Believe In Me
Stigma ft. L Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the wishes I've withdrawn
Blessed me with nothing but the blame
For friendships lost and virtues gone
My loyalty and honesty
Held nothing but decay
Blessed me with nothing but the blame
Why don't you believe in me
Despite the battles we have won
Why still sacrifice myself
I have no strength to carry on
The invidia of those surrounding
Forges doubts in what I do
And breaks the chains that years have tied
After all that we've been through
Why don't you believe in me
Despite the battles we have won
Why still sacrifice myself
I have no strength to carry on
Why don't you believe in me
Despite the battles we have won
Why still sacrifice myself
I have no strength to carry on
In Stigma ft. L's song "Believe in Me," the lyrics describe the feeling of betrayal and loss after dedicating oneself to a cause and experiencing the negative consequences that come with it. The singer expresses their frustration with not being believed in by their peers, even after going through battles and facing challenges together. The disappointment is palpable as the singer seems to struggle with finding the strength to carry on.
The first stanza describes the singer's dedication for a cause and the sacrifices they've made for it. However, despite their best intentions, the singer has lost friendships and virtues in the process, and all they are left with is the blame. The second stanza delves into the feelings of decay and lost loyalty and honesty that have resulted from the cause the singer has been supporting. The singer feels disappointed that their efforts have not been recognized or appreciated by those around them, and they struggle to find the motivation to continue.
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics refer to "the invidia of those surrounding," suggesting that the singer feels unsupported and undermined by their peers. The accumulation of negative feelings ultimately results in the singer asking why they should continue to sacrifice themselves when they feel unsupported and unappreciated. The song's message is one of seeking validation and appreciation for one's efforts while acknowledging the struggles that come with fighting for a cause.
Line by Line Meaning
My dedication for the cause
My devotion towards this purpose or mission
And the wishes I've withdrawn
And the desires that I have given up
Blessed me with nothing but the blame
Resulted in me being blamed
For friendships lost and virtues gone
For losing friends and morality
My loyalty and honesty
My faithfulness and truthfulness
Held nothing but decay
Ended up being worthless
If we had lost our way
If we had gone astray from our path
The invidia of those surrounding
The envy of those around me
Forges doubts in what I do
Creates uncertainties in my actions
And breaks the chains that years have tied
Breaks the relationships that have lasted for years
After all that we've been through
Despite everything that we have experienced together
Why don't you believe in me
Why aren't you trusting me
Despite the battles we have won
Even after all the victories we have achieved
Why still sacrifice myself
Why am I still putting myself through this hardship
I have no strength to carry on
I don't have the power to continue further
