I Still Believe

Narnia's song 'I Still Believe' delves into the profound themes of faith, doubt, and the search for meaning in a tumultuous world. The lyrics paint a picture of a restless soul, awakened by a deep hunger for understanding and direction. The opening lines, 'A hunger deep inside wakes me up at night / Where are we going / We’re far away from home,' set the stage for a journey of introspection and spiritual seeking. This sense of being lost and far from home is a powerful metaphor for the existential crises that many people face, questioning their purpose and the path they are on.

The song continues to explore the idea of being led astray, 'Like a blind leading a blind / We sail away from all responsibilities / Far away from home.' This imagery suggests a collective drift away from moral and spiritual anchors, highlighting the dangers of losing sight of one's core values. The act of 'tearing it down stone by stone' and 'raising an altar of pride' symbolizes the human tendency to dismantle established beliefs and replace them with self-centered pursuits, leaving behind the worries and responsibilities that once grounded them.

Despite the chaos and confusion, the chorus of the song reaffirms a steadfast belief in a higher power: 'I still believe in the Maker / One by one, we all must bow down / I still believe in the Father, the Son and the Fire / Burning on, I still believe.' This declaration of faith amidst the storm serves as a beacon of hope and resilience. The song's conclusion, with lines like 'Turning the tide / Following the winds of change / Denying everything we know,' and 'Your silence is deafening to my ears / Did I ever know you?' reflects the struggle between embracing change and holding onto familiar truths. Ultimately, 'I Still Believe' is a powerful testament to the enduring strength of faith in the face of uncertainty and doubt.
