Abandin All Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ooh it's ridiculous
subconsciousness
i think i've gone insane
right now it's the worst that i could do
ooh and i'm dropping out
and when it counts
when i'm told
(don't blow your chances)
and i know
(that what i have is)
something else i less
respected
i'm getting old
(must be mistaken)
'cause i sold
(my motivation)
something else that i
neglected
let it be the last one for awhile
ooh and i'm serious
and curious
if i f**ked up my lifestyle
i hope it's worth it in the end
ooh but only time will tell
i feel like hell
and i'm headed straight to bed
in the end
oh well
oh well
i guess i'll find out in the end
oh well
oh well
it's getting closer to the end
oh well
oh well
oh well
In these lyrics, the singer expresses their mental state and their concern about the consequences of their actions. The line "I let this pen affect my brain" suggests that the singer is consumed by their thoughts and feelings, and they are struggling to cope with them. The phrase "subconsciousness, I think I've gone insane" further supports the idea that the singer is experiencing some form of mental disturbance.
The chorus contains the line "when it counts, I do it all for you", implying that the singer is dealing with an external pressure or expectation from someone. They feel that what they have worked for is not respected, and they are considering giving up on their goals. However, the line "let it be the last one for awhile" suggests that they are not ready to let go completely, and are hoping for a break before they resume their pursuit.
The repetition of "oh well" throughout the song can be interpreted in two ways. It could either signify the singer's resignation to their current circumstances or be an expression of indifference to the outcome of their actions. Overall, the song is a reflection of the struggle between pursuing one's dreams and dealing with the pressures and consequences that come with it.
