Hope
Grey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And rain falls from the sky
Gonna spend another night alone
While you're home with another guy
I've been stayin' out late now
Since you ain't been around
Coming home in the morning
Sleep till the sun goes down
I walk around, singing an old sad song
The nights fly by, before you know
I'm back in your arms, your back in my clothes
I guess that's why I always hold on hope
Now I'm walking down high street
It's damn near New Years Day
Passed the bars we used to go to
Then I turn back around and stay
I've been drinking to my limit
Since you ain't took me back
Goin' back through the moments
Figuring out the facts
And the mornings come, the days get long
I walk around, singing an old sad song
The nights fly by, before you know
I'm back in your arms, your back in my clothes
I guess that's why I always hold on hope
You're fightin' mad at the moment
But tomorrow's another dawn
You forgave me when I said I'm sorry
And I got the whole thing wrong
I've been holdin' tighter
I've been hangin' on your words
Told you I could be a fighter
Six shooter, boots and spurs
And the mornings come, the days get long
I kiss the ground, that you walk on
The nights fly by, before you know
I stayed in your arms, you stayed in my clothes
I guess that's why I always hold on hope
In Grey's song "Hope", the lyrics suggest that the singer is heartbroken and alone since his significant other has left him for someone else. He spends his nights wandering aimlessly and spends his days in bed, singing sad songs. He constantly thinks of his ex, reminiscing about the good times, and drinking to forget the pain of losing her. However, he still holds on to hope that someday they will be able to reconcile and be together again. The singer is desperate to make things right with his ex and promises to change for her.
The song touches upon one of the most common human emotions, heartbreak. It's an emotion that everyone experiences at least once in their life. It's painful and affects both physical and emotional well-being. The song is a reminder that even in the bleakest moments of life, there is always hope. And, it's possible to overcome heartbreak and find happiness again.
The story of the song is relatable and sincere; the use of metaphors like "Windows broke and the wind blows" create a vivid image of the pain that the singer is experiencing. The song also invokes a sense of nostalgia, something that many people feel when they go through a breakup. Overall, Grey has done an excellent job of creating a melody, which is simple yet carries the weight of the emotions described in the lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
Windows broke and the wind blows
The surroundings are harsh and unpredictable
And rain falls from the sky
Adding to the discomfort of the environment
Gonna spend another night alone
Feeling lonely and abandoned
While you're home with another guy
Realizing that the one they loved is with someone else and moved on
I've been stayin' out late now
Trying to fill the void by being out and about
Since you ain't been around
Feeling the emptiness left by the departed loved one
Coming home in the morning
Returning after a long night out
Sleep till the sun goes down
Sleeping during the day and avoiding facing reality
And the mornings come, the days get long
Time seems to move slowly when feeling lost and alone
I walk around, singing an old sad song
Trying to find solace in music
The nights fly by, before you know
Losing track of time at night
I'm back in your arms, your back in my clothes
Reuniting with the loved one, but realizing that things are not the same
I guess that's why I always hold on hope
Finding hope to carry on instead of losing everything
Now I'm walking down high street
Going on with life's routine, but feeling empty
It's damn near New Years Day
The time has passed, but the pain hasn't faded
Passed the bars we used to go to
Remembering times spent with the loved one
Then I turn back around and stay
Choosing to stay in the past, and not moving on
I've been drinking to my limit
Trying to forget, but not succeeding
Since you ain't took me back
Feeling rejected and abandoned
Goin' back through the moments
Reflecting on the past and what went wrong
Figuring out the facts
Analyzing what caused the relationship to fail
You're fightin' mad at the moment
The loved one is angry and distant
But tomorrow's another dawn
Believing that tomorrow is a new day and things can change
You forgave me when I said I'm sorry
Apologizing and hoping for forgiveness
And I got the whole thing wrong
Realizing their mistakes and faults in the relationship
I've been holdin' tighter
Holding on to the loved one more tightly
I've been hangin' on your words
Hoping that words of love and reassurance will bring the loved one back
Told you I could be a fighter
Promising to be strong and committed
Six shooter, boots, and spurs
Using an imagery of a tough cowboy, to show they are strong and resilient
I kiss the ground, that you walk on
Showing love, respect, and admiration for the loved one
I stayed in your arms, you stayed in my clothes
Reuniting with the loved one, and finding comfort with them
I guess that's why I always hold on hope
Holding on to hope, as it is the only thing that keeps them going
