Song Meaning of “Misplaced Faith” by F.U.B.A.R.
“Misplaced Faith” is a song about the dangers of blind faith and how it can lead to disappointment and disillusionment. The song is an admonishment to those who place their belief and trust in something that doesn’t truly exist. It warns against choosing to put ones trust in something that is not as dependable or reliable as it seems.
The song begins by cautioning against believing too deeply in an illusory figure or ideal, and reminding the listener that loyalty should only be placed in those who prove themselves worthy of that trust: “Don’t trust in something that’s not there, don’t go too deep in that illusion of a care / No one should put their faith in something that’s not real, loyalty only goes to the ones that you can feel”.
The chorus of the song focuses more on the idea that misplaced faith can lead to inevitable disappointment and despair: “Misplaced faith, looks so real, until you see the burning hell / Misplaced faith, oh so strong, until it all goes wrong”.
The song continues to urge the listener to take their faith out of the realm of the unknown and invest it in something that is tangible and proven: “Put faith in something that you know, something you can really touch and show / Put faith in something that’s tried and true, not speculation, won’t let you down and be untrue”.
Finally, the song ends with a reminder that faith is something that should be guarded and treasured, and should be placed only in that which can be trusted: “Hold onto your faith and don’t let go, I know it’s hard but that’s how it goes / Protect your faith and do it right, with no misplaced faith you stand and fight”.
