Courtney Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I think that I am beginning to be something
And I wish that I could change and forget
Cause you may not like the reason for it
Don't lay down, weighed down
It′s all for something
Than I still believe in you, yeah
If believing isn't seeing
Than I still believe in you, yeah
One stop before I start coming for you
Riding this train is all I ever learned to do, hey
You see the open book my heart
And you′re further from out of my head than we are apart
Don′t lay down, weighed down
It's all for something
Cause if believing isn′t seeing
Than I still believe in you, yeah
If believing isn't seeing
Than I still believe in you, yeah
Well I′ve been a long time coming for you
And I'm still alive and I know that I′ll pull through
If I am breathing my heart is beating too
And I'm still alive and I know I'll get to you, hey, yeah, yeah
So don′t lay down, weighed down, lay down
It′s all for something
Cause if believing isn't seeing
Than I still believe in you, yeah
If believing isn′t seeing
Than I still believe in you, yeah
If believing isn't seeing
Than I still believe in you, yeah
If believing isn′t seeing
Than I still believe in you, yeah
Yeah, I still believe in you
Yeah, I still believe in you
I still believe in you
The lyrics of Courtney Jones's song All For Something talk about the singer's journey towards self-discovery, growth, and overcoming struggles. The opening lines show how the singer has grown and changed, acknowledging that it took a long time for her to become what she is now. She wishes to forget her past and move on, but she is afraid that people may not like the reason behind her transformation. The lyrics suggest that the change has been a personal one, driven by the singer's inner will, rather than external motivations.
The chorus emphasizes the power of belief and faith in oneself. The singer says "if believing isn't seeing, then I still believe in you," implying that one can believe in something or someone even without explicitly seeing proof of it. This highlights the importance of trust, perseverance, and self-confidence when striving towards a goal, even in the face of setbacks, doubts, or uncertainties.
The second verse talks about the singer's determination to pursue her dreams despite obstacles. She compares herself to a train, implying that she is constantly moving forward, and that stopping is not an option. She refers to her heart as an open book, suggesting that she is honest and transparent about her feelings, and that she holds a strong emotional connection to the person she is addressing. The song ends on a note of hope, with the singer reaffirming her belief in the person she is singing to.
