Faith
Bellevue Days Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so famished, I can't sleep
Cracks in the concrete
The towers before me
With voices distorted they speak
It's a pretty big world, for the meek
Help me, I'm weak
Fill me real with the touch that I seek
But I don't need your faith to get me through
Candles burned in, in the house
Without sin, is all around
Help me read it aloud
Watch the lights flicker out, flicker in
They told me to wait, it'll come
You'll know when it's done
Help me to please, just decide if you see
Just decide if you see, if you see
Oh, but I don't need your faith to get me through
What has it ever done, what has it ever done
What has it ever done
For you, for you
What (has it ever done) for you
For
me, Faith by Bellevue Days appears to express the inner struggles of a person who is experiencing a loss of faith in themselves and is seeking solace in something else. The song's opening lines demonstrate feelings of fatigue and emptiness. The singer expresses their starvation, but they are not referring to physical hunger. Instead, it appears to be a metaphor for their emotional state. The cracks in the concrete serve as a symbol of the singer's emotional distress, which seems like it is threatening to erode their self-confidence even further. The towers are a reminder of the vastness of the world and the singer's comparative insignificance.
The second verse also conveys the idea that the singer is searching for something to fill this emptiness within them. The candles in the house are an image of hope and the purity of that which is without sin surrounding the singer. Even so, the singer is uncertain and requests assistance in deciphering their own difficulties. In the final verse of the song, the singer arrives at the realization that they do not require anyone else's faith to endure their difficult time. They recognize that faith has not delivered concrete solutions to their problems, validating their own internal strength.

I think I got it. Hope it helps.
I'm so tired, I can't eat
I'm so famished, I can't sleep
Cracks in the concrete
The towers before me
With voice, distorted, they speak
It's a pretty big world
For the meek
Help me, I'm weak
Take if you must
It's the word that I trust
Feel me real from the touch, that I seek
But I don't need
Your faith
To get me through
Candles burned in
In the house
Without sin
Is all around
Help me read it aloud
Watch the lights flicker out, flicker in
They told me to wait
It'll come
You'll know when it's done
Help me to please
Just a sign if you see
Just a sign if you see
If you see
Hope that I don't need
Your faith
To get me through
What has it ever done?
What has it ever done?
What has it ever done?
For you?
For you
What?
For you
Fuck.
