The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "God is a DJ," implying that the DJ is a kind of spiritual guide or intermediary, helping to connect people with a higher power through the medium of music. The song also touches on themes of hedonism, pleasure, and the idea that music can be a form of escapism or transcendence.
