Faith
Bizkit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like me

But I gotta think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
'Cause I play them too

Oh, but I need some time off
From that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
When that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man, baby
But I'm showin' you that door

I gotta have faith
Gotta have faith
Gotta have faith
Gotta have faith

Baby, I know you're askin' me to stay
Say please, please, please don't go away
'Cause you're givin' me the blues
Maybe you might mean all the words you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to the lover boy rules

Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you pick my heart up off the floor
When our love comes down
Without devotion
Well, it takes a strong man, baby
But I'm showing you that door

I gotta have faith
Gotta have faith
Gotta have faith
Gotta have faith

Get the fuck up

I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith
I gotta have faith

Faith




Have faith
Ah

Overall Meaning

The song "Faith" by Bizkit is actually a cover of the original song by George Michael. The lyrics explore the theme of love and relationships, specifically the vulnerability and hesitation that comes with opening oneself up to someone else. The "touch your body" line suggests a desire for physical intimacy, but the following lines show the singer's wariness and caution. He acknowledges that he's "gotta think twice" before giving his heart away, and that he knows the games that people play in relationships because he's played them too.


The chorus of the song, where the singer proclaims that he's "gotta have faith", can be interpreted multiple ways. On one hand, it could mean that he needs to trust in the other person and have faith that their love is real and worthwhile. On the other hand, it could be interpreted as a form of self-assurance - he needs to have faith in himself and his ability to make the right decision about his heart. The bridge of the song suggests that the singer has been hurt before and doesn't want to go through that pain again. He needs time and detachment to heal from past wounds before he can fully commit to someone else.


Overall, the song presents a nuanced exploration of love and relationships, highlighting the delicate balance between vulnerability and self-preservation. It's a powerful testament to the complexity of human emotions and the difficulty of romantic connections.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body
I know not everybody has got a body like me
But I got to think twice before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play cause I play them too
Oh, but I need some time off from that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
When that love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby,
But I'm showing you the door

[Chorus]
Well, I gotta have faith!
Gotta have faith!
Gotta have faith!
Gotta have faith!

[Verse 2]
Baby I know you're asking me to stay
Say please, please, please, don't go away
Cause you're giving me the blues
Baby, your mind made all the word you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to loverboy blues
Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you pick my heart up off the floor
When our love comes down without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby,
But I'm showing you that door

[Chorus]
Well, I gotta have faith!
Gotta have faith!
Gotta have faith!
Gotta have faith!
Get the fuck up!
I gotta have faith!
I gotta have faith!
I gotta have faith!
I gotta have faith!
Faith!
Faith!

Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has gotta body like me
But I gotta think twice
Before I give my heart away
And I know all the games you play
Because I play them too
Oh, but I need some time off
From that emotion
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
When that love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I'm showin' you that door
Well I gotta have faith
Got to have faith [Repeat: x3]
Baby, I know you're askin' me to stay
Say please, please, please don't go away
'Cause you're givin' me the blues
Maybe, you might mean all the words you say
Can't help but think of yesterday
And another who tied me down to the lover boy blues
Before this river becomes an ocean
Before you pick my heart up off the floor
When our love comes down
Without devotion
Well it takes a strong man baby
But I'm showing you that door
Well I gotta have faith

Gotta have faith

Get the fuck up!

This used to be my alarm sound. It started at the chorus. Scared the shit out of me every single morning; it was fucking effective at waking me up fully 😂 nothing like starting the day with a mild panic attack 😅

my alarm was IEAIAIO by system of a down: 15 seconds of drums before the guitars kicked in and woke up the house, definitely a way to make you shut it off ASAP
