Described as "an ethereal mixture of darkwave and electro," "thumping drumbeats followed by cavernous vocals," "euphonious guitar and warm, subdued keyboards," BATZZ in the Belfry draws from a number of influences, but unashamedly delivers music in the traditions of goth, darkwave and ethereal.
Trusting
Batzz in the Belfry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I want to run
In the time of failure
I am beaten down
I am holding tightly
By a single thread
I am only trusting
As I reap the whirlwind
Staring at my sin
In the darkened hallway
I am wandering blind
In the harsh betrayal
As my love grows cold
As my love grows cold
I am holding tightly
By a single thread
I can see no further
I can only trust
I am only dust
I am only trusting
The lyrics of Batzz in the Belfry's song Trusting convey a sense of vulnerability, uncertainty, and surrender. The singer seems to be going through a period of hardship and doubt, where they are confronted with difficult questions and painful experiences. The first stanza implies a feeling of helplessness, where the singer feels that there is no way out and is overwhelmed by the challenges they face. The reference to "reaping the whirlwind" suggests that the situation is the result of their past actions, implying a sense of guilt and regret. In the second stanza, the singer expresses their confusion and despair, feeling lost and directionless. The use of imagery, such as the "darkened hallway" and "wandering blind," adds to the sense of disorientation and despair. The final stanza brings together the themes of humility and trust. The singer acknowledges their own frailty and insignificance, recognizing that they are no more than "only dust." Yet, at the same time, they find solace in the act of trusting, holding on to a "single thread" of hope, even when everything else seems to be falling apart.
