"Beyond Belief" lyrics

"Beyond Belief"

I said it would never happen again…
But you held me up,
Like a stone in the palm of your hand.
But what if hell is cold, and heaven's closed?
(God only knows. God only knows.)
Is the fear of hurting you worth the burden of living my life alone?

Is it beyond belief that I could ever feel
There's so much more to it all?
Well, you've got infinity and you offer it to me,
But is your hell up above and your heaven below?
Below

I knew it should have never happened again…
But you hold me up
To the light and you force me to dance.
And what if your rainbow has no pot of gold?
(God only knows. God only knows.)
What if I wake up from this dream to see the sun has already set for me?

Is it beyond belief that I could ever feel
There's so much more to it all?
Well, you've got infinity and you offer it to me,
But is your hell up above and your heaven below?
Below

Sometimes the gods speak a language you will never understand,
And one day, I awoke, and there I was, in the palm of your hand.
I've only got one chance,
(I've only got one chance)
At permanence.
But I'm as good as dead,
Take my hand. Go ahead.
Your love's a warm gun, and a trip to the sun,
At the bottom of the sea - you're beyond belief.

Is it beyond belief that I could ever feel
There's so much more to it all?
Well, you've got infinity and you offer it to me,
But is your hell up above and your heaven...

Is it beyond belief that I could ever feel
There's so much more to it all?
Well, you've got infinity and you offer it to me,
But is your hell up above and your heaven below?
Below

This song was the first taste of Holding Absence's album "The Greatest Mistake Of My Life". Frontman Lucas Woodland commented on the matter, "We are ecstatic to finally unveil 'Beyond Belief' to the world! Just as jumping from black-and-white into color is a huge change for our band, we believe the transition into 'Beyond Belief', and subsequently 'The Greatest Mistake Of My Life', is similarly significant. 'Beyond Belief' sees our band embracing the 80s' indie-shoegaze era with both arms, while still gripping firmly onto all the sounds that have made us who we are up until now. A song about love, and the fear of permanence – this really is Holding Absence, like you've never heard us before."
The music video for this song, published on the 21st of October 2020, says in its description, "The fear of loving somebody for eternity can be scary when you don't truly know what their definition of 'forever' truly is. This song is about throwing aside that fear, in the name of love."
