Believe in me by Bonnie Tyler lyrics reviewed

Now I want to state that the tune is infectious as I was kept thinking to myself throughout the day that I first heard the ridiculous song, but I shall visualise the lyrics and just criticise them where I think (believe) that they are a bit stupid, which is actually in quite a considerable proportion of the song (basically the whole thing).

You say you don’t believe in signs from up above

What signs are you talking about within this song, and from above what? As there are aircraft that can draw thins out in the sky which can be classed as signs and they are up above us down here on earth.

And you laugh at the thought of putting your faith in stuff like love

No I do not laugh at the thought of putting my faith in stuff like love, I just question people of faith and by the way did you mean god when you stated love as that is a common ploy which is used by Christians as god is love, apparently.
You never see the rainbow, you just curse the rain, you say

No I don’t curse the rain and it’s just there is rarely a rainbow after it has rained, from my personal perspective. And that is before this preposterous statement that I speak.
You wanna believe but it’s just not worth the pain today

What does wanna mean? Ok I remember now its slang talk for want to, you want to believe but why would anyone want to believe in the Christian god unless they haven’t read the Bible. As the god of the bible is unpleasant, jealous, unjust, capricious, cruel should I continue?

 But that’s all fine if that’s how you want it to be

it’s all fine that I don’t want to believe if that is how I want it to be? Personal desires should have no place in the truth of this universe’s creation.
But if you’re feeling alone and afraid and you can’t breathe

What is this feeling of loneliness that you sing of, as I cannot remember the last time that I felt that emotion and the same goes for fear, but I can imagine not being able to breath, it’s a pleasant thought really; me not wasting the O2 that other creatures could use to live.

Believe in me, yeah

Why? do you even want me to believe in you, to do what? Win Eurovision, yeah?

Chorus

Believe in me, yeah
Believe in you, No...

Believe in the way I look at you and stand beside you
How you have never looked at me and you have never stood beside me.

The way I speak the truth, I’d never lie to you
By what standard do you base those two assumptions that you did just state I’d class them as lies therefore you singing you’d never lie to me is fiction almost as much as the bible.

If you’d just believe in the things that your eyes can’t see
What like the majority of colours that are invisible to the eye of a human? but some other animals have eyes that can detect different frequency’s of light?

Believe in me

No, thank you,

You come and you go and there’s never no compromise, that’s why

There is never no compromise, which is a double negative which logically means that there is always some comprise.

The seconds and the minutes of your life go crawling by

I know is it not strange how as a child I experienced the feeling that time was almost standing still and at others time just seemed to zoom directly up on me and over take me; It was extra frustrating when the latter of the two happened to me in examinations.

But that’s all fine if that’s how you want it to be

But here was me obliviously naively thing that we had already gone through this once already.
But if you’re feeling alone and afraid and you can’t breathe

And this.

Chorus

What ya gonna do when your ship is sinking?
Should I take this to mean “what are you going to do”? Well I am guessing that I would most probably drown if I was on a ship and the ship that I was on sunk.

And you’re crying out for help and just the seagulls listening
Do you not listen I can’t cry out to any seagull as I’m mute and my only methods of communicating have probably already gone down with the ship.

In the dark of the night, in the middle of the fight
Wasn’t I just typing and you were just singing abort a ship not a aircraft?

When you’re reaching out for something and there’s nothing

But there’s always something, but you may not be able to comprehend it but it is still there

Chorus
