What to Believe
Chris Jaiden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say seeing believing
What if what you read and see isn't real anyhow
Instant Karma is relieving
That's what you get when your shoveling shit in the trough

Mind control
Sheeple are feeding on poisonous drama and doubt
Cast my soul
Out of reality far from the depths of the fold

I don't know what to believe
You've been burning like the flames of my past
I don't know what to believe
I've seen the cloak of the sky open wide

I don't know what to believe
You've been burning like the flames of my past
I don't know what to believe
You are the darkness of death in disguise

Convoluted and deceiving
They write the wrongs and you swallow their lies with a smile
Overtaken by the feeling
Behind the curtain your peaking your eyes looking wild

Mind control
Sheeple are feeding on poisonous drama and doubt
Cast my soul
Out of reality far from the depths of the fold

I don't know what to believe
You've been burning like the flames of my past
I don't know what to believe
I've seen the cloak of the sky open wide

I don't know what to believe
You've been burning like the flames of my past
I don't know what to believe
You are the darkness of death in disguise

I don't know what to believe
You've been burning like the flames of my past
I don't know what to believe
I've seen the cloak of the sky open wide

I don't know what to believe
You've been burning like the flames of my past




I don't know what to believe
You are the darkness of death in disguise

Overall Meaning

In the song "What to Believe" by Chris Jaiden, the artist explores the theme of confusion and mistrust towards the world around us. He doubts the authenticity of what he sees and reads, questioning whether it is real or not. The idea of instant karma being relieving implies that he believes people will ultimately get what they deserve if they are dishonest or deceitful. He uses strong and vivid imagery to portray the negative impact of mind control and how it leads to people being like sheep, blindly feeding on toxic negativity and doubt.


Jaiden expresses his desire to break free from this cycle and be cast out of this reality, far from the depths of the fold. The repetition of the line "I don't know what to believe" emphasizes his inner turmoil and confusion. Moreover, he compares the conflicting ideologies and beliefs that are forced upon us to the darkness that lurks beneath the surface of death in disguise.


Overall, the song highlights the overwhelming feeling of skepticism and uncertainty towards the world we live in, urging listeners to question what they see and hear rather than blindly accepting it.

Woke up this morning
Wipe my eyes, took a sip of my cup
Picked up the newspaper
Another story 'bout a girl that lost her way

Innocence gonna tell me
That there's nothing wrong
But there's no way to hide
What's inside when the devil is on the rise

Then I realize
That I can divide the skies
And everything will be alright
Alright

We gotta give it up
Don't let nothing bring you down
No worries no, no, no

Just gotta give it up
No doubt things gonna turn around
No worries no, no, no

Had an epiphany
Realized I've been losing my touch
She's got the best of me
Talking to myself as I just drift away

Ignorance gonna tell me
That there's nothing wrong
But there's no way to hide
What's inside when the devil is on the rise

Then I realize
That I can divide the skies
And everything will be alright
Alright

We gotta give it up
Don't let nothing bring you down
No worries no, no, no

Just gotta give it up
No doubt things gonna turn around
No worries no

Come on people now
We gotta let 'em know
Come on people now
Just let go

Come on people now
We gotta let 'em know
Come on people now
Just let go

We gotta give it up
Don't let nothing bring you down
No worries no, no, no

Just gotta give it up
No doubt things gonna turn around
No worries no

We gotta give it up
Don't let nothing bring you down
No worries no, no, no

Just gotta give it up
No doubt things gonna turn around, whoa
No worries no, no, no
