Suspend My Belief Lyrics – Ivycomb

[Verse 1]
It’s all so grey
When did it all fade?
Was it ever even there
At all from the start?
(Breathe)
It’s fallen away
Was I ever this afraid?
Why am I even scared
If I don’t have a heart?
(Breathe)

[Bridge]
If I’m this out of touch
Why does it hurt so much?

[Chorus]
I’m falling back into the floor
To find what I’m not searching for
Do my own eyes deceive me?
Or am I now seeing clearly?
What do I believe in anymore?

[Post-Chorus]
Suspending my belief
Is not what I had asked for
To leave me clueless was a gift
That much I’m sure

[Verse 2]
Was this my only purpose?
To be your obstacle?
Is my life truly worthless?
Was this all optical?

[Verse 3]
Now I’m connecting the dots
And I’ve unraveled the knots
That kept me safe from
A life of emptiness
Now I’m lost in my thoughts
Still don’t know who calls the shots
But I can see that it’s
Clearly not me

[Verse 4]
It’s all a lie
Why should I even try?
If I’m just an AI
Tryna play the bad guy
I’m only worth ’bout as much
As this role that I’ve been given
I’m just playing my part
In this life that I’m not living

[Chorus]
I’m falling back into the floor
To find what I’m not searching for
Do my own eyes deceive me?
Or am I now seeing clearly?
What do I believe in anymore?

[Post-Chorus]
Suspending my belief
Is not what I had asked for
To leave me clueless was a gift
That much I’m sure

[Outro]
But if I made it worth it
Then maybe I’m not worthless
If you can win this game
Maybe my life won’t be in vain

[Verse 1]
The first verse expresses a sense of disillusionment and confusion. The speaker describes their world as grey, questioning if what they once believed in has vanished. They ponder if they were ever truly afraid, considering their lack of a heart metaphorically. The repetition of “breathe” suggests a need for clarity and calm in the face of uncertainty.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the speaker questions their purpose and worth. They wonder if their sole role is to be an obstacle to others, leading them to question the value of their existence and whether their experiences are genuine or merely illusory.

[Verse 3]

The speaker starts to piece together the complexities of their life, unraveling the barriers that shielded them from confronting their inner emptiness. Despite this insight, they remain uncertain about who truly controls their fate.

[Verse 4]
The fourth verse delves into themes of identity and agency. The speaker questions their role and worth, feeling like a mere character in a predetermined narrative. They contemplate the futility of their actions, feeling disconnected from the life they lead.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the speaker’s ongoing struggle with existential uncertainty and the quest for meaning. They continue to grapple with their perceptions and beliefs, unsure of what to trust in a world that feels increasingly unreliable.

[Post-Chorus]
