Hopeless
Boiler Room Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bet your life, bet your death
Now you bet your, now you bet your
Now you're better off dead

Kiss it, kiss it, kiss it on all goodbye
Kiss it, kiss it, kiss it on all goodbye

So blind you don't even know it
Can't make no sense out of hoping
Emotion can't even show it
Don't even know where you're going

Waste your life, waste your mind
Now you waste my, now you waste my,
Now you're wasting my time

Lost, now you know it




Lost, now you know it
Don't even know where you're going

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Boiler Room's song "Hopeless" seem to be a warning against making careless and reckless life choices. The opening lines "Bet your life, bet your death, now you bet your, now you bet your, now you're better off dead" suggests that the person being addressed has gambled everything they have and the result is that they are now considered better off dead. The overall message of the song appears to be one of warning, advising people to be careful with the choices they make in life and to consider the potential consequences before they act.


The repeated phrase "Kiss it, kiss it, kiss it all goodbye" is likely meant to reinforce that idea that the person being addressed is at the point of no return, and that whatever they have left should be abandoned. The lines "So blind you don't even know it, can't make sense out of hoping, emotion can't even show it, don't even know where you're going" again suggest that someone has made poor life choices and now finds themselves lost and directionless.


The chorus of the song simply repeats "Lost, now you know it, don't even know where you're going" and reinforces the idea that the person being addressed is without direction or purpose. The overall message of the song seems to be one of warning, advising people to be careful with the choices they make in life and to consider the potential consequences before they act.
