Something to Believe In
Parachute Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wake up every morning looking for your answer
You're waiting for your sign
While Jeremiah's on his way to tell the people
But you watch him pass you by

You walk the streets at night still looking for your reason
But you don't wanna try
You swear the world has got you backed into a corner
But no one holds your hand to walk into a fight

You swear the light is gonna find you
But it can't find you when you're waiting all the time

You say, "keep my head from going down"
Just for a little, just for a little
Watch my feet float off the ground
Just for a little, just for a little
Love, if (love if)
You can (you can)
Hear this (hear this)
Sound
Oh, just give me (give me)
Something, something to believe in

You spend your days alone still hopin' for the truth, oh
But all you hear are lies
But no on else is gonna tell you what to do now
No one else is gonna help you hold the line

Sometimes it's hard to keep on living
But you're the one who's got to know just when it's right

You say, "keep my head from going down"
Just for a little, just for a little
Watch my feet float off the ground
Just for a little, just for a little
Love, if (love if)
You can (you can)
Hear this (hear this)
Sound
Oh, just give me (give me)
Something, something to believe in

Love, come take me now
Love, come take me
Love, come take me now
Love, come take me, take me now

Come take me, take me now
Come take me, take me now
Come take me, take me now
Come take me, take me now

You say, "keep my head from going down"
Just for a little, just for a little
Watch my feet float off the ground
Just for a little, just for a littleLove, if (love if)

Something to believe in
Love is gonna come and save me
Love is gonna save me

Overall Meaning

The song "Something to Believe In" by Parachute is a powerful ballad about finding hope and purpose in life. The lyrics speak to those who are struggling to find their way, who are searching for answers and a reason to keep going. The first verse sets the tone, as the singer wakes up each morning hoping to find his "answer," while watching Jeremiah "pass [him] by." The second verse speaks to feeling trapped, alone, and constantly searching for the truth in a world full of lies. The chorus then begs for something to believe in, for love to come and save the singer.


Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges that it's hard to keep going, but ultimately, he is the only one who knows when it's right. He begs for love to come and take him, to give him something to believe in. This theme of love as a savior is a common one in music, but Parachute does it in a way that still feels fresh and sincere. "Something to Believe In" is a moving anthem for anyone who has ever found themselves lost and in need of hope.

I don't get why this tune didn't break thru. Such a timeless uplifting melody that fans of any music can appreciate

@BIG SCRAPE TV. It seems to have some Rob Thomas solo work influence in it. Kind of reminds me of his song "Her Diamonds".

Heidi and Franny Sailing

Because it was not written in the 90s.
