Believer
Giant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got this sinking feeling
Despite how empty I feel inside
And although my world has ended
I'll somehow make it out alive
Oh I cant believe this is happening
But it was clear as day to see this coming
I watched it go on and on but never thought a thing
All the weight in the world couldn't keep me down

You can't stop a believer
Cause even when the worst of the worst has come for us
We won't go down tonight
Not without a fight

I've got this hopeful feeling
Despite how useless I feel inside
And although this has all ended
It's always on mind
So as you like to my face try your best not to stutter
I'm not burning a bridge I'm just building another
We're moving on, yeah we're moving on





Cause giving ups not moving on

Oh, go!

Girl, it's been awhile, you've lost your pretty smile, what happened?
Was it something that they said that's playing with your head, what happened?
When you're standing in the spotlight, woman, some people try an' take a shot
Well it's only jealousy, only jealousy, oh they can't see our love
But one thing you can be sure of

You know that I'm a believer, in you an' me
You know that I'm a believer, oh it's true
And no matter what you do, girl, I believe in you
I believe!

Oh it's never what you hear, it's only what you feel that matters
Left your brother stand alone, you kept climbing social ladders
When it comes down to basics, and we're lookin' at it one on one
It don't matter what they say, matter what they say
About us now, ah, can't hurt us now
But one thing you can be sure of

You know that I'm a believer, in you, I believe
You know that I'm a believer, oh it's true
And no matter what you do, girl, I believe

The only way to win child, is never play the game of love
But I'll be there to catch you even if you should ever fall
But one thing you can be sure of

You know that I'm a believer, in you, in me
You know that I'm a believer, girl it's true, and no matter what you do

You know I'm a believer, in you, in love
You know that I'm a believer, oh it's true
And no matter what you do, girl, I believe in you, oh in me, oh in love
You know that I'm a believer, oh it's true
And no matter what you do, girl, I believe

This should have millions of views. What a Masterpiece. Dann huff is a living legend 🎸🙏💙

Nitro_001 Newman

The song is incredible but the video is pretty bad. I don’t know what the video director was trying to do here. No one wants to see red ants, and the Inglewood Oil Field scenery.

speedracerjeff

Most underrated guitarist and singer ever. Dan Huff is so extremely talented. Loved Giant and his independent stuff.

Ashiqur Rohman

This band deserved so much more. What talent...What brilliant music...And Boy Dan has some guitar skills...i think Vito Bratta of White Lion and Dan Huff are probably two of the most underappreciated guitarists out there. Those two have guitar skills that is unworldly.

Dave Holmes

This song contains all of the ingredients that made rock music of the late 80's and early 90's so great. A rockin' groove, catchy hooks, big guitars, big drums and strong vocals with good lyrics. Loved it then and love it even more today. Thank you degutony and rock on!!!

Ray Trotta

Rock on! All the best.

B Anderson

Dave Holmes that's because Dan Huff is one of the greatest musicians on the planet and now he's also one of the greatest producers also, that absolutely loves every moment he get to jump into the studio with his guitar, he never was a fan of the stage, Giant was just a pet project that Dan had always wanted to do, but his heart belongs in the studio.

Great band guitars remind me of E.V.H. and the band overall just sounds great.

Scott Larson
