True Believer
Widowspeak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Are we one?
On this stir
While we gaze
Our way
You lock hypnotized
Why you lie
Night so long
Speak into arms
Hey steal stream
Once the heat
I feel on my arm,...asleep in our clothes
I feel like something altered
Wont you say up through who you were
Cant you be my real thing
Shotgun, that doesnt feel
Keep your feet off your dream
With this love
Why do we setem
But I wont run
Splint an end
Smallest eyes
Broken flyers
With our eyes
Tangled cheeks
Tangled hair
I thought youd be you
Hear the names
Trying it
Feels the same
Something mature
Wont you say up through who you were
Cant you be my real thing
Shotgun, that doesnt feel
Keep your feet off your dream
Wont you say up through who you were
Cant you be my real thing
Shotgun, that doesnt feel
Keep your feet off your dream
Wont you say up through who you were
Cant you be my real thing




Shotgun, that doesnt feel
Keep your feet off your dream

Overall Meaning

Widowspeak's song "True Believer" is a dreamy, introspective track that seems to focus on the fragility and instability of relationships. The opening lines "Are we one? On this stir" suggest a confusion or uncertainty between two people or within oneself. The following lines "While we gaze, our way" could be an indication of a shared experience or desire, however, this is quickly followed by "you lock hypnotized, why you lie" which suggests that the connection between the two individuals may not be as deep or honest as it appears.


As the song continues, there are numerous references to sleep or dreams, which could signify a desire to escape from reality or achieve a deeper understanding of oneself. The line "smallest eyes, broken flyers" conjures up images of a bird in a cage, trapped and unable to fly. The repeated phrase "Wont you say up through who you were, Cant you be my real thing, Shotgun that doesn't feel, Keep your feet off your dream" could represent a plea for honesty and genuine connection, with the desire to avoid the pain of a fleeting, illusory relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

Are we one?
Do we belong together?


On this stir
In this commotion


While we gaze
As we look into each other's eyes


Our way
The path we've chosen


You lock hypnotized
You're captivated


Why you lie
Why are you dishonest?


Night so long
The night feels endless


Speak into arms
Whisper in my embrace


Hey steal stream
Listen to the gentle flow of the water


Once the heat
When the passion


I feel on my arm,...asleep in our clothes
I still feel the warmth on my skin as we sleep in our clothes


I feel like something altered
I feel like something has changed


Wont you say up through who you were
Can't you reveal your true self?


Cant you be my real thing
Can't you be genuine with me?


Shotgun, that doesn't feel
Being together doesn't feel right


Keep your feet off your dream
Don't let your aspirations go to waste


With this love
Through our affection


Why do we setem
Why do we engage in games?


But I won't run
I won't give up on us


Splint an end
Bring an end to the division


Smallest eyes
The most insignificant details


Broken flyers
Torn pieces of paper


With our eyes
Through our gaze


Tangled cheeks
Our cheeks pressed together


Tangled hair
Our hair intertwined


I thought youd be you
I thought you would be authentic


Hear the names
Listen to what we call each other


Trying it
Attempting to make it work


Feels the same
It feels familiar


Something mature
Something grown up


Wont you say up through who you were
Why don't you show your true colors?


Cant you be my real thing
Can't we be honest with each other?


Shotgun, that doesn't feel
Our relationship feels forced


Keep your feet off your dream
Don't let our ambitions slip away


Wont you say up through who you were
Why can't you show your genuine self?


Cant you be my real thing
Can't we be true to ourselves and to each other?


Shotgun, that doesn't feel
Our partnership doesn't feel authentic


Keep your feet off your dream
Don't give up on our aspirations
