In You I Trust
Rupert Holmes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't trust the price of gasoline
And when you say I must
I simply say, oh, in you I trust
Seeing is believing you
When I see your eyes, I'm receiving you
And when my faith goes bust
In you I trust
In you I must
I do, I trust in you
When all is done, you are my one true blue
Everyone needs one sure thing
Someone
Someone who'll step in the ring
I don't trust the Sunday times
Or these dollar bills that turn into dimes
When paper turns to dust
I still will say, ooh, in you I trust
Politician's promises
Have made all of us doubting Thomas'
And as we all adjust our confidence
Still in you I trust
In you I trust
In you I must
I trust you more each day
You seem to mean exactly what you say
Friend and lover, lovely friend
Someone
Who I'll trust until the end
So it's true, I do believe
That you really have nothing up your sleeve
It feels so good to just love someone
I do, in you I trust
In you I trust
In you I must
I do, I trust in you
When all is done, you are my one true blue
Everyone needs one sure thing
Someone
Someone who'll step in the ring
And fight for you
The lyrics of Rupert Holmes's song, In You I Trust, portray a sense of disillusionment and skepticism towards various institutions in modern society. The singer expresses distrust towards magazines, gasoline prices, dollar bills, and politician's promises, as they have all disappointed him in some way. However, the one thing that he does trust in is his lover, whom he views as a constant source of support and comfort. Despite his previous experiences with broken faith, the singer finds solace in their relationship and believes in their love. He considers his lover to be his "one sure thing" and is willing to fight for them.
The chorus refrain, "In you I trust, in you I must," emphasizes the significance of trust in the relationship. The singer acknowledges that trust is essential for their relationship to work and expresses his confidence in his lover's sincerity. The phrase "true blue" further emphasizes the idea of reliability and trustworthiness.
The song's tone is soft and sentimental, and the lyrics are straightforward and uncomplicated. The focus is on the singer's affection for his lover and his trust in their relationship. The message of the song appears to be that, while it's okay to be wary of external factors, it's important to have faith in the people we love and trust them unconditionally.
