Maybe I Believe Lyrics

Cover art for Maybe I Believe lyrics by Volbeat

The protagonist in the song has grown numb to all that life offers, and any attempts to bring happiness back into his life fails. They are brought to the idea of opening themselves back again to love of companionship, but are uncertain, as they're still in the process of figuring out their beliefs and finding their place in the world.

What this song is about is the search for meaning in life, mainly the idea of believing in life as love. The possibility of opening oneself up to the possibility of experiencing love brings hope, but also the fear of losing control that may follow. If the protagonist in this song puts all their belief in someone to love, they fear they may end up losing control of their life; They seek real freedom, and love may be more suffocating or restricting than it's worth.
