Seeing Is Believing
The Golden Dawn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Giving, taking, sleeping, waking
Moving nearer to the end
Then a new beginning ventures in
You go to work, you come back home
Still there's always somewhere else to go

Seeing is believing no, no, no
That was very, very long ago

Constant changing everyday
Always going the same way
Take a look around you and you'll know

Being free to love yourself
But knowing there is always someone else
To satisfy you, won't deny you

Seeing is believing no, no, no
That was very, very long ago

Constant changing everyday
Always going the same way
Take a look around you and you'll know

Being free to love yourself
But knowing there is always someone else
Everything you say is always heard





Seeing is believing no, no, no
That was very, very long ago

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Golden Dawn's song "Seeing Is Believing" delve into the themes of life, change, and human connection. The song speaks about the constant movement and evolution of life, and how even when one thing ends, a new beginning is always present. The idea of routine is also highlighted as the singer talks about going to work and coming back home, but always feeling like there is somewhere else to go. The lines "Being free to love yourself but knowing there is always someone else to satisfy you" suggest that while self-love is important, human connection and companionship is equally vital.


The repeated chorus "Seeing is believing no, no, no, that was very, very long ago" can be interpreted in multiple ways. On one hand, it could be a commentary on how seeing something with one's own eyes is no longer enough as people have become desensitized to what they see around them. On the other hand, it could also mean that the idea of "believing" in something or someone based on what is seen has been outdated for a long time. The song seems to suggest that human interaction and experience is required to truly understand and form beliefs.


Overall, "Seeing Is Believing" is a thought-provoking commentary on the complexities of life, relationships, and belief systems.

From Wikipedia

"The band released one album, titled Power Plant,[1] before breaking up soon after the album's release in 1968. The 1966 release of the album was withheld by International Artists, until after The 13th Floor Elevators' album Easter Everywhere was released, even though the Golden Dawn album, Power Plant was recorded nearly a year earlier. As a result, the Power Plant's reviews tagged it as a copy cat record, unworthy of positive consideration"
