Skies
Fort Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then I'm a stranger to the cause
I'll play with the crowd until she
GET'S BY
I wished that I'd never missed her
When I'm crawling on the floor
I found the keys I lost in the pick up
(...)
So c'mon c'mon c'mon
And find it
You can't give up once you get behind it
I'll show this hurts, you can't even find it
C'mon c'mon
Because the sky is the limit
C'mon c'mon c'mon
And fight it
You can't give up if you realize it
I'll show this, where to find it
C'mon c'mon
Because the sky is the limit
I wish that I'd never kissed her
Tears gonna nothing more
The blink that attracts
(...)
Sweet sick solemn sister
I beg "Give me all your..."
This one's a bullet
But you come back FOR MORE
(...)
I wouldn't fight
SO c'mon c'mon c'mon
And fight it
You can't give up once you get behind it
I'll show this hurts but when you find it
C'mon c'mon
Because the sky is the limit
C'mon c'mon c'mon
And fight it
You can't give up if you realize it
I'll show this hurts you can't even find it
C'mon c'mon
Because the sky is the limit
And I need to let go
From the sun in my eyes
If you could please
Let me know
When you finally decide
If I'm good enough for you
You could lie awake
Or turn it something good
You could lie awake
Or turn it something good
You could lie awake
Or turn it something good
You could lie awake
Or turn it something good
NOW
NOW
So c'mon c'mon c'mon
And find it
You can't give up once you get behind it
I'll show this all but when you find it
C'mon c'mon
Because the sky is the limit
C'mon c'mon c'mon
And fight it
You can't give up if you realize it
I'll show this all but where to find it
C'mon c'mon
Because the sky is the limit
SKIES
The song "Skies" by Fort Hope seems to be about a relationship that has failed due to the singer's behavior. He feels like a stranger to the cause of his partner, who may be going through something difficult, but he chooses to play with the crowd instead of being there for her. He wishes he hadn't missed the signs that she needed his support and tries to find a way back to her. The lyrics "I found the keys I lost in the pickup" may symbolize his realization that he has to make amends to fix the relationship.
The chorus of the song is a call to action, asking the listener to fight for what they want and not give up because the sky is the limit. The singer acknowledges that the situation hurts, but they have to persevere to find the solution. The line "I'll show this hurts, you can't even find it" may signify that the singer is dealing with emotional pain that is not visible to others. The bridge of the song talks about letting go and moving on, but only if the other person decides that they are good enough for you.
The lyrics of "Skies" are open to interpretation, but they seem to be about the challenges of relationships and the importance of perseverance to overcome them. The song has a powerful message of hope and determination that makes it a popular choice for motivational playlists.
Line by Line Meaning
If she's just a solemn sister
If she's just a sad sister
Then I'm a stranger to the cause
Then I don't understand what's going on
I'll play with the crowd until she GET'S BY
I'll entertain people until she gets better
I wished that I'd never missed her
I regret not being there for her
When I'm crawling on the floor
When I'm feeling helpless
I found the keys I lost in the pick up
I found something I thought was lost
So c'mon c'mon c'mon
Come on
And find it
And discover what you need
You can't give up once you get behind it
Don't give up when things get tough
I'll show this hurts, you can't even find it
I'll demonstrate how much it hurts even if you can't see it
Because the sky is the limit
Because anything is possible
And fight it
And struggle against it
I'll show this, where to find it
I'll reveal where to find what you need
I wish that I'd never kissed her
I regret kissing her
Tears gonna nothing more
Crying won't change anything
The blink that attracts
The thing that catches your attention
Sweet sick solemn sister
Sad and sick sister
I beg 'Give me all your...'
I plead for everything you can give me
This one's a bullet
This one hurts
But you come back FOR MORE
But you keep coming back
I wouldn't fight
I wouldn't argue
And I need to let go
And I need to move on
From the sun in my eyes
From the bright light bothering me
If you could please
If you could kindly
Let me know
Inform me
When you finally decide
When you make up your mind
If I'm good enough for you
If I meet your standards
You could lie awake
You could stay up all night
Or turn it something good
Or make it into something positive
NOW
Right now
And show this all but when you find it
And reveal everything when you find it
And fight it
And struggle against it
You can't give up if you realize it
Don't give up if you understand it
I'll show this all but where to find it
I'll reveal everything, but not where to find it
