Hopeless
Embracing Despair: Marten James' Hopeless Journey Through Love
Lyrics
Baby called me, she said I was hopeless
The speaker received a call from their partner who labeled them as without hope.
I said girl, you just gotta hope less
The speaker advises the partner to reduce their expectations or aspirations.
She cried out, saying I'm soulless
The partner accuses the speaker of lacking a soul or depth.
Now I'm lying here in bed with a soul less
The speaker feels emotionally drained or devoid of emotions as a result of the situation.
Woah, Hopeless
Reiteration of the feeling of hopelessness.
Hopeless
-Truth is I ain't too high to feel lonely
The speaker admits to feeling lonely despite not being in an altered state (high).
Every time I think I see your silhouette in the doorway
The speaker repeatedly thinks they see their partner but it's a mere illusion.
I remember when it used to be something we wanted
Recollection of a past when the relationship held promise and desire.
But she took one last look and said it was hopeless, hopeless
The partner gave up and declared the relationship as beyond repair.
High above the endless sea
A metaphorical reference to being above an endless sea signifies a transcendent state.
We all come down eventually
Recognition that everything eventually comes to an end.
And even though we hated to leave
Despite reluctance, departure was necessary, knowing the pain would linger.
We knew the hearts would still be bleeding
Acknowledgment that leaving causes emotional pain.
High above the endless sea
Similar to line 11, repeating the imagery of being above the endless sea.
We all come down eventually
Reiteration that all things eventually conclude.
And all those times we hated to leave
Reiteration of the emotional distress caused by leaving.
We knew the hearts would be bleeding
-Oh
An expression of emotional weight and discomfort despite being in one's own home.
Weight of the world can stop you feeling so homely
Feeling uncomfortable or unsettled due to things communicated by the partner.
Especially after some of the things that you told me
The topic of conversation is too emotionally challenging to address directly.
And ohh this topic, too hard to undress
The only conclusion drawn is that the situation was without hope.
One thing you could say is, it was hopeless, hopeless
Repetition of the idea that the situation was hopeless.
High above the endless sea
Recurrence of the imagery of being above an endless sea.
We all come down eventually
Restating the inevitability of endings.
And even though we hated to leave
Despite reluctance, acceptance that departures bring ongoing pain.
We knew the hearts would still be bleeding
Reiteration of the emotional distress caused by leaving.
High above the endless sea
Recurrence of the imagery of being above an endless sea.
We all come down eventually
Reiteration that everything eventually comes to an end.
And even though we hated to leave
Despite reluctance, acknowledgment that departures bring ongoing pain.
We knew the hearts would still believe
Despite departures, belief in the enduring nature of emotions.
Ohh
A concluding expression, possibly signifying lingering emotional distress despite belief.
