Clinging To A Hope
Clinging to Hope Amidst a Fading World
Lyrics
Oh why oh why
Expressing a sense of confusion or frustration.
Am I clinging to a hope
Questioning the act of holding onto a hope.
Well I sat in disbelief
Feeling disbelief about something significant.
As all I once believed
Noticing a shift in beliefs that were once considered good.
Was good in this land of mine
Reflecting on the deterioration of the speaker's homeland.
Was fading out of sight
Observing the positive aspects fading away.
All to the far right
Mentioning a political stance or direction ("far right").
All seem content with living blind
Noting contentment with ignorance among some individuals.
Oh why oh why
Repeating the question about clinging to hope.
Am I clinging to a hope
Continuing to express uncertainty about holding onto hope.
Oh why oh why
Repeating the questioning of why hope is clung to.
Am I clinging to a hope
Reiterating the confusion and questioning of hope.
Well the news is full of sound bites
Criticizing the media for providing simplified information.
For the simple mind
Suggesting that the media targets those with simple minds.
While the others are losing their will
Describing people losing their determination or resolve.
Some to fear, some to fatigue
Identifying different reactions to challenges (fear and fatigue).
We're like lambs laying down for the kill
Comparing people to lambs vulnerable to harm.
Oh why oh why
Repeating the inquiry about holding onto hope.
Am I clinging to a hope
Reiterating the uncertainty about clinging to hope.
Oh why oh why
Continuing the questioning of why hope is clung to.
Am I clinging to a hope
Expressing ongoing confusion and doubt about hope.
Oh the rich will be fine
Anticipating the well-being of the wealthy during a crisis.
When it comes the time
Expecting a time when everything falls apart.
That its all tumbling down
Commenting on the state of decline and collapse.
The enemies of hope
Labeling those opposed to hope as enemies.
They've got us on the ropes
Indicating a precarious situation with little chance of success.
And their leaving nothing but doubt
Leaving a trail of doubt and uncertainty.
Their sitting on their hands
Noting inaction or passivity of certain individuals.
While we're going down the pan
Describing a situation deteriorating rapidly.
Their watching the clocks run out
Emphasizing the limited time available.
While we're all getting poorer
Referring to a collective decrease in wealth.
Walking through the door
Symbolizing a point of no return.
That says this is the only way out
Highlighting a perceived solution as the only way out.
Oh why
Repeating the questioning of why.
Oh why oh why
Reiterating the uncertainty about clinging to hope.
Am I clinging to a hope
Continuing the questioning of holding onto hope.
For another vote in my time
Possibly expressing a desire for another chance or change.
Oh why oh why
Repeating the questioning of holding onto hope for change.
Am I clinging to a hope
Continuing to express uncertainty about clinging to hope for change.
For another vote in my time
Reiterating the desire for another chance or change.
Oh why oh why
Repeating the questioning of why hope is clung to.
Am I clinging to a hope
Continuing to express uncertainty about holding onto hope.
