Give Me Something
Yearning for Faith: Emeli Sandé's Quest for Belief
Lyrics
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement
I guess I got caught up
Feeling entangled or involved
In the rough and tumble
In difficult and competitive circumstances
I didn't mean to cause no trouble
Unintentionally causing disturbance or problems
At all, at all
Emphasizing the absence of any intention to cause trouble
I'm just so sick
Exhausted or tired
Of the dream they're selling
Discontent with false promises or illusions
It doesn't feel like heaven
Disconnection between promised paradise and reality
At all, at all
Reiterating the lack of satisfaction with the promised dream
So give me something
Requesting something substantial or meaningful
Give me something
Repetition and emphasis on the plea for something genuine to believe in
Give me something
-I can believe in
-Give me something
-Come on, give me something
-Please give me something
-I can believe in
-I fell in love with fear
Falling for the allure of fear
Oh God forgive me
Seeking forgiveness for succumbing to fear
Have mercy on me
Asking for compassion or leniency
Oh it's not easy here
Expressing the difficulty of the situation
Hey please excuse the mess
Apologizing for the chaos or disorder
See, I just wanna feel
Desire to deeply experience emotions
Oh I mean really really feel
Yearning for a profound emotional connection
It all, it all
Wanting to feel everything intensely
So give me something
Pleading for something genuine to believe in, especially from a higher power
Please God, give me something
-Give me something
-I can believe in
-Give me something
-Come on, give me something
-Give me something
-I can believe in
-Oh yeah, you got people
Recognition of having people around
But people change their minds
Highlighting the transient nature of people's decisions, hearts, and relationships, questioning the stability and future
And people change their hearts
-With the seasons
-And then the songs
-They too must end
-So tell me now, my friend
-Where does that leave us?
-Give me something
Reiteration and amplification of the plea for something substantial to have faith in
Come on, give me something
-Oh please God, give me something
-I can believe in
-Give me something, anything
-Give me something
-Give me something
-I can believe in
-Give me something
Continued appeal for something trustworthy to believe in
Give me something
-Honey something
-I can believe in
