Believer
Black Honey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh
I'm a believer
Ooh
I'm a believer baby
Ooh
I'm a believer
My heart was at war with the rage inside my mind
Got a taste, a new sensation
On my knees, a last confession
Riding high, swinging low
This is how it goes
Ooh
I'm a believer baby
Ooh
I'm a believer
Ooh
I'm a believer baby
Ooh
I'm a believer
I found where I belong, I was blind but now I see
I was born right here, on the outside looking in
You don't look a thing like Jesus
Waited my whole life to sing this
Riding high, swinging low
This is how it goes
Ooh
I'm a believer baby
Ooh
I'm a believer
Ooh
I'm a believer baby
Ooh
I'm a believer
Born Again
How sweet the sound
Ooh
I'm a believer baby
Ooh
I'm a believer
Ooh
I'm a believer baby
Ooh
I'm a believer
How sweet the sound
How sweet the sound
The song "Believer" by Black Honey is a powerful anthem that speaks about overcoming difficulties and finding one's place in the world. From the opening lines, "I'm a believer baby, Ooh, I'm a believer," the lead singer declares her conviction and faith, as if she has overcome any doubts or uncertainties. The next lines reveal that she used to be "a little dead behind the eyes," conveying a sense of emotional numbness or depression. However, she found "a new sensation" that helped her confess her secrets and embrace her desires. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm a believer" with an infectious rhythm and melody, suggesting that the singer has found a way to express herself and connect with others.
The second verse of the song deepens the themes of identity and belonging, as the singer sings, "I found where I belong, I was blind but now I see, I was born right here, on the outside looking in." This line suggests that the singer may have felt like an outsider or misfit for most of her life, but she has now discovered a sense of purpose and meaning. The next line, "You don't look a thing like Jesus," might be interpreted as a reference to someone who is not conforming to societal norms or expectations. However, the line is followed by "Waited my whole life to sing this," which suggests that the singer has finally found her voice and is not afraid to speak her truth. The chorus repeats once more with added intensity and passion, emphasizing the message of the song: "I'm a believer baby, how sweet the sound, I'm a believer."
Overall, the lyrics to "Believer" evoke a sense of liberation, celebration, and resilience. The song speaks about overcoming challenges, discovering one's identity, and finding a sense of belonging. The repeated chorus emphasizes the importance of believing in oneself and in the power of music to connect people.

I'm a believer baby
I have faith and trust in something, darling
Ooh
A joyful vocalization expressing excitement
I was just a child a little dead behind the eyes
When I was young, I felt lifeless and cold inside
My heart was at war with the rage inside my mind
The emotions in my heart were in conflict with the angry thoughts in my head
Got a taste, a new sensation
I experienced something new and exciting
On my knees, a last confession
I was humbled and confessing something important
Riding high, swinging low
My mood is fluctuating between happiness and sadness
This is how it goes
This is the way life unfolds
I found where I belong, I was blind but now I see
I discovered where I fit in and now I can see clearly
I was born right here, on the outside looking in
I have always felt like an outsider
You don't look a thing like Jesus
You don't resemble the image I had of Jesus
Waited my whole life to sing this
I have been waiting to express myself like this for my entire life
Born Again
I have been renewed and reborn
How sweet the sound
This feels really wonderful and inspirational

He-Man
( Romans 2:4 )
"Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his Kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?"
❎ It's Not the Wrath of God that leads you to repentance.
❎ It's Not the Judgement of God that leads you to repentance.
❎ It's Not Hell or pain or fire.
❎ It's Not the punishment.
❎ It's Not his anger.
romans 2:4 ☑
"It's the kindness/goodness of God that leads you to repentance."
☑ God Is Not waiting to judge you.
☑ God Is Not waiting to condemn you.
☑ God Is waiting to receive you with mercy, with love, with open arms.
☑ Jesus took the Hell, the Judgement, the Punishment, the Wrath, the Pain, the Sentence that we deserved.
☑ God Is Not mad or angry at you and will never be.
☑ God doesn't turn away when you mess up.
☑ God Is Not an angry God.
☑ God won't hate you because you made a mistake one too many times. That's Not how he works.
☑ You are Loved by an incredibly Merciful, Gracious, and Forgiving Father.
☑ The Bible is about You and GOD
☑ God speaks to you through the Bible and the Bible is about you. It's all about God's love for you, God's promises for you, and God's unending willingness to forgive the mistakes you make.
☑ The Bible is also about God. The God who created the world and everyone in it. The God who saw what he made and it was good. The God who saw Adam and Eve fall into sin, and the God who sees everything you do, think, and say every moment of every day.
☑ God Endures. God will never leave you, God will never stop loving you, God will be your rock, God will always do what is best for you, God will always be by your side, every single moment of every single day.
☑ When God created you, he made you in his image.
☑ Turn from Sin, turn to God, find Life.
☑ JESUS is the Way, the Truth, and the Life
☑ FEAR GOD Jesus says you really shouldn’t be afraid of anything. Instead, you should fear God. WHY? Because God holds your entire story in his hands. And not just your story here on earth. God is the one who ultimately decides where you will spend eternity. But while you fear God, you can also trust in his Son, Jesus Christ, who died to forgive you of all the mistakes you make here on earth. On that day when you face God, Jesus intercedes on your behalf and reminds your heavenly Father that those sins were wiped away with his sacrifice on the cross.
☑ God IS Love. God IS Good.
☑ Before the Foundation/Creation of the World, God knew you, God loved you, God chose you
☑ God has the hairs of your head numbered Every moment of your life is watched by God
☑ It doesn't make any difference how far you try to run from God. He Loves you. His eye is on you and he sees you
☑ God Loves You with an Everlasting Love forever and ever.
☑ When God looks at you, he sees the Righteousness of Jesus.
☑ In God's eyes you are Loved, Chosen, Holy, and Without Fault
☑️ God Declares You Not Guilty
☑ You are Perfect in the Father's sight.
☑ See yourself the way God sees You.
☑ Our Identity is in Christ
☑ God holds nothing against you.
☑ Love keeps no record of wrongs.
☑ God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son.
☑ God loves you as much as he loves Jesus.
☑ God is for you, Not against you
☑ Jesus came from Heaven to this Earth for You.
☑ God wants You in Heaven. God wants All people to be saved. God's Will for you is to get you to Heaven. Bring you back to the Father. That's the GOAL
☑ Our home is not here but in Heaven. We are not of this world.
☑ Jesus died for you on the cross. He took your place and took your sins there. Look to Jesus.
☑ Sin cannot exist in God's presence, so Jesus was banished from the presence of God at the cross.
Despite your mistakes, failures, flaws, sins, words, thoughts, actions, Anything that you've done, God, your Heavenly Father, STILL loves you unconditionally
REVELATION = JESUS WINS 👑
