Gotta Believe in Something
Emily Osment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Live without a doubt
All that we need is something
Alright turn it out
Live without a doubt
All that we need is something
I got my money in the trunk so lets ride
And who are you to say we're through
You know this back and forth is just what we do
I got my future in my sight tonight
I just sit back and enjoy the ride
I look my past straight, straight in the eyes
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Right now, live out loud
Try to believe in something
All right, turn it out
All that we need is something
Right now, live out loud
Gotta believe in something
All right, turn it out
All that we need is something
Right now, live out loud
Gotta believe in something
Alright turn it out
Live without a doubt
All that we need is something
You got your criminal side
I got my miscreant mind
Let's show the world
We just know how to get light
Won't take to all the wrong streets
This is my identity
I live the life of one
Who wants to be free
I got my future in my sight tonight
I just sit back and enjoy the ride
I look my past straight, straight in the eyes
Say goodbye, say goodbye
Right now, live out loud
Try to believe in something
All right, turn it out
All that we need is something
Right now, live out loud
Gotta believe in something
All right, turn it out
All that we need is something
Right now, live out loud
Gotta believe in something
All right, turn it out
All that we need is something
Right now, live out loud
Gotta believe in something
All right, turn it out
All that we need is something
Right now, live out loud
Gotta believe in something
All right, turn it out
All that we need is something
Right now, live out loud
Gotta believe in something
All right, turn it out
All that we need is something
Right now, live out loud
Gotta believe in something
All right, turn it out
All that we need is something
Right now, live out loud
Gotta believe in something
All right, turn it out
All that we need is something
Right now, live out loud
Gotta believe in something
The lyrics of Emily Osment's song, "Gotta Believe in Something," describe the struggle of finding something to believe in and holding on to it, no matter what others may say or do. The verses talk about the singer's confidence in herself, despite external pressures, and her determination to live life on her own terms. The chorus is a call to action, urging listeners to believe in something and turn their lives up to the fullest. The line "All that we need is something" suggests that finding purpose or meaning in life is essential to happiness and fulfillment.
In the first verse, the singer talks about having her "money in the trunk," which may be a metaphor for having her assets (both material and emotional) secured and ready to go. She also acknowledges that her life may not be perfect, but she's "feeling fine" regardless. In the second verse, she identifies with the "miscreant" identity and decides to stay true to herself despite societal expectations. The phrase "I live the life of one who wants to be free" encapsulates the theme of the song: the singer wants to live her life according to her own rules and without any restrictions.
The chorus is repeated several times, each time becoming more urgent and passionate. The call to action is clear: we must believe in something, and we must live our lives with conviction and fervor. The last line suggests that this is not just the singer's message, but also a universal truth: we all need something to believe in, something to give our lives meaning.
