In Our World
Hanker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking back at dreams I once had
Looking at 'em now they seem so far away
During all these years being a witness
Of these freedom ideals gone so far away

So many times I've been crying
All these lonely tears have gone too far away
Hoping for honesty and justice
But in people's minds it won't change anyway

So why are we taking people's lives
I pray God to forgive us for our faults
But they speak well, they teach well
They do well, they've got the right way
They show you, they rule you
They got you, they send you away
Now I'm reaped, I'm tired
Exhausted, I'm washed away
Though I'm striving, I'm fighting
And creeping, in that mess anyway

You know they speak well, they teach well
They do well, they've got the right way
They show you, they rule you
They got you, they send you away
Now I'm reaped, I'm tired
Exhausted, I'm washed away
Though I'm striving, I'm fighting
And creeping, no mercy anyway

Hanging on worthless promises
It's always been the same thing each and
every day
There's nothing you can do about it
In our world it's always been like this




anyway
But I don't lose hope...

Line by Line Meaning

Looking back at dreams I once had
Reflecting on the aspirations I once held


Looking at 'em now they seem so far away
Now, those dreams appear to be distant and unachievable


During all these years being a witness
Over an extended period, observing the world unfold


Of these freedom ideals gone so far away
Yet, the principles of liberty and justice seem to have vanished


So many times I've been crying
Many times, I have shed tears


All these lonely tears have gone too far away
But those tears of sorrow have gone unnoticed


Hoping for honesty and justice
Having faith in truthfulness and fairness


But in people's minds it won't change anyway
Despite this, people's attitudes aren't ready to embrace positive transformation


So why are we taking people's lives
Why do we take the lives of others?


I pray God to forgive us for our faults
I ask for the mercy of the Almighty for our offenses


But they speak well, they teach well
However, those in power talk effectively, and they educate the masses


They do well, they've got the right way
They may perform adequately, and they might follow the correct path


They show you, they rule you
These leaders demonstrate and control the people's actions


They got you, they send you away
They own your loyalty, and they can dismiss you


Now I'm reaped, I'm tired
Now, I am worn out, and depleted


Exhausted, I'm washed away
Fatigued, and drained, I am fading away


Though I'm striving, I'm fighting
Yet, I remain persistent and battle on


And creeping, in that mess anyway
While slowly moving and struggling in that disorderly situation


You know they speak well, they teach well
You're aware that they're good orators and trainers


No mercy anyway
Nevertheless, they continue with their harsh and pitiless ways


Hanging on worthless promises
Clutching onto worthless pledges


It's always been the same thing each and every day
It's the same cycle, day in and day out


There's nothing you can do about it
Ultimately, you can't do anything to change it


In our world, it's always been like this anyway
In our world, it has always been like this, nonetheless


But I don't lose hope...
But I won't lose faith...
