sinister,
in a state of hope,
summer night could keep me calm
someway I let it happen,
in a flash, in a flash
star of hope,
shining out now
summer nights
brought no calm

when all I want, all I want,
is a state of hope,
with all I want

summer night, and I did not hope,
for something I couldn’t have.
you turn me down, let it happen,
with your hands, with your hands

someway I let it happen,
in a flash, in a flash,
when all I want, is a state of hope

Overall Meaning

Loney Dear's "Sinister in a State of Hope" is a melancholic ballad that speaks of the desperation of wanting something but failing to grasp it. The song describes a summer night that could have been calming, but instead brings a sense of unease and dread. The lyrics "sinister, in a state of hope" suggest a conflict, a sense of foreboding that permeates through moments of optimistic potential.

The singer notes that "summer nights brought no calm", indicating a deep-seated restlessness that is not easily quelled. The singer is then left in a state of desperation when everything they want is a state of hope. This desire for hope is all-consuming, and they have nowhere else to turn to.

The song comes to an end with the singer expressing regret for not hoping for something they couldn't have during that particular summer night. There is a sense of nostalgia for moments that could have been, a longing for something that could have been theirs but was never theirs to have. The haunting melody and sparse instrumentation validate the poignancy of the lyrics.

Siniestro en un estado de esperanza

Siniestro, en un estado de esperanza, la noche de verano me da frío.
De alguna manera lo dejé pasar,
en un destello, en un destello
Estrella de esperanza, brillando por ahí
Entonces las noche de verano
no trajeron calma
Cuando todo lo que quiero, todo lo que quiero, es un estado de esperanza, con todo lo que quiero

La noche de verano, y no esperaba,
por algo que no podria tener.
Me rechazas, deja que suceda,
con tus manos, con tus manos
De alguna manera dejo que suceda,
en un instante, en un instante,
cuando todo lo que quiero, quiero
Es un estado de esperanza
