I Believed
Sirima Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you want to be my lover
If you want to have children
And want me to be their mother
Follow me to the skies, follow me to the skies
Follow me to the skies, where nobody lies
If you want to share my life
If you want to know my joy
And a little bit of my sorrow
Follow me to the skies, follow me to the skies
Follow me to the skies, where nobody lies
Did you once believe in angels
And everybody talked to them
Did you once believe in Father Chrismas
At every Noel?
Did you once believe that dreams came true
To those who did no wrong?
I believe, I believe, I believed and it didn't do me any wrong!
The lyrics to Sirima's "I Believed" are an invitation to her partner to come with her on a journey through life. She lays out different scenarios, including wanting to have children and wanting to share joys and sorrows. The repeated phrase "follow me to the skies" is a metaphor for a journey beyond the tangible world, where "nobody lies." This could mean a journey to a higher plane of existence or simply a commitment to honesty in the relationship.
The last verse is a reflection on childhood beliefs and how they shape our perspectives on life. Sirima asks if her partner once believed in angels and Father Christmas, and whether they believed that good things came to those who did no wrong. She then affirms her own belief, saying "I believed and it didn't do me any wrong." This suggests that she values belief and innocence, even in the face of disappointment and disillusionment.
