Impact
Chain of Strength Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and still nothing, as if we dont even try
and theres nothing to be proud of
and nothing you can truly stand by
Its Time To Believe
ive got some things to say
and i cant save those thoughts forever
i want to see a change but you dont feel a thing
just to make you sound good
I Want To Believe (2x)
oh, sure people fucking buy it,
but nothing is standing up with time
and if you really want to say something,
were we ever really saying something?
The lyrics to Chain of Strength's song "Impact" contain a sense of disappointment and frustration with the world around them. They express how another year has gone by with no progress, and that it seems like nobody is even trying. They feel that there's nothing to be proud of and nothing that they can truly stand by. This is a common feeling for many people, especially those who are struggling to navigate the unpredictable waters of life.
The lines "it's time to believe, I've got some things to say" suggest that the singer wants to make a change, wants to be heard and wants to make a difference. They feel that they have some ideas that need to be spoken out loud, and they can't hold these thoughts forever. They want to see change, but nobody else seems to care or to feel the same way. They feel like they're the only ones who are trying to make a difference and that everyone else is just going along with the status quo.
The lines "oh, sure people fucking buy it, but nothing is standing up with time" express how the singer feels like nobody is actually saying anything of substance. People are just buying into words that sound good, but they're not actually standing the test of time. The final line "were we ever really saying something?" is a question that leaves the listener to ponder about the true meaning behind what is being said, and whether or not they are actually saying anything of substance.
