Bang Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She beckons me
Lost in the distance of another life,
My destiny
The Isle of Hope, The Isle of Hope
Skid away Drift away across the water
Skid away to the Isle of Hope
I hear her whispering
Spend your life
Be here with me
Make it so
Let it be
Skid away across the water
Skid away to the Isle of Hope
Like an angel gently calling
She cries to me
Skid away across the water
Skid away to the Isle of Hope
Skid away to the Isle of Hope
Spend your life
Be here with me
Make it so
Let it be
Skid away Drift away
The song Isle of Hope by Bang begins with a dreamy and enchanting tone, where the singer is being called out by an angel from the Isle of Hope. The lyrics "Like an angel gently calling, She beckons me" transport the listener to a place of calm and serenity, where the call of the unknown is tempting the singer to leave his present life behind and explore new horizons. The Isle of Hope serves as a metaphor for the unknown, for a new or undiscovered world, in which the singer, lost in his thoughts, could find his destiny.
The lyrics further evoke the singer's inner struggle with the decision to follow the call of the unknown or stay in the comfort of his current life. The lines "Spend your life, Be here with me, Make it so, Let it be" reflect the singer's thoughts of leaving everything behind to embrace the new world, while also being hesitant to take the plunge. The angel's whispers and cries in the lyrics "Adrift upon a tender wind, I hear her whispering, She cries to me" seem to reflect the singer's inner turmoil between desire and fear.
Isle of Hope is a song that captures a longing for something new and the fear of the unknown. It is a beautiful and reflective track that takes the listener on a journey of self-discovery.
