Luke Christopher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stupid expressions we use just to make everything alright
Girl, I'm a dreamer, but I know when I found something real, baby
No hesitation, you're my inspiration
Got me feeling like I'm touching the sky
I'm a believer with you in my life
I'm a believer with you by my side
Damn, short dress with the red and white Nike's
I like girls with a shoe-game like me
That's if her fashion is right
You know I'm used to fucking with the passionate types
Back in the beginning, I was acting it like I wasn't sweatin'
Then I got a text in the night, I wasn't bettin'
Guess I should've handled it right
Real niggas never ask for advice
You fucking with a smooth type fellow - fade like Melo
If I tap the booty, do it shake like jello?
Got the hey like, "Hello"
All you other niggas getting played like cellos
We should switch it up
Dabble with some new shit, used to play the drums
I've been on my true shit, I've been saving up for you
Butterflies every time I hang up with you
Let 'em try that, never keep up with you
It's a deep kind of love and I've seen what it does
Soon as I feel down it bring me right back up
And my niggas can laugh but they ain't never had it
That's what you do
I'm a believer with you in my life
I'm a believer with you by my side
Making me believe in myself
When I start to get down on love, oh yeah
You always turn me up, ooh
I'm a believer with you in my life
I'm a believer with you by my side
Girl, we could team up
We'd be alright, yeah
I'm a believer with you in my life
Making me believe in myself
Making me believe in myself
Making me believe in myself
Making me believe in myself
The song "Believer" by Luke Christopher is a powerful love song that expresses the depth of love and belief in oneself that comes with being with the right person. The first few lines show frustration with the common expression "Grass is greener on the other side", which is often used to make ourselves believe that things will get better elsewhere. Luke Christopher rejects this idea and acknowledges the importance of recognizing when you've found something genuinely authentic and valuable, which provides him with inspiration and the feeling of touching the sky.
The second verse talks about his love interest's fashion sense and how it's a reflection of her personality. He describes his previous relationships with women who were passionate but doesn't think they were the right fit for him. He received a text from his current love interest, which made him realize that he wants to handle the relationship right. Luke Christopher's friends have never experienced what he's feeling, which is why he comes to the realization that he's a believer with her in his life. He expresses how his partner always brings him back up when he's feeling down and how she has the power to make him believe in himself.
Overall, the song emphasizes the importance of finding someone who not only makes us happy but also helps us believe in ourselves. It's about discovering that person who can light the fire within and inspire us to be better in every aspect of our lives.
