“Godspeed” by James Blake is about a man who is reflecting on his life and comes to the conclusion that the only way to change his life is to die. “Godspeed” is a slow, minimalistic song that is meant to make the listener feel as though they are being pulled down by the weight of their own thoughts. As the song progresses, the man’s thoughts become more and more tragic. In order to make the listener feel the emotion of the song, Blake uses a minimalistic production in which the drums and bass are the only instruments.

“Godspeed” by James Blake Lyrics
I will always love you how I do
Let go of a prayer for you
It’s a sweet word
The table is prepared for you
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Wishing you godspeed, glory
There will be mountains you won’t move
Still I’ll always be there for you
How I do
I let go of my claim on you
It’s a free world
You look down on where you came from sometimes
But still you’ll have this place to call home always
Glory, glory, glory, glory
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
This love will keep us from blinding of the eyes
Silence in the ears, darkness of the mind
