Hope I Die
Yearning for Redemption: Embracing Life's Last Chance
Lyrics
As you go, I won't bleed forever
Expressing that the speaker won't suffer indefinitely as someone departs.
Over a time, the worlds will turn to leather
Suggesting that with time, experiences may toughen or become less emotionally affecting.
If I survive, I will reach for someone new
If the speaker survives the separation, they'll seek a new connection.
Hope I die
Repetition of the desire for death before facing a particular event or circumstance.
I hope I die
-Before I do
-Before I do
-All will be compared to this
Everything will be measured against this experience.
And all will pale, yes I'm convinced
Belief that all other experiences will seem inferior or insignificant.
If I survive, guess I'll find out if that's true
Contemplating the aftermath of surviving the challenging situation.
I hope I die
Repetition of the hope for death before facing the challenging situation.
I hope I die
-Before I do
-Before I do
-This is not a burn I want to chase
Expressing a desire to avoid a painful experience or relationship.
This should be the last thing that I taste
Describing the undesirability of pursuing a particular type of emotional pain.
I will love again I know I will
Despite the aversion to pain, acknowledging the potential for future love.
I will, but still
Emphasizing the resilience to love again despite the present difficulty.
I hope I die
Reiteration of the hope for death before confronting the undesired experience.
I hope I die
-Before I do
-Before I do
-I hope I die
Final repetition of the desire for death before facing the challenging situation.
Hope I die
-Before I do, oh
-
