Believer
SYML Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Good love makes you hesitate
Rolling slow, go so slow
Melting like a long last drink
I wouldn't change one thing
Touch me like a lover
Speak to me like a friend
Hold me like no other
Embrace my brokenness
Don't preach to me, a believer in a choir
You're that hallelujah sweetness on my lips
Touch me like a lover (touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (touch me, touch me)
All my life, all my life
I've been chasing shiny things
Blind my face, blind my face
Save it from this suffering
Oh, can you blame my sin?
Touch me like a lover
Speak to me like a friend
Teach me like my father taught me how to live again
Hold me like no other
Embrace my brokenness
Don't preach to me, a believer in a choir
You're that hallelujah sweetness on my lips
Touch me like a lover (touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (touch me, touch me)
Ooh, touch me like a lover (touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (touch me, touch me)
Touch me like a lover (touch me, touch me, touch me)
In "Believer," SYML explores the complexities of love and spirituality. The lyrics suggest a longing for a deep connection and understanding with another person. The line "Hold the call, hold the call, Good love makes you hesitate" implies that genuine love can make one pause and think before fully committing. It suggests that the singer wants a love that is not rushed or superficial, but instead unfolds slowly like a long-lasting drink.
The verse continues with the sentiment of wanting to be touched, spoken to, and taught in a way that goes beyond mere surface-level interactions. The line "Teach me like my father taught me how to live again" suggests a desire for someone to guide them on a meaningful path, reminiscent of the guidance a father provides in shaping one's life. The repetition of "Touch me like a lover" emphasizes the yearning for an intimate and genuine connection.
The second verse suggests a history of chasing materialistic desires, as the singer describes a lifetime spent pursuing "shiny things." The line "Blind my face, blind my face, Save it from this suffering" suggests that these superficial pursuits have caused pain and suffering, possibly due to a lack of genuine connection and depth. The chorus then reaffirms the desire for someone to touch, speak, and hold the singer in a way that embraces their brokenness and provides comfort.
