Believer
Adelle Nqeto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Could it be you made a believer
You made a believer out of me?
Do you believe it?
If you perceive this all could be
More than make believe
Float like worthless air up to an endless sky
Am I amiss for asking for a sign?
And this endeavour
To find the words to bring some meaning to my life
Am I amiss for asking why I'm alive?
Tell it to me
Tell it to me like you did back when
You made a believer out of me
Is it still true
Is it still you?
My heart isn't warming
Can you make a believer out of me?
Oh, my lover
I've been searching and I still can't figure you out
All I know now is what I can't live without
And my treasure
Is that since you left, long after I've been found
And I swear again too soon to know it now
I know it now
It's still true
You could be you made a believer
You made a believer out of me
In Adelle Nqeto's song "Believer," the lyrics explore themes of faith, doubt, and the power of belief. The singer questions the truth behind someone's influence in her life, wondering if they truly made her a believer. She ponders whether she should believe in something greater than what appears to be mere illusions or make-believe.
The first stanza asks if it's true that this person has made her a believer and questions whether they believe in the depth and potential of their connection. The following stanza delves deeper into the uncertainty, as the singer wonders if there is something more to this relationship, something beyond mere fantasy. She questions her own desire for a sign, a confirmation that this belief is indeed real.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on her search for meaning and purpose in a world where her questions seem to dissipate into the vast sky, appearing worthless and insignificant. She wonders if she is wrong to ask for a sign, to desire clarity about her existence. The singer then refers to this quest as an endeavor to find words that bring meaning to her life, asking herself if she is amiss for questioning her own purpose and reason for being alive.
In the chorus, the singer pleads for the subject of her admiration to tell her the truth, to remind her of the power they once had in making her a believer. She longs for that feeling to be reignited, for her heart to warm with belief once again. However, she expresses doubt, questioning if it is still true, if it is still the same person who can reignite that belief within her.
The next verse reveals the singer's struggle to understand her lover, expressing her ongoing search for answers. She admits that she still can't figure them out, but acknowledges that she now knows what she can't live without - implying that this person has become an integral part of her life.

Oh, my lover
Oh, the person I am romantically involved with
I've been searching and I still can't figure you out
I have been trying to understand you but I am still unable to
All I know now is what I can't live without
All I am certain of is what I cannot imagine my life without
And my treasure
And the valuable thing or person to me
Is that since you left, long after I've been found
Is the realization that, even after I have found you, you have left
And I swear again too soon to know it now
And I promise once again, perhaps prematurely, to understand it now
I know it now
I have now come to understand or realize it
It's still true
It is still the case or valid
You could be you made a believer
You have the potential to convince and inspire me
You made a believer out of me
You successfully changed my beliefs or opinions
