Believe Lyrics

Well I think this is about God. I have walked away from Christ before, and before to long, I already knew I did something wrong. Though I still tried to make it on my own. But the only thing that I find that wouldn't connect to this type of situation is when he says "I can't fill the emptiness inside since you've been gone" and also where he says "But I know there's something more to us than our mistakes" note he says Our mistakes. So in a way I think this may be talking about someone else but God.

I have read before that he has a bad relationship with his father. I don't know much about the band, I have listened to them for a few years now. But I never tried to find out more about them, I even saw them in concert at atf 2008. But from the two statements I mentioned above I believe this song is about someone other then God. Could it be his father? Or someone else?

Anyway it is a great song, and the cd is amazing. Keep up the good work skillet. God be with us.

Rock on! Great post... I interpret this song two ways, and one does have to do with God. We all have had our doubts but the truth of the matter is that nobody can make it on their own. Also, I think he could be singing to a girl, yes Skillet is a Christian band but they do also sing songs about love... much like Relient K. Great song. I love to play it on my accoustic, definitly a different arrangement, but the same powerful message. God lives, love lives, long live both.
