We Are the Gods
Fort Hope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I tell you where I've been
Would you show me what love means
If I show you what I've seen
Could you tell me what lie's mean
'Cus I've been promised a world of dreams
That's not a future that I can see
A fear in constant company
What has promising done for me

When I'm on top of the world I'm free
I stand tall, close my eyes and breathe
Like nothing out there can conquer me
'Cus that's the person I should be
'Cus when I'm down I'm down for three
Now there's a promise that I can keep
I feel the darkness over me
A fear in constant company

I'm not sure what's more enlightning living fast, or growing old
I feel like I should know
And I can't say if taking chances makes you brave, or shows blind faith
Sinking over you

There's no way I'm gunna go down this road again
Woah, It cuts to the bone can I let it win
It's our call to, return from which, we come from which, we come
Because life could, be so good, if we open, our hearts
Just like we are the gods
Woah
It's our heritage

I'm not sure what's more enlightning living fast, or growing old
I feel like I should know, yeah
And I'm not sure if taking chances makes you brave, or shows blind faith
Sinking over you, again
There's no way I'm gunna go down this road again
Woah, it cut's to the bone can I let it win
It's our call to, return from which, we come from which, we come
Because life could, be so good, if we open, our hearts
Just like we are the goos
We are the gods

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fort Hope's song We Are the Gods delve into themes of self-discovery, uncertainty, and the longing to understand life’s intricacies. In the first verse, the singer seems to be in search of someone to help them make sense of the world they inhabit. They question the meaning of love and the validity of promises made by others. The singer is filled with an unease that comes with feeling like they have been misled, like they are not sure they can trust anyone.


The chorus provides a sense of hope and determination. The singer recognizes that when they are at their best, they feel powerful and free. They can overcome any obstacle that comes their way. However, in the next verse, the singer is filled with doubt and uncertainty yet again. They wonder whether it is better to live fast and recklessly or to grow old and wise. The singer also ponders the meaning of courage and faith. The final lines of the verse imply that the singer is struggling with something painful that they are afraid to revisit.


In the chorus, the singer seems to have found some resolution. They realize that life can be lovely if they open their hearts to it. The last line of the song is “We are the gods,” which can be interpreted in many ways. Perhaps it is a message of self-empowerment. Or maybe it implies that the singer is acknowledging a higher power guiding them through life.
