Song Meaning
Skillet turns a simple call-and-response into a pledge of mutual loyalty on "Each Other." The opening lines trade belonging back and forth — "I am yours, you are mine" — before settling into the image of a friend who refuses to fade from view, followed by the pleading question of whether they'll stay. That question becomes the song's engine: the chorus repeats the twin commands to hold on to faith in one another and to let go of pain, framing belief as something exercised on behalf of another person rather than held privately. The second verse adds urgency with the reminder that time is short, then pivots from staying to standing, asking a friend to rise one more time. The bridge is the most disarming moment, granting permission to feel weak, to fall, to lose sight, before insisting that belief and standing happen together. The repetition at the end isn't filler so much as insistence — the band keeps saying the same thing because the point is that it has to be said again and again. It's a song about endurance within relationship, where faith is something two people carry for each other when one of them can't carry it alone.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I am yours, you are mine
Believe in you, friend of mine
You're not fading in my eyes
Could you stay? Could you stay? Hey, hey
We must hold on to our faith in each other
We must let go of our pain, yeah I say
We must hold on to our faith in each other
Got to still believe in each other
Time is short to live the life
Don't give up, friend of mine
Strength to rise one more time
Could you stand? Could you stand? Hey, hey
We must hold on to our faith in each other
We must let go of our pain, yeah I say
We must hold on to our faith in each other
Got to still believe in each other
It's okay to feel weak
It's okay to fall down
It's okay to lose sight
But we've gotta believe and stand together
We must hold on to our faith in each other
We must let go of our pain, yeah I say
We must hold on to our faith in each other
Got to still believe in each other
We must hold on to our faith in each other
We must let go of our pain, yeah I say
We must hold on to our faith in each other
Got to still believe in each other
