękną charakterystyczną barwę głosu. Uwielbiam Cię słuchać 💙

Dido is back lol lol

She’s soooo good 🙆🏻‍♂️

I dont need a god to love u lol

So Amazing! Greeting from Russia! Dido I love you! My favorite song at new album

Don´t get mad guys about the lyrics it´s not what it seems, this British expression “You Don´t Need A God” means that you don´t need a heavenly power to get something that you can do for yourself.
Example:
X: I want to go Dido´s concert next month!!!
Y: Come on! You don´t need a god, let’s go to buy the tickets

@Christepher Brown
ok . but that doesnt justify that all ppl need the Almighty in their own lives . why a famous singer like Dido chose a name like this for one of her songs ? 🤔🤔umm . challenging , right ?
maybe accidentally all of these singers choose these weird names for their songs . who knows ?
why they never say that ' u do need a God ' ?
or why they never say that ' pray your God ' ?
why they never say that ' God is merciful ' ?
can u explain this now ?

I call complete bullshit on that explanation. I'm a big fan of her music too, AND I'm a true follower of Christ, yet her message IS clear and isn't deep beyond comprehension... It's straightforward. You don't need a God is her message, and those who know God know that her message is blasphemous. I wish it weren't true either, but she's allowed to believe what she chooses. Though myself and other true believers know the foolishness in her message and the way it deceives others into hell as well.

@Stalker Stomper3 Aside from the British context explained above, you don't need a God because we are all One, are each eminently powerful within Love and, by its very nature, Love will accept no recognition, including highly-subjective labels such as God. Think idolatry. Really, God is intimately with you now. Do you pray to someone who is right next to you? It would be as if you were ignoring them! Even Love is a label and ultimately the deepest mystery. We must tread very carefully.

WELL SHE IS RIGHT I DON'T NEED A IMAGINARY GOD

@Stalker Stomper3 AWWWW STAY OFFENDED DUMB RELIGIOUS BITCH

You just need the universe.
Yure love is...
Golden have I I T T 💟💟💟💟

Goose pimples :) Hoping so much to see you in concert for this new tour! Fantastic :)

WOOOW, my heart smiles. Grande Dido from Chile!!!

Que pena que anunció gira a Sudamérica pero no Chile 😔

If you make it back to the heavens you truly don't need a human guide all's you need is the universe

YOU WILL NOTICE THEM TOO BECAUSE THEY SPEAK FOR YOU!!!!

I no many thanks regards DJ smidnightcaller YouTube xx

Spiritual objects and accounts don't account for anything they've taught you all to be dumb and they secretly"secretly"laugh at you so their lives get extremely worse for them as individuals each just passed away people you know I'm talking to you directly you become species other than human goodbye

YOU ALL CAME FROM PREVIOUS GALAXIES THEY ARE LYING TO YOU ALL TOO SO "THEY" KEEP YOU ALL FEELING YOU ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT EXIST DON'T LET THEM OWN YOU TOO WHO BOO THEY WILL ULTIMATELY LOSE THERE WILL BE NO TRUCE UNTIL THEY DO I KNEW THEY ARE FORGETTABLE T00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I get it a lot of people are dumb because they are brainwashed you don't need a God you can be your Own so don't be idiots you just got to stay true and agree to be good no matter what forever never to break the universal law ssss you can't win at its calls it is too clever and redder it'll make you all better live again with matter with no fake sounding chatter ironclad words so come down off that ladder if you been badly served and hurt people claiming that's what you deserve forget anyone of them because ultimately your body fuses with other ones souly and spiritually (you become) whoodoo I'm just warning you we at war with an opposition (hatred) if you're on our side you abide you will be cured in a different lifetime.
Sincerely'
WISE

yea you dont need a god, god doesnt exist, stupid christians.

That’s Nice 😊, not the best descriptive word yet it’s how I feel 👀

I love you dido but I need God everyday all day. I wish you would tell me that I don't need a god.................😑 Jehovah is the way. I'm upset with you. Smh I was one of your biggest fans and now thinking twice...🤔

I love you DIDO and every song speaks to me but this take my soul in other univers ,you are amazing you are the best for me

Dido Lady of quality ! How about to make a song to those who believe they came out of nothing ? Cause if they believe so, they have a believe who's lot stronger than mine. Jesus Saves.

Amazing song......gives me so deep feelings .....❤️

Sorry DIdo You surely need God. You were one of my best singers of all time. I always like of your manners and you are not like other singers who uses their body to dominate the mainstream. but you can't hide the truth you need God everywhere. He is the one who gives you your beautiful voice and talent and manner. You should respect him for that. The beginning of wisdom is a fear of God. All the love,the wisdom the talent isn't created by us. But God created it for us. Those are gifts given to us by God.

Agreed, without God there would be nothing. And I think that Dido is a decent clever lady who's got a lot of love for all mankind to share , and I also respect her for her manners. She's not like some others in her business whom selling their body, instead of singing and make music. Dido are making the quality I am searching. But we have to remember that God is the ruler in our life.
Jesus Saves !

Everybody needs to realize that you don't need to live in fear unless you put everybody in fear God is the Lord and it is the Universe and we are all a part of it from whatever for whatever reason that's just life I know but I'll never tell I'm not part of this animal well but I'm here because why people wonder why when they just died and never cried because their whole life is based on deception and lies and their truth is real impactative of killing someone's ability to just live I love you whom stayed true to the rules God Bless Some for now that's mostly EVERYBODY! but a few have fell so far From Grace and they are living that now they (them) dwell in the steps of hell jail constantly ringing a bell oh well just gel you fell.

Esperando a versão acústica. Que diga-se de passagem que deve ter ficado linda🌹☺️❤️.

Uma das melhores músicas deste álbum ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹. Coloco pra repetir varias e varias vezes

Бог, это чудо. Вокруг. Жизнь чудо!

_Take Ownership Of Yourself Of You And Help Others Everybody In Any Which Way We Decide_

Your voice is taking me to heaven ❤

Do I see diamonds 💎 falling from the sky with this beautiful song?😍😍❤️❤️💎💎💎

Arts have no limit. Creativity are free. But..
I need my God like somebody needs a drug.
I would say drugs are useless, but for some people it's not, and vice versa.
I hope you will understand hehe. Whether you agree or not :p

Beautiful voice, beautiful song written by a fallen angel and sang by clearly agnostic or atheist. I feel sorry for You that You don't believe in God. I have always loved your music, i have never checked what You believe in. That is so sad. Ask God that He reveals to You his majesty Dido and wait.

We all need God

I need God like someone needs a drug.
I would say drugs are useless, but for some people it's not, and vice versa.

Hi Dido ! Voice of an Angel :-) And you're right you don't need a God, but you need the only and true God. Nothing would be here without God ! Me to tell you, or you to sing and create songs,nothing would be here. Course he is the creator of everything. He send he's only Son Jesus to save us all from hell, he died on the cross to save us. To whose who's believe in themselves...and think they can be "there own God "...good luck down below, better make a turn in your life before it's to late..life is very short.. very short and no one knows when the bus has to come and pick you up ! So Dido I am a big fan of you, but please don't let the devil abuse you. Go on, make the turn. It's just right about the corner...Jesus saves
Happy Easter !
From the farmer by heart.

Siempre fiel a su estilo, tipo música Celta! La amo! ♥️

Ya me enamoré de esta canción! 😍 Im in love with this music!!! ♥️

this sounds like it could be used in an episode of black mirror.

Yes :))) no god

Literally the best album she has EVER done. There are no words. Everything is so different and a return to her true style. Like a warm summer's breeze. Simply gorgeous.

Have to say I honestly love EACH ALBUM AND SONG! It may not fit more moments in a given soundtrack of a life than others may, but there is AWLAYS a time and place for EACH song!
Dido, TY for your wondrous collaboration with Kendrick Lamar in LETS MOVE ON!!!

what is the meaning of these words??

Some kind of music can take me away, but can't make it every time, the music of Dido do it always and everywhere.

GOD ABOVE ALL

Love just love

💯🗣️💨💨💨💨💨

👍👍👍👍👍👍

Ual, muito bom

Dido usually come up with good songs. This time she has with better ones. Songs that are refined to perfection.

I pray to God every single day because I need Him. 🙏

I love you

Saludos desde Brasil.

Wonderful song. I've played it several times to hear Dido's impressive voice.

THANK YOU Dido! Beautiful music.

I Love jesus I pray to God Daily ... I need God very much 😇

If Mrs. Armstrong says you don't need a god, then you don't need a god. :D

I intended to stream this album on Spotify. But this song title turned me off. I'm sorry.

I believe and trust in God. In her song she's talking about other gods we make such as addictions, problems, materialism, etc. So she says god no God.

You need a god, some of us don't. it's ok

GOOD FOR YOU I DONT NEED A FUCKING IMAGINARY GOD

I can hear the music
Just a few notes from a passing car
And it can take me
With heart opening speed
To somewhere not here
I'm hell stuck still by the sight of something
Nothing much to see
But enough to catch me

Send me absolutely elsewhere
Take me absolutely right here

You don't need a God
To pray out here
You don't need a God
To stay out here
You don't need a thing
But what we have
Right here

It can be one word
Or the smallest thing that only I see
It hits like lightning
And it changes the way I feel

And sends me absolutely elsewhere
And holds me absolutely right here

You don't need a God
To pray out here
You don't need a God
To stay out here
You don't need a thing
But what we have
Right here

You don't need a God
To pray out here
You don't need a God
To stay out here
You don't need a thing
But what we have
Right here
Right here
Right here

🎼❤🎼❤🎼❤🎼 .... so beautifuuuuul

I can hear the music

Send me absolutely elsewhere
Take me absolutely right here

You don't need a god
To pray I'm here

This is such a beautiful and relaxing song
Way to go 😉

Amazing..

@Kleber Zaquias 😂😂😂
Danado

i love u : ) beautiful stuff Dido

Real good!!🔥

She invented the music new so warm and peacefull

Very nice song, does God exist? If so he has chosen so many bad Bishops and Priest's to represent him here on Earth.From the top down.

God doesn't choose them. Men do.

Yes there is a God, and He is full of love, men have failed him but he never fails , He sent His don JESUS as an act of love to help us get to the other side of love , our own sins have destroyed us not him and we need him .

My father adores Dido always has! Been to a few concerts and this song right here is a song that he loves a bunch including "Friends" This album is awesome going to have to buy on itunes! Is it already out?!

Love u dido . But really i need god and i think all of us.i dont know who wrote this song but i think it wasn't u .i think ur a spiritual lovely person.😊

I think she means you don't need human gods so to speak I don't really believe in a human being a god for anybody is the universe is for me god so we are all godly

@A P A T H Y M E if she means a human god that would be nice .

She doesn't mean a human god. She is in the music industry and mostly all of them are luciferians. She just pushing the new age agenda were they basically want to delete Jehovah out the picture period and teach that humans are God's instead. They want to worship the creation instead of the creator.

Never realised this was a new song, stumbled across it on a mixcloud mix then decided to check it out on YouTube thinking it was a tune from the later 90s early naughties.

You are your own guides you are all gods whether you love or hate the universe the universe is forever Love hate whatever you like to each its own you are all on your own throne

We need an explanation for this song !?

Time will tell the end result of what we need. We "WILL" have to be accountable for all we do in this life. When it all falls, choose a side. tic.. tic..

Best Artist of this World !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An new Era! 🙏

Супер !

Yo si necesito a mi Dios por siemprw y para siempre la gloria y la honra para el

I am such a Dido fan, was so excited to see she has a new album, but seeing this song made my heart sink.. of course we need a God- we are spiritual beings! I can't imagine my life without God.

@Vinicius Aurelio where in the Bible do the words "I Am" correlate with our own higher self? It's not about energies, it's about God dwelling in us when we choose to believe in him (note, God is NOT a higher version of ourselves) and we dwell in him by following his commandments, you can say - his will. The vine means Jesus, not the "whole". The branches are not about our physical bodies, it is a metaphor that only from Jesus do we have life.

And the biggest lie you tell (intentional or unintentional), is to twist the scripture about being separate from God to mean that "each" separate energy is useless. What you are teaching here is dependency on others. God wants us to depend on him and he wants us to be a part of a community, but our strength is in him, not others around us. He does not want us depending on others, and in fact, many Godly men have been called to serve him alone without human support. We are social creatures by design, but we are never to be dependent on others to accomplish our goals. I am useless without God, but I am not useless without others. That's common cultural ideology.

@Vinicius Aurelio Oh that's clever. You teach a religion that has nothing to do with the Bible and everything you say is wrong, and then you accuse me of having bad religion because everything YOU say is wrong. Lol. Just understand that nothing you claim is in the Bible except the one thing you reversed yourself on: you now say that we are meant to be autonomous. That is correct. But now you also say that we are not to be dependent on God. That is unbiblical. You know as well as I do that Jesus is not Lucifer, and by this alone it is clear that you are teaching a different religion, using the names God and Jesus is lying because neither of those beings have anything to do with your beliefs.
As far as being created by unknowable "matter": The Bible clearly says: "Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD." - Exodus 38:23.

@Vinicius Aurelio I challenged your beliefs and you do not prove your statements or cite your sources (religion, demon or the Bible) but instead you have pulled me into a debate that does not lift up the original poster nor the readers of these comments. I have deleted my last comment because of this. I will say that you are using the names of God and Jesus and mixing them in with a false religion and you cannot answer my questions about where in the Bible one can find the things you talk about. God is real, and we are not God, we do not have a higher self or any of that new age nonsense, but what we all need to do, including you, is to believe in Jesus. That the God of the Bible sent his only born son to die for our sins so that we are saved from judgment and we can be with him in heaven for eternity when we die.

The wise don’t make a show of their knowledge, but fools broadcast their foolishness.
Proverbs 12:23

Chill out

good melody. It takes a dumb ear to enjoy it.

Me encanta el ritmo, los sonidos y la melodía de la está canción; pero sobre la letra como que no me queda muy claro si es sobre una actitud atea o no...

Dario Ivan Delgado me pasa lo mismo.

Sad, Dido... The best beat and melody is the worst lyric.... :/

we dont need a god
we can be our own god
being kind, being good sons, brothers or parents, neighbors, strangers...

Dido X Trap. What are my ears hearing right now? I could cry now

Such an awesome addition to the soundtrack of this so called life of mine! Here’s to spanning your collection that transforms me and rescues me from fear. . . and keeps me anticipating the next song to boot up while each moment possible can be peacefully cherished!

Descubrí a Dido por una canción recomendada, White Flags y ufff me súper encanto y me investigue todo sobre ella y me dio tristeza que por el momento ya no estubiera con disco nuevo y derrepente sale con este disco es un sueño 💕 además de que su estilo musical y vocal es el mismo!!! Dido una verdadera artista única y talentosa. #MexicoPresente

what does she mean by telling " You don't need a God"?

I really is an irony of life. It's something on how people complain about their surroundings. And God is omnipresent and she highlights that. People waits for God as a figure and they don't realize God is everything we have: the air, the water, the nature, our friends, and so on

What? After God Is A Woman, there's a new song called You Don't Need a God? It's over Dido. I stopped listening to Celine. Now, you're next...😎

Yea I was thinking the same thing. I love dido but this kinda threw me off for a big loop.😡 I need God everyday....all day❤️

She talking about humans being there own god. New age agenda luciferian crap. Of course the music industry wouldn't let her back if she wasn't down for it. I was her biggest fan and she's failed me.

actually i was about to start a big argument about this lyric 😡😡 until one of these guys here explained me that it s a British expression and cos i m not a native speaker , i told him i hope u re right . but u know guys ...even Stephen Hawkins and Albert Einstein needed that one , unique God (only one God ....not 'a' God 😤 ) in their lives . the ppl (Albert and Steph ) who were trying to prove that there is no God and i m sure if u asked them ' have u ever read any religious book ? Quran ? Bible ? Torah or any ? ' (actually cos i m a Muslim , i can only tell u that Quran will answer to all atheists' questions ) they would probably say that ' no . why do we need Quran or these crap books ?
but the point is , when u have pain , u go to a doctor and obey him without asking excessive question from him/her . so when u have religious problems , of course u must follow your mind and study religious book in order to find your answer and if u say ' oh come on ... religous books ? u re so behind . are u out of your mind ? ' then i should tell u that it s all your problem not religion's problem . it s exactly like that doctor which i explained to u . it doesnt have anything to do with those doctors . we have good doctors and bad doctors . u can do a research for that cos it s completely up to your decision and there is no obligation in that for u . as our Quran says ' there s no obligation in praying your God and this religion , Islam .
so Dido or anybody else here , if u dont want to pray or dont need ' a '🤦‍♂️ God , it s up to your decision . make your choice . cos God is not gonna send u a postal card . u can wait until the end of your life .
actually this comment is somehow a reply to all of these comments here . cos i read all of them and so sorry for a few . it is for everyone and not just for the original one cos everyone has this right during his/her life to go and search for what he/she believes is right .
gl 🤗

DIDO vos inconfundivel e LINDA.

💓💓💓

Your biggest fan, my husband Scott, passed away in 2010 from a Champix induced suicide, sadly it never went to court, we could not at that time prove it as the drug was relatively new to Australia. How he adored both your manner and your music, how we both did. 'Whiteflag' and 'No freedom' kept me going after that, I often feel. 'You don't need a God to pray out here...' how I wish he could have heard this beautiful song before he slowly passed away into the arms of arms of Jesus, way out in nature in his little white ute, in the Tasmanian bush down by Myrtle Bank. Thankyou Dido, our memories continue with you; your beautiful songs laced and interwoven through our family of 4 fatherless and myself. you have been the vein of gold both before as well as after his death, breathing calm, breathing life back into our family- your songs -your lyrics, have made our lives like a motion picture. Thankyou for reaching down. Abigail Turner x

Beautiful Abigail . . . I am so sorry for your loss . . .

Beautifully written x

I am so sorry for your lost and yes this song it's perfect, brings me some memories on my head.

Abigail Turner A big hug for you, from Brazil. God with him and with you. God Bless you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@Abigail Turner - so sorry for your loss. Feel free to express yourself, including your faith, here. No one should be made to feel ashamed for their beliefs. <3

Your music is the only one that doesn't compete with your talent...😞

So good

despues de escuchar esta cancion no quiero escuchar ningun otra en mi VIDA! la amo

Poland love You 💕

Hermosa canción gracias Dido por regresar !

My favourite from the album. That pretty humming makes all the difference.

💘💘

This song contradicts with Sitting on the Roof of the World

You are the best
