Hope That Kills
Hope's Deceptive Embrace: A Tale of Dreams and Disillusionment
Lyrics
Was it ever time to get away from
Questioning whether there was ever an opportune time to escape from a situation.
Something you could never have
Referring to something unattainable or forbidden.
No matter how hard it is your trying
Despite difficulties, emphasizing persistent effort.
No matter if you're worthy of
Suggesting that worthiness is irrelevant to the challenges faced.
Its always the hope that kills you
Highlighting the detrimental impact of hope, indicating it can be destructive.
Its always the hope you raise
Stressing the potential harm caused by raising one's hopes.
Did it ever even occur to you
Prompting reflection on whether a particular thought or realization occurred.
Did it ever register
Questioning whether a thought or realization was acknowledged or noticed.
I wonder if it ever had some meaning
Raising doubt about the meaningfulness of a situation or experience.
I Wonder if it even should
Pondering whether a situation should hold any significance.
Its always the dreams of others
Pointing out the recurring theme of aspiring towards the dreams of others.
Its always the fear of praise
Highlighting the fear associated with receiving praise.
Shadows for décor, pained as you are
Describing a somber atmosphere with shadows as decoration.
Let down, secluded, cut up to scar
Expressing feelings of disappointment, isolation, and emotional wounds.
I've seen all the flowers on the wall
Observing images on the wall as symbols of past experiences.
Memories in a frame
Memories preserved in a frame, possibly suggesting a sense of nostalgia.
Nothing quite like a trip in time
Reflecting on the lack of tangible benefits from revisiting the past.
Nothing there to be gained
Implying that revisiting the past doesn't lead to any valuable outcomes.
Been excused from feeling
Feeling exempt from emotional experiences.
My thoughts don't count for none
Indicating a perceived insignificance of one's thoughts.
Did you ever feel as low as they did
Asking if the listener has experienced deep emotional lows.
Did you ever worry to much
Questioning whether excessive worry has been a personal experience.
Is it ever like you'll even notice
Doubting whether certain actions or changes will be noticed.
Never what people say
Disregarding the importance of others' opinions.
Cos always, the best things happen
Stating that positive events often happen to others rather than oneself.
Always to other folk
Emphasizing a recurring pattern where favorable circumstances occur for others.
Shadows for décor, pained as you are
Reiterating a dark atmosphere with shadows as part of the decor.
Let down, secluded, cut up to scar
Reinforcing feelings of letdown, isolation, and emotional scars.
Dry throat in panic, cant speak so well
Describing physical symptoms of distress, like a dry throat during panic.
Let down, deluded, hole where you fell
Expressing a sense of betrayal or disillusionment, describing a fall into a metaphorical hole.
