Reset
Dempsey Hope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Iโ€ฒm rarely at ease
I got problems I should deal with
I forget to eat
Somehow I don't even feel it

I canโ€ฒt take a break from my work, and now I'm burnt out
I can't even remember the last time I worked out
Iโ€ฒm always stuck in my head, filled with regret
Why canโ€ฒt I give it a rest?

How can I relax?
I need a reset
I know that there's some lessons I still havenโ€ฒt learned yet
How can I get back to where I once was?
I need a reset
I don't need a pick-me-up

Somewhere under the sun
Where all the lost days go when theyโ€ฒre gone
I wanna get back to where I belong
(I need a reset)
(I don't need a pick-me-up)

I donโ€ฒt need your help
I got myself, and that's the way that it should be
Mental health is unstable, I can't seem to find balance in me

I donโ€ฒt beat around the bush
Iโ€ฒm not the type, but I guess I could be
I'm misunderstood, I donโ€ฒt like to fight
You still shouldn't push me

How can I relax?
I need a reset
I know that thereโ€ฒs some lessons I still haven't learned yet
How can I get back to where I once was?
I need a reset
I donโ€ฒt need a pick-me-up

Somewhere under the sun
Where all the lost days go when they're gone
I wanna get back to where I belong
(I need a reset)
(I don't need a pick-me-up)

A reset
I need it
A reset
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah (woo)

Iโ€ฒm not ever lookinโ€ฒ for solutions
But I promise I do not want any problems
Sorry if I said somethin' stupid
Iโ€ฒm just havin' a hard day, to be honest

How can I relax?
I need a reset
I know that thereโ€ฒs some lessons I still haven't learned yet
How can I get back to where I once was?
I need a reset
I donโ€ฒt need a pick-me-up

Somewhere under the sun
Where all the lost days go when they're gone
I wanna get back to where I belong
(I need a reset)
(I don't need a pick-me-up)

A reset
I need it




A reset
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah (woo)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Reset" by Dempsey Hope highlight the artist's struggle with anxiety, burnout, and the need for a break from overwhelming thoughts. The song starts with the artist's admission that he rarely feels at ease, and has problems that he needs to deal with. Even when he is hungry, his mind is preoccupied, and he forgets to eat. He feels burnt out from work, and cannot recall the last time he worked out. The artist acknowledges that he is stuck in his head, filled with regret, and asking himself why he cannot give his mind some rest.


Amidst all this chaos, Dempsey Hope seeks a solution in the form of a "reset". He knows that there are lessons he still hasn't learned yet and he seeks to get back to where he once was. However, he does not need a pick-me-up, but a proper reset. He wishes to find solace somewhere under the sun, where all the lost days go when they're gone. He seeks to belong in a better place, and he struggles with his mental health, which he considers unstable, and cannot seem to find balance in himself. However, he remains determined and self-reliant, as he does not need anyone else's help.


The song's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics are relatable to a vast majority of people. The pressure of busy routines, high expectations, and juggling multiple responsibilities can take a toll on anyone's mental health. The song's message is vital, asking people to realize that it's okay not to be okay, and sometimes we need to take a step back and reset ourselves. The song encourages people to prioritize self-care and mental health, which is often undermined in our society.
