God Knew

In 'God Knew,' Jonny Houlihan explores the transformative power of love and the belief in divine intervention. The song begins with the narrator reflecting on a period of loneliness and self-sufficiency. He describes a life where he was falling down a metaphorical 'rabbit hole,' isolated and without anyone checking in on him. This paints a picture of a man who had resigned himself to a solitary existence, believing he had everything he needed, only to realize that he was missing something crucial—love and companionship.

The turning point in the song comes when the narrator meets someone who changes his life completely. This person is described as an 'angel, heaven sent,' indicating a sense of divine orchestration. The arrival of this person brings a profound shift in the narrator's emotional state, taking his heart to places it has never been before. The lyrics emphasize the unexpected nature of this encounter and how it fills a void the narrator didn't even know existed. The repeated phrase 'God knew' underscores the belief that this meeting was not a mere coincidence but a part of a higher plan.

As the song progresses, the narrator expresses deep gratitude for this newfound love. He can't imagine his life without this person and feels as though he's experiencing life anew, with simple acts like holding hands taking on significant meaning. The song concludes with a reaffirmation of faith, as the narrator acknowledges that this love was a divine gift, something he had prayed for without even realizing it. 'God Knew' is a heartfelt ode to the idea that love can be a divine intervention, bringing completeness and joy to one's life.
