The Believer
Rising Above Despair: Unveiling the Truth in 'The Believer'
Lyrics
The reason we feel, this is the reason we sing this song
The purpose behind our emotions is the motivation for singing this song.
We stand for nothing and no one
We don't support or represent any particular cause or individual.
You stand for nothing at all
You, however, don't stand for anything.
The reason we feel, this is the reason we sing this song
Reiteration of the emotional motivation for singing this song.
We stand for nothing and no one
We continue to lack support for anything or anyone.
You stand for nothing at all
You still don't stand for anything.
We're victims of our innocence
We are suffering from the consequences of our naivety.
Another story told and the truth fades like sand
Stories are told, but the truth gets obscured over time.
Take our eyes, our empty eyes because they keep on staring
Our eyes, devoid of meaning, keep staring; a metaphor for a lack of direction.
Damn, I'm feeling down today
Expressing a feeling of sadness or melancholy.
Yes when we feel like giving up random thoughts will come crashing in
Even when we contemplate giving up, random thoughts intervene.
Will come crashing in
Repetition emphasizing the intrusive nature of random thoughts.
Raze our minds - I won't stand for nothing
Rejecting the idea of standing for nothing, expressing a desire for purpose.
I'm feeling a bit diseased by the words that come to me
Feeling negatively affected by the words that come to mind.
I wish I was a believer, but you know I'm not
Expressing a wish to believe in something, despite the current skepticism.
We both know the truth, lies are used as proof
Acknowledging a shared truth but highlighting the use of lies as evidence.
We both know the truth, lies are used as proof
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of truth and the misuse of lies as evidence.
The reason we feel, this is the reason we sing this song
Repetition of the emotional motivation for singing this song.
We stand for nothing and no one
We continue to lack support for anything or anyone.
You stand for nothing at all
You still don't stand for anything.
We're victims of our innocence
Reiteration of suffering from the consequences of our naivety.
Another story told and the truth fades like sand
Repetition of stories being told, with the truth fading away.
Take our eyes, our empty eyes because they keep on staring
Our eyes, devoid of meaning, keep staring; a metaphor for a lack of direction.
Damn, I'm feeling down today
Expressing a feeling of sadness or melancholy.
Yes when we feel like giving up random thoughts will come crashing in
Even when we contemplate giving up, random thoughts intervene.
I can't stand this, I can't feel this, I can't stand you anymore
Intense rejection and inability to tolerate a situation or individual.
I despise each one of you motherfuckers, you better let me go!
Expressing strong disdain and a desire to be free from others.
The reason we feel, this is the reason we sing this song
Reiteration of the emotional motivation for singing this song.
We stand for nothing and no one
We continue to lack support for anything or anyone.
You stand for nothing at all
You still don't stand for anything.
I'm feeling a bit diseased by the words that come to me
Feeling negatively affected by the words that come to mind.
I wish I was a believer, but you know I'm not
Expressing a wish to believe in something, despite the current skepticism.
