Disbelief Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Is it destiny or decline
This world gets insane
Murdered through that simple truth
This is what we do

Stretching limits until the end
Loaded hearts with loaded guns
Bring us sorrow and pain

The only chance is to be strong

Is this the world I'm living in
Try to see who you are
From the beginning
Til death do us part, do us part
Til death do us part

Is this the world I'm living in
Try to see who you are
From the beginning
Til death do us part, do us part

It's God given, it's God given
It's God given, God given

God give up, god give up
God give up
God give up, god give up
God give up

It's God given, it's God given
It's God given, God given

God give up, god give up
God give up
God give up, god give up
God give up
God give up

God give up
God give up

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Disbelief's song "It" tackle the challenging questions of whether our current state of the world is predestined or simply a result of our own decline. The opening lines suggest that the chaos and destruction in the world may be an inevitable part of our fate, but also imply that we are actively contributing to the problem. The reference to "murdered through that simple truth" suggests that perhaps the solution to our problems is a simple one, yet we are failing to recognize it.

The chorus emphasizes the importance of self-discovery and self-reflection. The line "try to see who you are" suggests that in order to change the world, we must first understand ourselves. The repetition of "til death do us part" may be an allusion to the idea that we are all connected and responsible for each other's well-being until the end of our days.

The song ends with the repeated phrase "God give up," which could be interpreted in a number of ways. It could be a plea for divine intervention, or an acknowledgement that we have failed to live up to our potential as a species. It could also be a resignation to the idea that our fate is out of our hands.
