To Believe
The Cinematic Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn around wake a little
Howlin′, save the little girl
That you found, you found, you found

And when it all aligns
Silent, what you're reading from
And when our worlds collide
Eyes remember every light

Are you able? Find your ground
Other people fallin′ down
Tell the world that saw you head for Hell
I can be your somethin' you believe in

You are here, makin' a shadow
Stay in the middle ground
You found, you found, you found

Silent as a hollow sound, you′re
Silently callin′ out for
Something you can't deny you feel inside your hands

Are you able? Find your ground
Other people fallin′ down
Tell the world that saw you head for Hell
I can be your somethin' you believe in

Somethin′ you can believe
Somethin' you can believe
Somethin′ you can believe
Somethin' you can believe
Oh, you can believe
You can believe
You can believe
Believe

I Just realized...
Carl: Dad... It’s Not Too Late!
John Dorie: It’s Not Too Late!
Rick and John Had More of the Same Fate But John Actually Died With No Salvation and Rick Was Salvaged They Completely Fucked That Up But John Glover has To Be Either The Main Villain or The Right Hand of Said Villain!
JG Villain Version
John Glover Villain: This... Is God! You See Alycia... I Really Am Going to End This... Put The Guns To The Backs of Their Heads Make Four of Them Die Quickly I Will Kill Two So Slowly... OH SO SLOOOWWWLLLY Let’s Out A Creepy Cackle That Sends a Shiver Through Our Villain Previously Established
Dakota: PLEASE DON’T!!!
John Glover Villain: Really?! Oh I Am NOT THAT BAD! But you know when I hire a ranger the ideal aspect of that Ranger is they stay alive... Unfortunately you fucked that ALL UP! I don’t like you Dakota, I never did just why the hell else would I have chosen to kill your dumb stupid idiotic parents? Well I could make you count the seconds it takes me to bash you into absolute nothing... Good Luck Little One, Say Goodbye to Your Sister She Was a Good Leader You Could Have Been Too... Pulls A Cane and Beats Her More Violently Than Negan Did Abraham and We Get More Joy Out of Seeing That Than Negan Getting Sliced Oh Now Nevermind on Those Other Fools, I Want to Do The Next Two Point Hand to Chest M’Self! Evening Strand Enjoyable though it has been this was going to end at some point, however why not leave you and... Salazar you did good Slow Mo Starts We Hear This song AGAIN as We See Him Pull A Gun Shooting Salazar Twice And Then Putting The Gun To His Head And Pulling the Trigger FOUR TIMES And Strand Let’s Out a Loud Yell Of No’ing Disapproval
Strand: In Shock Laced Tears WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!!
John Glover: Well has anyone really thought on this at all see we at the CRM who you probably wouldn’t believe are the ones responsible for your pretty little friends corpse over there we don’t need a plan all we need is for you to listen... ALYCIA... So I am going to make my only planned decision because I see all of you are quivering with... Antici...Pation We See a Sort of Semi Countdown Similar to But Not Exactly The Same As Negan’s And It Lands On... Oh My God... It Lands On Althea and Her Former Love Runs Trying to Stop Him and He Pushes Her Out Of The Way I Told You, She Told You and Now... I Have No More Warning’s The Music Pumps Up As We See Less But More of Al’s Final Moments Until The Scene Ends On The Body and He Throws His Hand Including The One Holding the Can In The Air Everyone Is In Tears All Hearts Break Althea Dies and It’s Too Late...
That builds More Character For John Glover than Dakota was ever capable of.
But if It is Not John Glover It Still Won’t Be Virginia... It Will Be Madison! Plus Him Killing Althea Will Leave All the Emotional Feelings I Need to See This Arc Continue In Season Seven and Basically Give Us John Glover as a Sort of Ultra Negan!
And the Series Will End With Madison Coming to Kill John Glover and Blowing His Head Off... After Which We Get a Sort of In Memorium For Everyone That Died In the Series and Rick Also Gets A Moment With Michonne, Daryl and Carol and We End On a Partnership And An Agreement to Finish the CRM because John Glover ISN’T THE CRM The CRM... Is EVERYWHERE ON THE SHOW And We Hear Of It From Rick!

Tell when it breaks all
Howling
Same little girl
You felt you found your fun
And when it all aligns
Silent watchers are in front
And when our worlds collide
Eyes remember every light.
Are you able find your ground
Other people
Falling down
Tell the world then
Sign your head for hell
I can be your someone
You believe in.
You're here making me shadows
Stay in the middle ground
You found
You found
You found
Silent as a hollow sound
You're silently calling out for
Something you can't deny
You feel inside your hands
Are you able find your ground
Other people
Falling down
Tell the world then
Sign your head for hell
I can be your someone
You believe in
Something you can believe
Something you can believe
Something you can believe
Something you can believe
You can believe
You can believe
You can believe
Believe

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Tell when
When it brakes all
Howling
Same little girl
You felt you found your fun
And when it all aligns
Silent watchers are in front
And when our worlds collide
Eyes remember every light

[Chorus]
Are you able find your ground
Other people
Falling down
Tell the world then
Sign your head for hell
I can be your something
You believe in

[Verse 2]
You're here making me shadows
Stay in the middle ground
You found
You found
You found
Silent as a hollow sound
You're silently calling out for
Something you can't deny
You feel inside your hands

[Chorus]
Are you able find your ground
Other people
Falling down
Tell the world then
Sign your head for hell
I can be your someone
You belive in

Something you can believe
Something you can believe
Something you can believe
Something you can believe

You can believe
You can believe
You can believe
Believe
Believe

That episode of Fear TWD broke my heart.

@lianak6540

This strange and rare song makes me hover in space and then float on the bottom of the sea, light as a feather , as a wandering soul....
The voice , so atmospheric...The vocals gradually build to an unbelievable climax. ...redeemer ...
