Hope Won't Die
De/Vision Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No matter what you say,
You know you're guilty
Nothing could excuse this circumstance
You can clean your hands

But your mind stays filthy
You always trip on your own demands
And hope won't die
Just go on and pray the saint

And hope won't die
But no-one else can hear your plaint
Now you want to fall into oblivion
Will that make it easier for you

First of all you need to be forgiving
'Cause the one who suffers most is you
You want to live without restraint
You want to live without restraint

You want to live without restraint
You want to live without restraint
No matter what you say
You know you're guilty

You can clean your hands
But your mind stays filthy
Nothing could excuse this circumstance
You always trip on your own demands

And hope won't die
Just go on and pray the saint
And hope won't die
But no-one else can hear your plaint





You want to live without restraint

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of De/Vision's song "Hope Won't Die" delve into the theme of guilt and the struggle to seek forgiveness. The opening lines suggest that the person being addressed is aware of their wrongdoing and cannot justify their actions. The line "You can clean your hands, but your mind stays filthy" is particularly powerful and suggests that no amount of physical cleansing can take away the guilt gnawing at their conscience.


The chorus of the song offers a glimmer of hope, with the repeated line, "And hope won't die." However, it is clear that this hope is not shared by anyone else, as the person's plea for forgiveness falls on deaf ears. The line "Now you want to fall into oblivion, will that make it easier for you" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the person has given up and is ready to disappear, hoping that their guilt will disappear along with them.


The song offers a message of redemption, with the line "First of all you need to be forgiving, 'cause the one who suffers most is you." This line suggests that the person needs to forgive themselves before anyone else can forgive them. The repeated line "You want to live without restraint" suggests that the person is seeking a way to move on from their mistake and live their life without the burden of guilt weighing them down.

I lost my sight when I got stung
I never bleeded so
Do I slide into vice
Till I'm gone?
You're like a dive into the wild
Like poems
Holding me as gentle
As a new born child at night
Then sorrow breaks
The silent spell
My mind is clearing up
And takes me back
Into my shell
Back to hell
I hope you
Won't see me through
Like I do
I can't get
You out of my mind
I see still I'm blind
I hope you
Won't see me through
Like I do
I can't get
Me out of this hug
Just be my new drug
