Ten After Two delivered a melodic yet heavy sound, and were part of the 'golden era' of post-hardcore and metalcore. Many will say this period consists of the years approx around 2005-2012. Years where this scene of music was vibrant and the sound wasn't as chuggy and bland as the years to come.

Ten After Two Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know it's for our best interest,
But I don't know that I can make it on my own.
So take a flashlight and a compass
Cause I know you're gonna need them when you figure out your
I need to let go,
She's not coming home.
It's just passion with a newborn strife
(Believe me, believe me)
Cause even if it leaves me broken,
My heart will spare the love to spill
All over these constellations.
And starstuck patterns that made me feel so real
(Made me feel so real)
You made me feel so real
I need to let go,
She's not coming home.
It's only love, only love, it's not my life
It's just passion with a newborn strife
(Believe me, believe me)
Cause even if it leaves me broken,
My heart will spare the love to spill
All over these constellations.
And starstuck patterns that made me feel so real
(Made me feel so real)
It's only love, only love, it's not my life
It's just passion with a newborn strife
(Believe me, believe me)
Cause even if it leaves me broken,
My heart will spare the love to spill
All over these constellations.
And starstuck patterns that made me feel so
Made me feel so...
The lyrics of Ten After Two's song "Believe Me" depict the struggle of letting go and moving on from a relationship that has ended. The singer acknowledges that it is in their best interest to let go of their love interest, but deep down feels uncertain about being able to make it on their own. The use of the metaphorical flashlight and compass suggests that the singer is lost and in need of guidance. Ultimately, the singer admits that the love they once shared was powerful enough to leave a profound impact on them, even though it has caused emotional pain and heartbreak.
The chorus of the song reinforces the message that the love the singer experienced was intense, but it was not their entire life. Despite the heartache that comes with letting go, they choose to focus on the positive memories and feelings, which they metaphorically describe as constellations and starstuck patterns. The use of these celestial metaphors emphasizes the idea that love can be a transcendent force that has a profound impact on the human experience.

I need to let go, she's not coming home.
I have to accept that she's not coming back.
I know it's for our best interest,
I understand that it's better for us this way.
But I don't know that I can make it on my own.
But I'm not sure if I can survive without her.
So take a flashlight and a compass
Take these items because you'll need them to navigate through the darkness.
Cause I know you're gonna need them when you figure out your
Because I'm sure you'll need them while you find your own way.
It's only love, only love, it's not my life
My life doesn't depend solely on love.
It's just passion with a newborn strife
It's just intense emotion with new challenges to face.
(Believe me, believe me)
(Trust me, trust me)
Cause even if it leaves me broken,
Even if it hurts me deeply,
My heart will spare the love to spill
My heart will still have love to give.
All over these constellations.
Spread this love all over the universe.
And starstuck patterns that made me feel so real
And the heavenly bodies that gave me a sense of reality.
Made me feel so real
Made me feel so alive.
