Haerts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause they hope that there's more than they see
Leave, there's no reason to stay-
I will follow
And we search for the reasons
And pray for the gods
Day by day
We hope, for what's never been there
It's to loose the ragged shoes that we wear
Then we search for the reasons
And pray for the gods
Day by day
Building our bridges on common grounds
Now the crazy don't want to believe
What do I know? I'm just hoping slow
They will fall like all the others
That's just how life goes
Don't rush towards the finish line
You promised me
That we would hope
And we pray for the reasons
And search for the God
Day by day
Building our bridges on common grounds
Now the crazy don't want to believe
What do I know? I'm just hoping slow
Hoping slow
The underlying theme of HAERTS' song "Hope" is centered around the idea that hope is what fuels people to continue living and moving forward despite the challenges that life may throw at them. The first verse mentions that love is what fuels hope, and despite the fact that some people may seem foolish for believing in something that is not tangible, they continue to hope for something more than what they currently see. The chorus further emphasizes the idea of searching for reasons and praying for something bigger than themselves, as they continue to build bridges with their fellow human beings on common grounds to make the world a better place.
The second verse mentions that sometimes hope is for something that has never existed before, whether that be a new relationship, a job, or a personal dream. Despite the fact that the desired outcome may not already exist, they hope for it anyway, in order to shed their worn-out and ragged shoes and move towards something better. The bridge reflects the realization that hope may not always come to fruition and that disappointment is just a natural part of life. However, the promise of "hoping slow" serves as a reminder that even though things may not happen as fast as we wish, we should not give up on hope or rush towards the finish line.
