Hope Vol. 2
Apocalyptica Lyrics

Hope is beauty,
Hope is a beautiful thing, representing positivity and optimism.

Personified,
Personified meaning it embodies a human-like appearance, it becomes the epitome of beauty.

At her feet, the world,
The world is at the mercy of hope and it influences the global perspective.

Hypnotized.
The world is hypnotized by hope's power, it attracts every eye and so every eye is fixated on it.

A million flashes,
A million flashes is a reference to the cameras that follow hope, signifying the attention hope commands.

A million smiles,
A million smiles is a reference to the reaction of those who follow hope, signifying the positive impact hope has on people's lives.

And on the catwalk,
This line refers to the public display of hope’s influence or power.

She floats in style
This line could mean that hope travels gracefully, elegantly and fluently.

But in this heart of darkness
This line signifies a bleak or sorrowful inner state associated with loss, which is in contrast to hope.

Our hope lies lost and torn,
The deep-seated hope that people have is seemingly lost or completely destroyed due to a tragic event.

All fame like love is fleeting
This line refers to the temporary and unstable qualities of fame, which dissipates quickly like a short-lived romance.

When there's no hope anymore
The disappearance of hope means that there's no point in pursuing glory or fame.

Pain and glory,
There is always a trade-off or sacrifice that comes with success.

Hand in hand,
This sacrifice unavoidably occurs as a necessary consequence of success and the two are intertwined or closely linked.

A sacrifice,
Something must be given up or dedicated to achieve success or fame.

The highest price,
The highest cost or most significant sacrifice.

Like the poison in her arm
This line could symbolize the harmful side effects and tragic consequences of something that was at first perceived as positive, such as drug addiction.

Like a whisper she was gone...
The sudden and abrupt loss of something significant, almost like it was never there.

Like when angels fall.
Refers to the shocking or tragic moments that occur when a seemingly perfect or divine being is revealed to have flaws or is corrupted.

And in this heart of darkness
The despair or sadness that accompanies the loss of hope or a positive outlook.

All hope lies on the floor,
The loss of hope becomes so overwhelming that it seems useless or futile to try and regain it.

All love like fame is fleeting
Both love and fame are ephemeral, meaning they won't last forever and their value is subject to change over time.

When there's no hope anymore
The disappearance of hope tarnishes everything else in life and makes it more difficult to experience happiness.

Like the poison in her arm
As before, this line represents the detrimental effects of something positive and hopeful.

Like a whisper, she was gone
The sudden and quiet exit of hope, leaving behind sadness and despair.

Like an angel,
A reference to hope's pure, good-hearted nature that uplifts those around it.

And Angels fall
A reminder that even the things that seem perfect and untouchable have the potential to fall, creating a tragic or somber atmosphere.
