Lyrics

You talk too much

You are talkative.

Maybe that's your way of breaking up the silence

Perhaps talking is your way of avoiding silence, even though it doesn't have the same impact when nobody is truly listening.

That fills you up but it doesn't sound the same

Silence fills you, but it lacks authenticity when there's no attentive audience.

When no one's really listening

Speaking without a genuine listener doesn't resonate the same way.


We stumble into our lives

We navigate through life.

Reach for a hand to hold

We seek companionship and support.

Any wonder we need to find

It's natural to search for a specific, reassuring certainty.

A certain something certain

We crave something definite.


Turn out the light and what are you left with

In darkness, what remains?

Open up my hands and find out they're empty

Upon examination, my hands are empty, symbolizing a lack of substance.

Press my face to the ground , I've got to find a reason

A desperate quest for purpose, pressing against the ground.

Just scratching around for something to believe in

Seeking fervently for a meaningful belief.

Something to believe in

The yearning for something profound to have faith in.


You have too much

You possess abundance.

And spending all your time collecting and discovering

Despite collecting and discovering, it's insufficient.

It's not enough and no matter how you try

Endeavors fall short, and the desired one remains elusive.

You'll never find the one you want

The sought-after fulfillment is unattainable.


We stumble into our lives

We enter life without support.

Without a hand to hold

Alone, we ponder the necessity of finding certainty.

And we wonder we need to find

The search for a specific, reassuring certainty persists.

A certain something certain

Yearning for something definite intensifies.


Cut out the light and what are you left with?

Remove the light; what remains?

Open up my hands and find out they're empty, oh

Discovering emptiness when hands are open.

Press my face to the ground, I'm gonna find a reason

Face pressed to the ground, driven by the need for a reason.

Still scratching around for something to believe in

Continuing the relentless search for a belief to hold onto.

Something to believe in

The quest for something to believe in persists.


Something I can believe in

Desire for a belief intensifies.

Something I can believe in, come on I need it

An urgent plea for something to believe in.

Something I can believe in now, come on I need it

Reiteration of the need for a belief.

Something I can believe in, come on I need it, ooh

Intense desire for something to believe in.

Something I can believe in, come on I need it, ooh, oh

Repeated emphasis on the urgent need for belief.


Right on, right now, right on, right now

An affirmation of immediacy and urgency.

I just need something to believe in

An outright declaration of the need for something to believe in.


Come on, come on, come on, come on

A call, repeatedly and urgently, for something to believe in.

Come on, come on, come on, come on

-

Come on, come on, come on, come on
