Sick
Fort Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'm meant to I went through the wars tonight
Is this how we fix the truth?
Just spell out the words that can make this right
'Cause I've really missed you
For you plucked off the wings that could make me fly
Is this how we tell the truth?
When we lie and we lie and we lie'Cause I'm sick of this empty house
I'm sick of this empty dream
I'm sick of this making promises that I can't keep
'Cause when you won't even fight
It's like running away
And what does running away even prove?
I'd rather sleep with the lions
On another day
One where there's nothing left to lose
'Cause I can feel it in my heart
And soul
Whoa
Just open up your eyes and see that I'm the one for you
'Cause I'm sick of this empty house
I'm sick of this empty dream
I'm sick of this making promises that I can't keep
I'm sick of this empty deal
I'm just like Tommy P in 35MM
I'm sick of this casting out hooks that you can't feel
It's not like I get it
Like it read it and said every word was right
Is this how we fix the truth?
Just lay out the verse so it's black and white
Nah fuck it
I'm gonna sing the blues
'Cause you pick and you chooseWhat is wrong and right
Is this how we tell the truth?
When we lie and we lie and we lie
'Cause I'm sick of this empty house
I'm sick of this empty dream
I'm sick of this making promises that I can't keep
'Cause when you won't even fight
It's like running away
And what does running away even prove?
I'd rather sleep with the lions
On another day
One where there's nothing left to lose
'Cause I can feel it in my heart
And soul
Whoa
Just open up your eyes and see that I'm the one for you
'Cause I'm sick of this empty house
I'm sick of this empty dream
I'm sick of this making promises that I can't keep
I'm sick of this empty deal
I'm just like Tommy P in 35MM
I'm sick of this casting out hooks that you can't feel
'Cause when you won't even fight
It's like running away
And what does running away even prove?
I'd rather sleep with the lions
On another day
One where there's nothing left to lose
C'mon
I'm sick of this empty house
I'm sick of this empty dream
I'm sick of this making promises that I can't keep
But I can feel it in my heart and soul
Can you feel it in your heart and soul?
The lyrics of Fort Hope's song Sick tell a story of a person who is tired of living in an empty house and dreaming empty dreams. The person is looking for someone to make things right and is tired of making promises they cannot keep. The lyrics mention that the person is sick of casting hooks that cannot be felt, which could imply that they feel they are not being heard or understood by the person they are addressing in the song.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm sick of this empty house, I'm sick of this empty dream," which suggests that the person is feeling lost and unfulfilled. The verses suggest that the person is trying to fix what is broken and may feel that they are not being listened to. The line "is this how we fix the truth?" suggests that there is a lack of honesty and communication in the relationship.
The bridge of the song switches from frustration to determination, with the person declaring that they would rather face their fears and sleep with lions than continue living in an empty dream. They urge the person to open their eyes and see that they are meant to be together.
Overall, the lyrics of Sick convey a sense of longing and frustration in a relationship. The person is tired of feeling empty and wants to make things right. However, there is a sense of doubt and fear that they may be running away from their problems instead of facing them head-on.
Line by Line Meaning
I've got to get you
I need to have you in my life
'Cause I'm meant to I went through the wars tonight
I am destined to be with you, despite the battles I have faced
Is this how we fix the truth?
Is honesty the only remedy for our situation?
Just spell out the words that can make this right
If we speak our minds, we may be able to solve our difficulties
'Cause I've really missed you
I have been longing for your presence
For you plucked off the wings that could make me fly
You took away my ability to soar in life
When we lie and we lie and we lie
Are we really telling the truth by continuously lying?
'Cause I'm sick of this empty house
I am tired of feeling alone in this place
I'm sick of this empty dream
I am fed up with the unfulfilled promises of the future
I'm sick of this making promises that I can't keep
I am tired of making commitments that I cannot fulfill
It's like running away
By not putting up a fight, it's as if you are avoiding the issue
And what does running away even prove?
Is there really any benefit to avoiding the problem?
I'd rather sleep with the lions on another day
I would rather face my fears and put myself in danger than continue living under these circumstances
One where there's nothing left to lose
When there is nothing else to lose, there is nothing left to fear
Just open up your eyes and see that I'm the one for you
Realize that I am the person you need in your life
I'm just like Tommy P in 35MM
I am similar to a character in the musical 35MM named Tommy P who feels lost and directionless
It's not like I get it
I don't fully understand the problem myself
Like it read it and said every word was right
I cannot simply read from a script and expect everything to be solved
Nah fuck it I'm gonna sing the blues
I will express my emotions through music, regardless of how sad they are
'Cause you pick and you choose what is wrong and right
You have arbitrary standards for what is good or bad
Can you feel it in your heart and soul?
Are you also experiencing the deep emotions that I am feeling?
