The Baseballs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad, that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
You're gonna be the lonely one (Whoahoa)
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
What am I supposed to do
Oh, I sit around and wait for you
Well, I can't do that
And there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need love to feel strong
'Cause I have time to think it through
And maybe i'm too good for you
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(No, no, no, no)
(Whoaho)
Well, I know that I get through this
(Ooh la la la)
'Cause I know that I am strong (Ooh la la la)
Well, I don't need you anymore (Ooh la la la)
Well, I don't need you anymore (Ooh la la la)
Well, I don't need you anymore (Ooh la la la)
Well, I don't need you anymore (Ooh la la la)
Need you anymore
Do you believe in life after love?
(Whoahoaha)
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
(Ba ba ba ba)
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
(Ooh la la la)
(Whoahoaho)
(Ooh la la la)
(No, no no, no, no)
(Ooh la la la)
The lyrics of The Baseballs' song "Believe" can be interpreted as a message of empowerment and moving on from a failed relationship. The singer expresses their frustration with someone who keeps pushing them aside and not allowing them to break through. It's evident that there has been no effective communication between the two, leading to sadness and the realization that the other person is the one who will end up lonely.
The repeated question, "Do you believe in life after love?" suggests that the singer is questioning the other person's ability to move on and find happiness again. The singer believes that they are strong enough to move forward and no longer need the other person. They refuse to sit around and wait, understanding the importance of time and self-love to heal.
The chorus expresses the singer's conviction that the other person is not strong enough to move on and find happiness without them. The repetitive "Ooh la la la" could be seen as a bold declaration of independence and a celebration of one's own strength and resilience.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of empowerment and determination to move on from a failed relationship and find happiness and strength within oneself.
Line by Line Meaning
No matter how hard I try
No matter how much effort I put in
You keep pushing me aside
You continuously reject or exclude me
And I can't break through
I cannot overcome the barriers between us
There's no talking to you
There's no effective communication with you
It's so sad, that you're leaving
It's unfortunate that you're choosing to depart
It takes time to believe it
It requires time to accept and comprehend it
But after all is said and done
When everything is concluded
You're gonna be the lonely one (Whoahoa)
You will end up feeling isolated and alone
Do you believe in life after love?
Do you have faith in a future without love?
I can feel something inside me say
I can sense an inner voice telling me
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
I genuinely doubt that you possess enough strength
What am I supposed to do
What actions am I expected to take
Oh, I sit around and wait for you
Oh, I waste time hoping for your presence
Well, I can't do that
Well, I am unable to continue doing so
And there's no turning back
And there's no possibility of reversing the situation
I need time to move on
I require time to progress and let go
I need love to feel strong
I need affection to experience strength
'Cause I have time to think it through
Because I have the opportunity to thoroughly contemplate
And maybe i'm too good for you
And perhaps I surpass your level
Well, I know that I get through this
Well, I am confident that I will overcome this
(Ooh la la la)
'Cause I know that I am strong (Ooh la la la)
Because I am aware of my own strength
Well, I don't need you anymore (Ooh la la la)
Well, I no longer depend on you
Need you anymore
Require your presence or support any longer
(Ba ba ba ba)
(Whoahoaho)
(No, no no, no, no)
