Believe
Blue October UK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

See them wasting on the bone, and the tears they cry
Find the places on you own, for the scars she'll hide
Night falls, as the Winter turns in sleet
She calls out loud "Won't you stay away from me"
All alone, feeling strong
When you need her, she'll be gone
You wonder why it took so long
And why it's harder to go on
See the faces on their own, and the words they lie
So you faked it back at home, happened once or twice
Night falls, as the Winter turns in sleet
She calls out loud "What the hell is wrong with me?"
All alone, feeling strong
When you need her, she'll be gone
You wonder why it took so long
And why it's harder to go on
Night falls, as the Winter turns in sleet
She calls out loud "What the hell is wrong with me?"
All alone, feeling strong
When you need her, she'll be gone




You wonder why it took so long
And why it's harder to go on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blue Ocotber UK's song "Believe" talk about the struggles of dealing with emotional pain and trying to heal from it. The first verse describes a person who is wasting away and crying tears from the pain they are experiencing. The song suggests that they need to find their own path to healing because the scars they have are something they are trying to hide.


As the night falls, the winter turns into sleet, and the person calls out to others asking them to stay away. This can be interpreted as the person feeling overwhelmed and not wanting others to get involved with their pain. They are alone and feeling strong, but when they need someone, they are gone, which highlights the isolation and abandonment that often accompanies emotional pain. The person is wondering why it took so long for them to heal and why it's even harder to keep going.


In the next verse, the song talks about the lies people tell to themselves and others when dealing with emotional pain. It seems that the person in the song has faked being okay a few times, but it only happened once or twice. Again, as the night falls and the winter turns into sleet, the person calls out asking what is wrong with them. The person is alone and feeling strong, but when they need someone, they are gone. The repetition of this line emphasizes the feelings of isolation and abandonment that accompany emotional pain, making it even harder to move on and heal.


Overall, the lyrics of "Believe" by Blue Ocotber UK offer a powerful message about the difficulties of healing from emotional pain, the isolation and abandonment that can occur, and the importance of finding one's own path to healing.
