Take it slow, be at one with the wilderness and remember, when life gives you lemons, swap them for Strawberries. - Strawberry Guy
BELIEVING
Strawberry Guy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just know that I'm thinking and dreaming of you
I've tried to be myself
But I'm just feeling, missing you
We know this will end
And the Earth will mend
To be where we belong
I wish I had some sand
To put in an hourglass, to watch time go by
'Cause I feel I'm on my own
I've got to remember, how it will be
We know this will end
And the Earth will mend
To be where we belong
In Strawberry Guy's song Believing, the opening lines convey feelings of longing, separation, and missing someone special. The inability to be physically present with the person in question is a source of intense sadness, as indicated by the use of the word "missing" in the lyrics. The songwriter acknowledges his attempts to cope and be true to himself, but ultimately fails as he contemplates the possibility of existence without his partner. The use of the word "dreaming" reveals how the person is regularly occupying space in the artist's psyche, even when they are not physically together.
The second verse contains a plea rooted in the desire for a sense of predictability and stability. The longing for consistency is reflected by the wished-for item of a container to hold sand and measure time's passage. At this point, the singer is resigned to the inevitability of the relationship's end, which paradoxically offers a kind of comfort in its certainty. The song's hook repeats the idea that despite the pain involved, the earth will heal and they will find their place in the world.
Overall, the song is an ode to the fragility and resilience of human connections. Despite the difficulties faced by people in love, the songwriter offers hope that everything will work out in the end.
