Don't Believe In
Unveiling Dreams: Tess Anderson's Anthem of Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Why did I stay
Questioning the decision to stay in a situation.
When I should have flown away
Regretting not leaving when it was necessary.
Why did I chase
Wondering why chased someone else's idealized life.
Somebody else's fantasy
Reflecting on pursuing a fantasy instead of reality.
How could I not listen to my truest self
Expressing a failure to heed one's true self.
Now how do I survive inside somebody else
Feeling lost inside another person's existence.
I want to be living what I'm only dreaming
Desiring to live the dreams, not just imagine them.
I want to believe in what I'm not believing
Expressing a desire to believe in something elusive.
I want to be screaming all the feelings I'm not feeling
Wishing to vocalize suppressed emotions.
I want to believe in what I don't believe in
Expressing a desire to believe in the unbelievable.
There was a child
Introducing a past representation of innocence.
Who would run after the stars
Describing a child running after dreams.
Playful and wild
Characterizing the child as playful and untamed.
She was a firefly in the dark
Depicting the child as a source of light in darkness.
How could I not let her show the world that light
Regretting not allowing the child to shine.
How could I
Repetition emphasizing the emotional weight.
How could I
-How could I
-I want to be living what I'm only dreaming
Reiterating the desire for a more authentic life.
I want to believe in what I'm not believing
-I want to be screaming all the feelings I'm not feeling
-I want to believe in what I don't believe
-I believe
Expressing belief in something beyond the current situation.
In something more
Believing in a higher purpose or existence.
I want to be living what I'm only dreaming
Reiterating the desire for a genuine and fulfilling life.
I want to believe in what I'm not believing
-I want to be screaming all the feelings I'm not feeling
-I wanna fight for, I wanna bleed for
-What I'm not believing
-I want to be traveling through the stories I'm just reading
-Driven by adrenaline
-Living like it all could end
-I want to be singing all the songs I am not writing
-I want to believe in what I don't believe in
-Oooo
Expressing belief in something more.
I believe
Reaffirming belief in a higher purpose or meaning.
In something more
