Hope For The Hopeles
A Fine Frenzy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stitch in your knitted brow
And you don't know how
You're gonna get it out
Crushed under heavy chest
Trying to catch your breath
But it always beats you by a step, all right now

Making the best of it
Playing the hand you get
Well, you're not alone in this

There's hope for the hopeless
There's hope for the hopeless
There's hope

Cold in the summer breeze
Yeah, you're shivering
On your bended knee
Still, when you're heart is sore
And the heavens pour
Like a willow bending with the storm, you'll make it

Running against the wind
Playing the cards you get
Something is bound to give

There's hope for the hopeless
There's hope for the hopeless
There's hope
There's hope
There's hope





There's hope

Overall Meaning

"Hope for the Hopeless" by A Fine Frenzy is a song that encourages people who may be facing difficult times by letting them know that there is always hope, no matter how bleak things may seem. The first verse describes the physical and emotional toll that difficult times can take on a person. The imagery of a "heavy chest" and being unable to catch one's breath is a metaphor for feeling overwhelmed, and the line "it always beats you by a step" suggests a sense of hopelessness and defeat. However, the chorus reminds us that there is hope even in the darkest moments. The second verse describes being emotionally cold and physically shivering in a summer breeze, again highlighting the hardships that can be faced in life. However, the image of a "willow bending with the storm" suggests resilience and the ability to weather the storm. The final lines of the song suggest that no matter how difficult things may be, perseverance and hope will ultimately see us through.


Overall, "Hope for the Hopeless" is a song that encourages listeners to keep going, no matter what life throws at them. The song acknowledges the reality of difficult times, but also emphasizes the importance of hope, resilience, and perseverance.

Picked this album randomly from a store when I was 13 and it changed my life. Her music is beautiful!

About the same with me, but about 40 years older than you were. You have to find unseen gems for your whole life.

As you like such rather sparse, coarse music, have a look at "Never" and "Your Fires" of "All the Luck in the world", or for "spanishy" guitar, at Estas Tonne's "The Song of the Golden Dragon", or totally weird, look for "Asha Hang". I met her some nigh in the Munich pedestrian area, and found it fascinating.

For me variation is the key. Loud is only loud when there is a silent to compare it to. You have to give a note time to unfold. Pink Floyd are one of the masters of that.

Listening during the pandemic of 2020 and the fall of our beautiful country. I have hope! This year has been painful, scary and dark. I dream of seeing the light again. Hope for the hopeless.

Rick Astley

I love this song :D It actually has meaning and may actually prove to some people that not all songs have a have a catchy beat to be good (excellent in this case). Why can't more people see it's amazingness? Maybe there's hope for the hopelessness of popular music in today's world.
