In Our World
Hanker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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...

The singer is tired and exhausted from fighting, but they continue to strive and creep in the mess anyway. The song ends with the singer hanging on to worthless promises but still holding on to hope.

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...
