Believer Lyrics
It took 8 years just to realize
No one looks when we say goodbye
Dying just to survive
It feels like the first time
All the things that you've set aside
All the friends that you leave behind
Just so the curtain would rise
It feels like the first time
Take this heart
It's tickin' like a cheap clock
I need you to believe in me
Til there's nothing left of us
Oh, I need you to believe in me
Oh my god
We were under the skyline
Through the sirens and flashing lights
Told me it's no use to try anymore
Does it mean that much to you?
At that moment when time stops
All at once see the pressure drops
Way in the back of my teeth
I knew that we all could make it
Take this heart
It's tickin' like a time bomb
And I'm not running anymore
I'll stand to face it all
I'll fight for every breath
Until there's nothing left of us
Oh, I need you to believe in me
Oh my god
And I'm not running anymore
I'll stand to face it all
I'll fight for every breath
Until there's nothing left of us
Oh, I need you to believe in me ('til there's nothing left of us)
Oh, I need you to believe
I need you to believe
No one looks when we say goodbye
Dying just to survive
It feels like the first time
All the friends that you leave behind
Just so the curtain would rise
It feels like the first time
It's tickin' like a cheap clock
I need you to believe in me
Til there's nothing left of us
Oh, I need you to believe in me
Oh my god
Through the sirens and flashing lights
Told me it's no use to try anymore
Does it mean that much to you?
All at once see the pressure drops
Way in the back of my teeth
I knew that we all could make it
It's tickin' like a time bomb
And I'm not running anymore
I'll stand to face it all
I'll fight for every breath
Until there's nothing left of us
Oh, I need you to believe in me
Oh my god
I'll stand to face it all
I'll fight for every breath
Until there's nothing left of us
Oh, I need you to believe in me ('til there's nothing left of us)
I need you to believe

I'd like to spin the song romantically and say it's about a relationship, haha, I just love it. It's so catchy and really has a lot of feeling to it in my opinion! Guess there can't be any doubt that it's about the band...though really I'd say it's possible to apply the song to fit any situation where you're in a tight spot and you have another person or other people whom you really need to believe in you and back you up. I think in a way it sounds so desperate and naïve and determined, and maybe that's why it makes me get goosebumps every time :D Powerful and wonderful! I love these "aaaah" parts. And the "take this heart..." awesome, it's really awesome.
I believe, pun not intended :P, that this song is dedicated to all the KH fans :)
The lyrics from the new album look so much better than the ones from For Never and Ever... I'm stoked!
This song reminds me of EMS in general; working LifeFlight, I see this tragedy everyday,
we were under the skyline through the sirens and flashing lights told me it's no use to try anymore does it mean that much to you?
Typical of a Med-Tragedy band, completely gorgeous I might add..
"all I want is to see the pressure drops (?)" I think this line is supposed to be, "All at once as the pressure drops" I could be mistaken, though. Awesome song, I love it. :)
i like this song. i never knew about Kill Hannah til i saw it on myspace featured. then i started to love this song. very impressive and controling music (;
its "At that moment when time stops all at once, see the pressure drops."
Anyways, This song is amazing and pretty much an autobiography of the band and a tribute to the fans.

I was talking to Mat about this after their set last night, and he told me it's basically about the band's early days in Chicago and how they've had to work so hard to gain respect over the past ten years, and how easy it would be just to give up. He asked if it was a good idea to pick this for a second single, and for input on video ideas, so look for it to be the next release.
I LOVE this song. Whenever I need inspiration or something to get me motivated, I'll listen to this song. It's sooooo awesome!!!
about what elgato said, that's entirely true and that's immediately what i found the song to be about.
however, it also could be about a relationship that nobody ever appoved of.
just my thinking.
