Doubt
Arcwelder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey - and did you want to help me out?
And help this fear and help this doubt
For what it's worth I have my doubts
So - when all is good and all is right
And you make day from what is night
I found this balance nature's right
[chorus]
Take this down and put it somewhere safe
And when it dies you'll call it rape
If thoughts are life then I don't think
So tell me who it was this time
Now - now climb the side of marburg cliff
With blood red moss instead of dirt
It's filled with every fear that's lurked
Well - well if you're counting, count on us
We'll help you find what you have loss
Well if it counts you've lost my trust
[chorus]
So this right I have my doubts
So this is something I have my doubts
So nothing is something I have my doubts
The lyrics of Arcwelder's song Doubt convey a sense of uncertainty and fear, both in oneself and in others. The opening lines of the song, "Hey - and did you want to help me out? And help this fear and help this doubt" suggest a desire for comfort and support in the face of doubt and insecurity. The next lines, "For what it's worth I have my doubts" reveal the singer's pessimism, despite reaching out for help.
The second verse, "So - when all is good and all is right, And you make day from what is night, I found this balance nature's right" juxtaposes the feeling of things being ok with the lurking uncertainty the singer feels. The chorus is a contemplation of the transience of ideas and thoughts, as well as the uncertainty about who or what is responsible for the loss of a thought. The final verse, "Now - now climb the side of marburg cliff, With blood red moss instead of dirt, It's filled with every fear that's lurked" is a vivid metaphor for the overwhelming and frightening feelings we may confront in life.
