Believe Me Never
Fastbacks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Judging by the look of things it's getting late and you've gone by that neighborhood before.
Prove it to yourself if you've got something to offer
See if you can welcome yourself home anymore
If you ever have then it's not worth mentioning
Believe me never, hate me forever
Believe me never, hate me the rest of your life
The lyrics to Fastbacks' song Believe Me Never seem to be about an individual who has lost touch with their creativity and sense of self. The opening lines suggest that the person is trying to come up with something new or original, but they are struggling to do so. The reference to "that neighborhood before" suggests that the person may be stuck in a rut, repeating past patterns of thought and behavior.
The lines "Prove it to yourself if you've got something to offer / See if you can welcome yourself home anymore" seem to be an invitation to the listener to examine their own life and see if they are living up to their potential. The final lines "If you ever have then it's not worth mentioning / Believe me never, hate me forever" suggest a sense of frustration and disappointment with oneself, as well as a fear of being rejected or judged by others.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of alienation and self-doubt, as well as a desire to break free from the constraints of one's own mind and surroundings. The repetitive nature of the chorus ("Believe me never, hate me forever") reinforces this sense of isolation and conflict.
