Don't Believe in Me
Chasing Redemption: Unveiling the Struggle for Belief
Lyrics
stuck in purgatory but it feels a lot like hell
Feeling stuck in a state of uncertainty, resembling hell.
on the second story of a dirty old motel
Located on the second floor of a rundown motel.
am I running from my dreams, Jesus or myself
Questioning whether running from dreams, Jesus, or oneself.
nowhere in this whole wide world that's ever felt like home
No place in the world feels like home.
people tell me I should pray to a god I've never known
Advised to pray to an unfamiliar god.
and the tv just reminds me that I still feel so alone
Feeling alone despite the presence of a TV.
open up the sky and let me out
Expressing a desire for freedom, asking to be let out.
I wanna stare you in the face and ask you how
Wanting to confront or question a higher power.
am I supposed to wait a lifetime to finally be set free
Questioning the need to wait a lifetime for freedom.
when I believe in something that don't believe in me
Believing in something that doesn't reciprocate belief.
I hear people saying that my heart is full of sin
Others accuse the speaker of having a sinful heart.
tell me what makes my sins different than them
Challenging the distinction between one's sins and others.
they wanna wash me in the river but there's nothing left to wash away
Resisting purification as there's nothing to wash away.
what's the point of praying if there's nothing left to say
Questioning the purpose of prayer when there's nothing to say.
open up the sky and let me out
Reiterating the desire for liberation from current circumstances.
I wanna stare you in the face and ask you how
Expressing a need to confront a higher power directly.
am I supposed to wait a lifetime to finally be set free
Questioning the prolonged wait for freedom.
when I believe in something that don't believe in me
Repeating the theme of belief in something that doesn't reciprocate.
am I supposed to wait a lifetime to finally be set free
Reiterating the questioning of a lifetime wait for freedom.
when I believe in something that don't believe in me
Reiterating the frustration of believing in something unresponsive.
when I believe in something that don't believe in me
Emphasizing the paradox of believing in something that doesn't believe in oneself.
