Hopeless
Eternal Struggle: Karina Vismara's 'Hopeless' Unveiled
Lyrics
Sand under your feet is rusting
The sand beneath you is deteriorating or losing its stability.
Still, you stand there like it's nothing
Despite the deteriorating situation, you remain standing as if it doesn't affect you.
No warm breeze will dry your tear
No comforting wind will dry the tears you shed.
It's your third life by next Spring
It's implied that you've gone through difficult experiences multiple times (your third life) and might continue facing challenges by the next Spring.
Both feet firm holding your hopeless staring
You stand resolutely, gazing hopelessly at a situation or circumstance.
Count to three and start again
Encouragement to restart or begin anew after reaching a count of three, implying repeated attempts to start over.
And again, and again, and again, and again
Emphasizes the repetitive nature of restarting or trying again and again.
Thirty years of nonsense suffering
An expression of enduring three decades of meaningless suffering.
Left a mother begging for forgiveness
The suffering experienced has led to a mother pleading for forgiveness, likely due to the impact on her.
Will you dare to take the first step?
A challenge or question asking if you will take the initial step forward despite difficulties.
Say you'll teach your children better
Expresses the desire or hope that you'll impart better lessons or guidance to your offspring.
Both feet firm holding your hopeless staring
A recurrence of the encouragement to start anew after counting to three, but with a more fatalistic perspective ("die again").
Count to three and die again
Emphasizes the cyclic, repetitive nature of attempting to begin again, possibly with a sense of despair or futility.
And again, and again, and again, and again
