Their trademark sound relies heavily on punk/ska phrasings, upbeat rhythms, 3-part harmonizing vocal melodies and the infamous scream. Their tongue-in-cheek lyrical onslaught really sets ABIAH apart from traditional pop-punk which is normally comprised of romance and heart-break, instead they choose to lampoon upon a wide range of humorous themes from the starving artist experience in a working camp town & minor daily annoyances such as mosquitos and an unwanted roommate. It seems Abandin All Hope will never run short of topics to write and sing about.

THE WORLD
Abandin All Hope Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time never stops
and the world
is but a fraction
of the tiny sparkles
in the sky tonight
oh whoah

i'd never break

and the fact that a reaction
is fucking up society today
oh whoah

and you know
what's not about this
goes back and forth again
and you'll never get around this
oh whoah

time will not let go

don't you know that the world will
find a way to find you
don't you know that the world will
find a way to still

i'm not afraid
'cause the world is gunna catch
and i just hope that i live to see that day
oh whoah

you're always standing in the cold
and your attitude is getting old

Overall Meaning

In the first stanza, the lyrics suggest that time never stops, and the world is merely a small part of the vast universe. The metaphor of the sky full of sparkles implies that each individual is like a tiny star in the grand scheme of things. The singer acknowledges this fact with a sense of wonder and awe.

In the second stanza, the lyrics suggest that the singer is not one to break down easily. Furthermore, the "reaction" is "fucking up society today," which could be interpreted as a commentary on the state of the world or as a personal statement about the struggles of the singer's own life. The repeated "oh whoah" adds emphasis to the moment.

The third stanza is more cryptic and ambiguous. The lyrics imply that there is something unresolved that "goes back and forth again," but it is unclear what that might be. However, the singer is confident that "you'll never get around this" and that "time will not let go."

The chorus of the song reassures the listener that the world will always find a way to find you and to still move forward. The singer is not afraid because they trust that the world will catch them, and they hope to live to see a better day. Finally, the song ends with a jab at someone who is "always standing in the cold" with an "attitude [...] getting old," which could be read as a challenge to someone who is stagnant or negative.

Perfect focal point to explain Comedy from. Explanation of geography and natural science knowledge in this book is often left behind classic summary of sins and basic religious concept. Thanks for great speech.

Until Jesus Christ gave His life for us and pleased the Father did He obtain the keys to hell and now the Judge of All. For all that believe on Him Jesus Christ and his blood atonement shall be saved! Trust in Jesus and LIVE!
