Call, The
Miscellaneous
I Still Believe (great Design)
I been in a cave
For forty days
Only a spark
To light my way
I wanna give out
I wanna give in
This is our crime
This is our sin

But i still believe
I still believe
Through the pain
And the grief
Through the lies
Through the storms
Through the cries
And through the wars
Oh, i still believe

Flat on my back
Out a sea
Hopin' these waves
Don't cover me
I'm turned and tossed
Upon the waves
When the darkness comes
I feel the grave

But i still believe
I still believe
Through the cold
And the heat
Through the pain
And through the tears
Through the crowds
And through the cheers
Oh, i still believe

I'll march this road
I'll climb this hill
Down on my knees if i have to
I'll take my place
Up on this stage
I'll wait 'til the end of time
For you like everybody else
I'm out on my own
Walkin' the streets
Look at the faces
That i meet
I feel like i like i want to go home
What do i feel
What do i know

But i still believe
I still believe
Through the shame
And through the grief
Through the heartache
Through the years
Through the waiting
Through the years

For people like us
In places like this
We need all the hope




That we can get
Oh, i still believe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Antiloop's song "Believe" speak to the human experience of persevering through adversity, pain, and uncertainty. The song begins with the image of being trapped in a cave, with only a "spark" to light the way. The singer expresses a desire to give in and give up, acknowledging that their struggles are a result of their own actions ("This is our crime/This is our sin"). Despite this, however, they assert their belief that they can still persevere and find hope: "But I still believe/Through the pain and the grief/Through the lies, through the storms/Through the cries and through the wars".


The image of being out at sea, uncertain and afraid, is then introduced. The singer acknowledges the possibility of being overwhelmed and "covered" by waves, but again asserts their belief in their ability to keep going: "But I still believe/Through the cold and the heat/Through the pain and through the tears/Through the crowds and through the cheers". The idea of perseverance is further emphasized in the next lines, where the singer commits to "marching this road" and "climbing this hill", even if it means going to extremes ("Down on my knees if I have to").


In the final verse, the singer considers the idea of "home" and what it means to feel lost and alone in the world. Despite this, they again assert their belief that they can endure, and that hope and perseverance are necessary and valuable: "But I still believe/Through the shame and through the grief/Through the heartache, through the years/Through the waiting, through the tears/For people like us in places like this/We need all the hope that we can get/Oh, I still believe".


Overall, "Believe" is a powerful expression of the human experience of struggling through adversity, and the importance of finding hope and perseverance in the face of difficulty.


Line by Line Meaning

I been in a cave
I've been isolated and alone for a long time


For forty days
The time period I've been isolated for


Only a spark
A small light that barely illuminates anything


To light my way
To guide me through the darkness


I wanna give out
I want to share love and happiness with others


I wanna give in
I want to submit and surrender myself to something bigger than me


This is our crime
Not being able to connect and empathize with one another is our wrongdoing


This is our sin
Our inability to love and unite together as a society is our moral failing


But I still believe
Despite everything, I have faith that things will get better


Through the pain
Despite the physical and emotional suffering I've been through


And the grief
Despite the overwhelming sense of loss and sadness


Through the lies
Despite the deceit and betrayal that surrounds me


Through the storms
Despite the chaos and turmoil of life


Through the cries
Despite the sorrowful calls for help


And through the wars
Despite the violence and aggression in the world


Flat on my back
Lying helpless and vulnerable


Out at sea
Lost and adrift in the vastness of life


Hopin' these waves
Hoping that the circumstances won't overwhelm me


Don't cover me
Don't drown me and take away my ability to hope


I'm turned and tossed
I'm being thrown around by life's unpredictable twists and turns


Upon the waves
Riding the ups and downs of life


When the darkness comes
During the bleakest moments of life


I feel the grave
I feel like I'm about to die or give up


I'll march this road
I'll keep going on this path


I'll climb this hill
I'll overcome the obstacles in my way


Down on my knees if I have to
I'm willing to submit myself completely to overcome this obstacle


I'll take my place
I'm willing to fight and stand up for what I believe in


Up on this stage
In front of the world, I'll defend my beliefs and values


I'll wait 'til the end of time
I'm willing to be patient and persistent, even if it takes forever


For you like everybody else
I'm doing this for you, for us, for everyone


I'm out on my own
I'm alone in this journey, but I'll keep going


Walkin' the streets
I'm traveling through the world, encountering different faces and situations


Look at the faces
Observing the expressions of others


That I meet
The people I come across


I feel like I want to go home
I feel lost and long for a place of comfort and safety


What do I feel
I'm asking myself, what am I really feeling


What do I know
I'm wondering what I truly understand about life and the world


For people like us
For those who face adversity and struggle in life


In places like this
In the troubled and difficult parts of the world


We need all the hope
We require all the optimism and positivity we can get


That we can get
To provide us with strength and motivation to carry on

I remember playing and listening to this music over and over again when I was a kid, this song never gets old, techno is the best

@mare9738

This song and nowhere to hide are in my opinion the best tracks from this band

@BlastarX

I think the "In my mind" is equally good.

@CSOCSO

​@@BlastarX I feel like this and nowhere to hide is almost a carbon copy of each other. Literally sounds like the same song but Nowhere to hide sounds better. Maybe it's just a better quality upload but In my mind is definitely the best Antiloop track.
