I was listening to “Believe” by Skillet, which I thought was a pretty awesome song until I started paying attention to the lyrics. Turns out the content is quite amusing.

It starts out like this:

“I’m still trying to figure out how

to tell you I was wrong

I can’t fill the emptiness inside

since you’ve been gone”

Pretty good beginning. The singer made a mistake. Now he feels empty inside and wants to tell her he was wrong.

Next few lines:

“So is it you or is it me?

I know I said things that I didn’t mean

But you should’ve known me by now

You should’ve known me”

Translation: “is there any way I can blame it on you though? Maybe I don’t have to apologize after all. Maybe it’s all your fault.”

Chorus:

“If you believed

When I said

I’d be better off without you

Then you never really knew me at all

If you believed

When I said

That I wouldn’t be thinking about you

You thought you knew the

truth but you’re wrong”

Translation: it’s all your fault.
