Hope
H.t.a. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know I'm only chasing in lust
Feeling too high, I
And I'm face down, laid out, taking too much
Sure, I been a little too blunt
When I tell you it's mine (that's mine)
That you on cloud nine
When you wake up I'm the reason
Eager for me like the weekend
Whatchu want, whatchu been needing?
Pick me up, I'm on the coast
I'll leave tonight so let me know
Rides with you are sensual
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Get your hopes up
All in your feelings so I need to get back
It was so good I know you gon' ask me to change my flight
But it wouldn't be right
I ain't meant to lead you on, you know we both
Want the real thing, no demo
The same for life, life
Now you dreamin' 'bout me while you sleeping
When you wake up I'm the reason
Eager for me like the weekend
Whatchu want, whatchu been needing?
Pick me up, I'm on the coast
I'll leave tonight so let me know
Rides with you are sensual
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up, don't
Get your hopes up
Get your hopes up, don't
Don't get your hopes up
Pick me up, I'm on the coast
I leave tonight so let me know
Rides with you are sensual
Don't get your hopes up, don't
The lyrics to "Hope" by H.t.a. seem to depict a seductive encounter between two people with intense feelings of attraction and desire. The singer is aware of the power they have over the other person, recognizing that they can give them a rush of exhilaration but ultimately acknowledging that their connection is rooted in lust rather than genuine emotion. The song suggests that the singer enjoys the thrill of the moment but doesn't want to lead the other person on or give them false hope for a deeper relationship.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the temporary nature of their interaction, with the singer cautioning the other person not to get their hopes up or read too much into their connection. Despite this warning, the singer seems to revel in their own sensuality and the effect they have on the other person. The lyrics also suggest that the two have had a physical encounter in the past and that the other person is eagerly anticipating more intimate time together.
Overall, the song seems to explore the conflicting feelings of desire and caution that can arise in ephemeral romantic encounters. While the singer is clearly drawn to the other person, they are also cognizant of the limitations of their connection and the potential for hurt feelings if expectations are not carefully managed.
