“Something to Believe” touches on the absence of meaning to people’s lives in the modern day, a vacancy previously occupied by things such as religion, family, or society. Weyes Blood touches on the fleeting feeling of motivation at the start of the song, but states that without something to believe...
[Verse 1]
Drank a lot of coffee today
Got lost in the fray, I gave all I had for a time
Then by some strange design, I got a case of the empties
The ruler of my world, a lost forgotten pearl
When fire leaves a girl
Too burned to try my life
Living on the fault line
And at night
[Chorus]
I just lay down and cry
The waters don't really go by me
Give me something I can see
Something bigger and louder than the voices in me
Something to believe
[Bridge]
Didn't always do it right
Might've left the heat on high
Didn't know I had any left
Thought I finally met my death
Gonna do all I can
To stay away from the quicksand
Gonna do all I can
[Verse 2]
Nobody's gonna love you the same way
Some of us go astray, I walked so far from them all
Instead of dropping the ball, I seem to carry so many
The colors don't align, a question of time
I seem to lose what I find
Please give me a sign soon
Really wanna find out the truth
And at night
[Chorus]
I just lay down and cry
The waters don't really go by me
Give me something I can see
Something bigger and louder than the voices in me
Something to believe, to believe
Something to believe
Something to believe
Something to believe
Something to believe
