Believer
Hate Sphere Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And here's an axe to chop off your head
I give you a pill to cure your disease
And here's a gun to put you to peace, put you to peace
We chop each other half and half
And all the others start to laugh
But once in a while they seem to know
I am the one you love and crave
I am the one to open your grave
My love, your grave is all but one
Believe in me, or I'll be done
How can you walk without my feet
When I'm the one you know you need, the one you know you need
I am the one you love and crave
I am the one to open your grave
Right here, right now!
I am the one you love and crave
I am the one to open your grave
Half a laugh is better than none
They will be believe, or they'll be done
They will be done
The lyrics of Hate Sphere's song Believer are quite disturbing and present a sinister tone. The lines "I give you the teddy to put you in bed, And here's an axe to chop off your head" indicate a twisted sense of affection towards someone. It seems as though the singer is eerily offering comfort while simultaneously presenting violence. The lyrics continue to be contradictory with "I give you a pill to cure your disease, And here's a gun to put you to peace, put you to peace" which again suggests that the singer is willing to provide a solution to a problem but in a very disturbing way.
The following lines "We chop each other half and half, And all the others start to laugh, But once in a while they seem to know, That this could be their final blow, their final blow" paint a picture of a violent and dangerous situation, where the singer and the person they are addressing are harming each other. The lyrics also suggest that the people around them are entertained by this, but they are also aware of the dangers associated with such behavior.
The chorus of the song "I am the one you love and crave, I am the one to open your grave, My love, your grave is all but one, Believe in me, or I'll be done" highlights a sense of obsession and control. The singer wants to be loved and needed and seems to be manipulating the person they are addressing. The lyrics "How can you walk without my feet, When I'm the one you know you need, the one you know you need" further reinforce this idea of control and how the singer believes that they are essential to the other person. The last lines of the song "Half a laugh is better than none, They will be believe, or they'll be done, They will be done" suggest that there is a sense of coercion and manipulation at play.

I give you the teddy to put you in bed
I give you comfort to lull you into a false sense of security
And here's an axe to chop off your head
But really, I have the power to harm you deeply
I give you a pill to cure your disease
I offer you a cure to your problems, but at a cost
And here's a gun to put you to peace, put you to peace
I can also provide release from this life
We chop each other half and half
We harm each other equally in this vicious cycle
And all the others start to laugh
Those who aren't in it don't understand the gravity of the situation
But once in a while they seem to know
Occasionally the outsiders realize the severity of the situation
That this could be their final blow, their final blow
But they also understand the potential danger it poses to them
I am the one you love and crave
I am the source of your dependency
I am the one to open your grave
I possess the power to end your life
My love, your grave is all but one
I can either provide love or death, nothing in between
Believe in me, or I'll be done
If I lose control over you, I will lose myself
How can you walk without my feet
You have become so dependent on me that you can't function without me
When I'm the one you know you need, the one you know you need
You are willingly in this situation because you know you need me
Right here, right now!
I am in control of this situation
Half a laugh is better than none
Those in this cycle of dependency try to find humor in their situation
They will believe, or they'll be done
Either they will continue to believe in this toxic cycle, or they will face dire consequences
