Believer
Marina Allen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
She learned the hard way it's all foil and smoke
But she still gets a kick out of a dirty joke
I guess we all have a way of getting our soil soaked
ct night I wonder to a deep, silent sea
The pearl is awake and it's looking at me
What terror I have felt in this anonymity
Staring at the Mona Lisa Ursula
Don't you wanna drive around with me?
Listening to Hejira through a blown out freedom scheme
I'm not trying to recreate the wheel you see
I just wanna hitch your wagon onto me
That's the difference between magic and mystery
Somewhere between a vocation and making kitcheree
Somewhere between Lc and Joshua Tree
I'm in a cafe buying tinctures off Etsy
cll my tricks and charms and amulets
Thumbing through the paper for my lost rabbit
The infinite drip of a backyard well
Drop up a cylinder and out it fell
I can tell I can tell I can tell I can tell
I'm closing in it on it
What world is there besides this earthly cage?
What am I but organs disguised in grace and rage?
But the trees bare fruit so I'll be humble and graze
Glowing in the night, in the stillness, ablaze
Deeper and deeper and deeper
You might be lost but the song's it's own seeker
The notes have a finder, but not a keeper
The melody is hope and the hope's a believer
cnd the hope's a believer
The lyrics of Marina Allen's song "Believer" explore themes of hope, disillusionment, introspection, and the search for meaning in life. The opening verses describe the internal struggle of the singer's friend Sara, who has been hurt in the past and is hesitant to embrace hope again. Despite this, Sara still finds joy in humor and coping mechanisms, suggesting that everyone has their own way of dealing with hardship and pain.
The imagery of a deep, silent sea and a watchful pearl symbolize moments of contemplation and self-awareness. The singer reflects on the fear and isolation that can come with anonymity, hinting at a desire to find connection and purpose in life. These lines suggest a yearning to find meaning and make sense of existence, even in moments of uncertainty.
The reference to staring at the Mona Lisa and Ursula hints at a fascination with art and mystery, perhaps symbolizing the desire to unravel deeper truths and hidden meanings. The invitation to "drive around" and listen to music together implies a desire for companionship and shared experiences, seeking solace and freedom in the company of others.
The concluding verses delve into themes of magic, mystery, and self-discovery. The singer muses on the contrast between the mundane and the mystical, between everyday rituals and profound revelations. The repetition of "I can tell" underscores a sense of approaching clarity and understanding, hinting at a journey towards self-realization and enlightenment. The final lines emphasize the enduring power of hope and belief, suggesting that despite challenges and uncertainties, the melody of life continues to guide and inspire us.
