Believe Me

Cool song. This song is basically a break up song with a self destructive girl. I can relate, specially on Ryu and Mike's verses. Sweet song catchy hook.

this song is great!i think that it means the girlfriend cant stand the fact that they're breaking up but the boyfriend knows that it should happen."your on your own now believe me"

another possilble meaning is that there is a sign of carma.

The song actually reminded me of Linkin Park with Chester on the chorus.

That's beside the point. The song is about being in a relationship with someone that is so self-destructive that things need to end. You thought you knew who the other person was, and you thought you knew wo you were, but so much has gone on that the relationship can't go on anymore.

In Mike's verse he mentions feeling guilty and I think that the guilt comes from cutting the other person off. Not out of malice but because he needs to. Thus the lines in the chorus "But I, wont be there when you go down / Just so you know now / You're on your own now, believe me".

I like the part at the end:

I'm doing what I have to do You're on your own now believe me Whatever happens to you You're on your own now believe me What do I have to say? You're on your own now believe me Its not gonna happen to me You're on your own now believe me

In 8 lines he summed up the whole song. I have to leave you, and let you destroy yourself to save me.

yeah this song is awesome. Fort minor is really the only rap music that I listen to. lol.

So yeah it's a bad realtionship, and a worse breakup. I think the girl cheated on him and he took her back but she did again and he pretty much told her to go fuck herself. He's moving on and there's nothing she can do about it, she's not gunna control him anymore. And he can tell just by the type of person she is that she's only gonna go down, but he's not gunna let this bad realtionship bring him down.

"I used to have alittle bit of a plan, used to have a concept of where I stand, but that concept slipped right outta my hand. and now I don't really even know who I am." He had put so much into this relationship and it's all gone, she was everything to him, and now that she's gone he doesn't know what to do.

"Yo, what do I have to say? Maybe I should do what I have to do to break free, and Whatever happens to you, we'll see But its not gonna happen with me"

He's made up his mind and he's not going down like she is. he's moving on.

I love the chorus.

"I guess that this is where we've come to." The end of their relationship, the breakup.

"If you don't want to, then you don't have to believe me." she's in denial and probubly thinks he's gunna come back to her or take her back. But he's telling her it's not gunna happen.

"But I, wont be there when you go down." He's not gunna be there when she realizes she's nothign without him, cuz he was the best thing that happend to her. What they had was really good but she through it away.

"Just so you know now You're on your own now, believe me" He's telling her she better wake up cuz he's not gunna hold her up, or let her use him anymore.

"Now i'm thinkin' like the mistake that I made doesn't hurt But it's not gonna work cause its Really much worse than I thought I wished you were something you were not And now this guilt is really all that I've got"

I love this line. The mistake he made was taking her back and he has guilt over it because he knew it was a bad decision when he did it and it only made things worse. He's pretending it didn't do anythign to him but it did, cuz the problem is still there

A correction:

The rain every damn day is the same shade of grey.

I'm pretty sure that's what the song meant.

Anyhoo, I pretty much agree. Having gone through a pretty tough breakup recently, this song empowered me.

I love the line "on the right track, but I was on the wrong train". Kinda the "so close, yet so far" feeling.

hey doesnt this song sound like a boy band song. like the chorus sounds really cheesy because they layered the voices. oh well.
