Believers
The London Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We both know that you wanna love her
Skies are open crying, please don't believe her
'Cause she'll tell you lies and then say it doesn't matter
And you're pleased to see her calling them non-believers

But maybe she loves you and I'm just a preacher
Those burning skies and all who don't believe her
Non-believers, no

Don't believe her, no

All that we are, all that we need
They're different things
Oh, maybe what we are and what we need
They're different things

Do you realize again, you chased an idea
Healed an earth behind some broken creature

Maybe she loves you and I'm just a preacher
Non-believers crying don't believe her
Don't believe her, no
Don't believe her, no

All that we are, all that we need
They're different things
Oh, maybe what we are and what we need
They're different things

Give you my all and you're taking my everything

All that we are, all that we need
They're different things
Oh, maybe what we are and what we need
They're different things

All that we are, all that we need
They're different things
Oh, maybe what we are and what we need
They're different things

All that we are, that we need
All what we are, what we need

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The London's song Believers are open to interpretation, but it seems to be about a person who is warning another not to trust a girl because she has a tendency to lie. The lyrics suggest that the singer has experienced being burnt by this person before, and they are telling the other person not to make the same mistake. The line "Maybe she loves you and I'm just a preacher" suggests that the singer is not entirely sure that the girl is lying, and that there is a possibility that her feelings for the other person are genuine. However, the warning is still given because the singer believes that the girl has a track record of deceit.

The line "All that we are, all that we need, they're different things" seems to suggest that what people want and what they need are often different, and that it can be difficult to distinguish between the two. The singer may be suggesting that the other person is wanting something that they don't actually need, and that they should be careful not to chase something that isn't good for them.

Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of falling for someone who is not trustworthy.
