Believer
Sandaru Sathsara Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

First thing first, I′ma say all the word inside my head
I'm fried up and tired of the way that things have been, oh
Au-oo
The way that things have been, oh
Au-oo

Second thing′s second, don't you tell me what you think that I could be
I'm the one at the sail, I′m the master of my sea, oh

Au-oo
The master of my sea, oh
Au-oo

I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look at me, tooketh me, shooketh me, feeling me
Singing from heartache, from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...

Pain!
You make me a, you make a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up believer, believer
Pain!
Oh, let the bullet fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...

Pain!
ආනමාලු, කෝලිකුට්ටු, සීනි, සීනි

First thing first, I′ma say all the word inside my head
To start off, I must express all the thoughts and emotions bottled up inside me

Expressing my emotions through songs born out of heartbreak and suffering

I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh-ooh
The way that things have been, oh-ooh
Second things second
Don't you tell me what you think that I could be

[Pre-Chorus]
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look to me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the...

[Chorus]
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

[Verse 2]
Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh-ooh
Your spirit up above, oh-ooh

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I was choking in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and rained down
And rained down, like...

[Chorus]
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

[Bridge]
Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flame
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh-ooh
The blood in my veins, oh-ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and rained down
And rained down, like...

[Chorus]
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
