Many Lives
Andrew Belle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My fingers are arguing over which
One of them gets to climb down your wrist
Introduce themselves to yours first
I try to make sense of this
'Cause my lips are starting to make a list
Of all of the things that they seem to have missed
Before the day that they met yours
Oh but, how many lives have we
How many lives have we
How many lives have we led
You're just getting over him
Your eyes are shining
But oh so dim
I heard he tore you apart limb from limb
You promise it wasn't the worst
And I hope there's enough for you
'Cause my love is bleeding and slightly bruised
You be the page and then I'll be the glue
Come here, I'll show you it hurts
Forget all the times that you sat felt sorry for yourself
'Cause that's done
I hope that you're falling for me and not just for my wealth
'Cause there's none
My heart's speeding up so I think that we should take it slow
Oh no, I
Think we should try to see just how far this thing can go
Oh, oh
I'm just getting over her
It's funny cause I thought I was so sure
You be the patient and I'll be the cure
Ain't that just the way that it goes
Oh but, how many lives have we
How many lives have we
How many lives have we led
The song “Many Lives” by Andrew Belle, is about two people who have finally found a new love and are moving on from their past. The first verse, the singer is describing his experience falling in love with someone new. He uses the image of his fingers to show how his heart is racing and how he is trying to make sense of his emotions. Then the chorus comes in, asking how many lives have they lived before they found each other? It’s a reflection on how one can experience so much in life, good and bad, until they find someone they truly love.
The second verse, the singer describes the girl he is falling in love with. He notices that she’s still healing from a past relationship but is determined to be her support system. He mentions how his love is bleeding but he’s willing to be the glue to heal her heart. The pre-chorus is trying to convince her to let go of her past and try to love again. Finally, the last verse, the girl is the one who is just getting over her past love. She describes how she thought she was sure of her love before but now realizes it wasn’t true love. The singer then promises to be her patient and cure her broken heart.

I'm just getting over this
I am beginning to get over this situation
My fingers are arguing over which
My fingers are fighting with each other
One of them gets to climb down your wrist
One of my fingers wants to touch your wrist
Introduce themselves to yours first
They want to touch your fingers first
I try to make sense of this
I am trying to understand what is happening
'Cause my lips are starting to make a list
My lips are beginning to make a mental list
Of all of the things that they seem to have missed
Of all the things they missed experiencing
Before the day that they met yours
Before they met your lips
Oh but, how many lives have we
How many times have we lived before?
You're just getting over him
You're trying to heal from him
Your eyes are shining
Your eyes are glowing
But oh so dim
But not as bright as they used to be
I heard he tore you apart limb from limb
I heard he hurt you really badly
You promise it wasn't the worst
You promise that there have been worse situations
And I hope there's enough for you
I hope I can provide what you need
'Cause my love is bleeding and slightly bruised
Because my love is still healing and a little hurt
You be the page and then I'll be the glue
You can be open with me and I'll be the one to hold us together
Come here, I'll show you it hurts
Come here and let me show you that I understand your pain
Forget all the times that you sat felt sorry for yourself
Forget all the times you felt bad about yourself
'Cause that's done
Because it's over now
I hope that you're falling for me and not just for my wealth
I hope that you love me for me and not what I have
'Cause there's none
Because I don't have much
My heart's speeding up so I think that we should take it slow
I'm feeling emotional, so let's take our time
Oh no, I
Oh no, I
Think we should try to see just how far this thing can go
Let's see how far our relationship can go
I'm just getting over her
I am beginning to get over someone else
It's funny cause I thought I was so sure
It's ironic because I thought I had it figured out
You be the patient and I'll be the cure
You can be vulnerable with me and I'll help you heal
Ain't that just the way that it goes
Isn't that just how things happen?
How many lives have we
How many times have we lived before?
How many lives have we
How many times have we lived before?
How many lives have we led
How many times have we experienced different lives?

I want you to imagine that you are floating in space.
You have no special suit, but you can breathe, and you can fly like a rocket ship. You're in a distant galaxy far away from home. All around you is the virtually infinite universe full of stars and planets and comets.
And you are completely alone.
The very idea to me is terrifying. The instant yearning to return home seems overwhelming. The sense of isolation is incomprehensible. And the vast unknown which I am plunged in strikes a fear in me that I cannot explain with words.
And yet, somehow, this song makes me feel less scared. Even if by a tiny bit.
There's this essence in the whole Black Bear album, punctuated most by this song, that somehow releases your soul from your body. It not only makes you feel like you could travel the entire universe, but that you were meant to.
And all of a sudden, your life falls into perspective.

When you find a song that feels like soul medicine. The lyrics play out not just in the song but in your life too 💜

I heard this song in a coffee shop and instantly fell in love with both the coffee and the song. 💕
@gingerisevil02
"Many lives" and "sister" are hands down my favorite songs on this album, can't get enough.
@jonathanhamrick4128
This song is everything I hope to one day feel for someone.
@jonathanhamrick4128
And yet, once the opportunity presents itself...back to Dark Matter and the title track. This album is a lyrical Jackson Pollack piece, in the best way.
@gojoet
I'm glad that I know Andrew ... when life is hard or easy, good or bad I can't stop listening to his music.
