A Kind of Hope
A Ray of Hope in the Dark: Unveiling the Meaning of 'A Kind of Hope'
Lyrics
And I dreamed a garden full of light
Dreamt of a garden filled with brightness and positivity.
Just you and a man in white
In this dream, it was you and a person dressed in white.
And he tears the apples from your eyes
The person in white removes obstacles (symbolized by apples) from your vision.
Just to navigate your rise
To help guide your ascent or progress.
Waiting for the moment
Awaiting a specific moment.
When the night becomes kind
Anticipating a time when darkness or difficulties become gentler or more bearable.
There's a shadow creeping through here
A sense of impending darkness or negativity encroaching.
Will it reach your heart and mind?
Questioning if this negativity will affect your emotions and thoughts.
Standing in the corner
Being in a position of observation or contemplation.
Too tired to sense defeat
Feeling too exhausted to recognize or acknowledge defeat.
And you long to take this with you
You wish to carry something meaningful with you.
But they yearn to be set free
However, there's a desire for freedom from these attachments.
I've wasted words of love and faith
Expressing regret for not expressing love and faith effectively.
True meaning came too late
The true significance was understood too late.
And now they're just whispers in the dark
Now, they're merely faint expressions in challenging times.
Just scars upon your heart, they're just scars
These experiences have left marks on your emotional state.
Waiting for the moment
Similar to line 6, anticipating a more favorable moment.
When the night becomes kind
Reiterating the hope for a kinder phase during dark times.
There's a shadow creeping through here
Continued worry about negativity encroaching.
Will it reach your heart and mind?
Questioning if this negativity will impact your emotions and thoughts again.
Standing in the corner
Repeating the feeling of being in an observing or contemplative state.
Too tired to sense defeat
Experiencing extreme fatigue and possibly ignoring defeat.
And you long to take this with you
A desire to hold onto something meaningful despite the wish for freedom.
And you yearn to be set free
Wanting to break free from these attachments.
There's a kind of hope that you hold on to
Describing a particular type of hope that one clings to.
When the way is dark and there's little to lose
When circumstances are dire and the stakes are low.
A kiss goodnight, a trap we spring
Metaphorically referencing a deceivingly sweet departure (kiss goodnight).
Don't turn me out, I've gold to bring
Pleading not to be rejected as there's value to offer.
A kiss goodnight, a trap we spring
Repeating the plea for acceptance despite hidden motives.
Don't turn me out, I've gold, I've gold to bring
Emphasizing the value being brought, begging not to be dismissed.
Waiting for the moment
Repetition of awaiting a specific moment.
When the night becomes kind
A hope for a transition to a more favorable phase during darkness.
There's a shadow creeping through here
Continued concern about negativity encroaching.
Will it reach your heart and mind?
Questioning if this negativity will affect emotions and thoughts again.
Standing in the corner
Repeating the feeling of observation despite tiredness.
Too tired, I see fine
Tiredness but still able to perceive the situation clearly.
Are you holding up?
Checking on someone's emotional state and the seriousness of their situation.
Is this situation dire?
Expressing concern if the situation is extremely serious.
Oh, please don't tire, are you holding up?
Reiterating concern about someone's emotional and physical state.
Is this situation dire?
Asking again about the seriousness of the situation.
There's a kind of hope you hold on to
Re-emphasizing a specific type of hope one clings to.
When the way is dark and there's little to lose
During difficult times when there's little left to risk.
Can you a build a life on your knees?
Questioning the possibility of building a life in a compromised position.
When the cost you paid is the prize you seek
Reflecting on the sacrifices made and whether they align with the sought-after rewards.
