Can mean believing things will be OK, or events will somehow spare you, whatever the reason. Whether it's because of religious conviction, you've grown a lucky beard, had a happy dream the night before, etc. Even while being somewhat conscious of the irrationality of such beliefs they sometimes can be of help I feel. Also when music inspires / motivates you I feel like it stirs up a similar effects to a strong magical belief.
