love letter
Hope For Agoldensummer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My body lies still on the green grass of youth

Red rosy kisses under vast skies of blue

Cold river droning down to the sea

Hold me tied to song while I sleep
I will not grow old

I will not forget you

Cold river droning down to the sea

I'm trusting you closely

Far from the houses

Thick warm blood on black woolen trousers

You look at my picture

You look in the mirror

You look to the heavens

And you see only monsters

You want me to know

That my goodbye love letter

In his hell, in their hands

Of a love-crippled pillar

I will not grow old





I will not forget you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hope For Agoldensummer's song "Love Letter" are haunting and mysterious, with a sense of longing and nostalgia that permeates every line. The opening verse sets the mood, as the singer's body lies still on the green grass of youth, with red rosy kisses under vast skies of blue. The cold river that drones down to the sea holds her tied to song while she sleeps, creating a sense of continuity and connection to nature that infuses the entire song. The refrain "I will not grow old, I will not forget you" is repeated several times, indicating a determination to hold on to something that is slipping away.


The second verse is even more enigmatic, with references to thick warm blood on black woolen trousers, and looking at the singer's picture and the mirror and seeing only monsters. The final lines reveal the true heart of the song, as the singer speaks of a goodbye love letter that is in someone else's hell, in the hands of a love-crippled pillar. The imagery is vivid and powerful, and suggests a deep sense of loss and regret that cannot be easily expressed. The overall effect is one of a dreamlike, melancholic beauty that lingers long after the song has ended.
