Mixing gorgeous guitar licks and towering drum patterns, as well as a duel-vocal approach; Hopes Die Last showcase a perfect blend of aggressive vocal stamina and fine-tuned lyrical matter, providing a healthy foreground for the exhaustive backdrop on which they perform. The band is made up of five kids: becko, daniele, marco, ivan, and jacopo. For them, it's not about being in the hall of fame; it's all about screwing around and being teenagers.
In July 2008, Nick, the screamer, announced through the band's myspace page that he was quitting the band to pursue other interests.

Some Like It Cold
Hopes Die Last Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried to do my best
but nothing seems to be alive
cause everytime I speak
I see your walls falling
and now
when I come around you all are
on your knees
So, what can you say?
did I fail?

You know that
I try to do the best I can
but you don't care
and I swear

I swear I'll never be like you
and that's the truth
cause I can see
that you are playing
hide and seek
with all my dreams

Never met no one that
hates me like you do
but hey, I can understand it
cause everytime I speak
I see your walls falling
but now I dare
so show me how
to play this game
you know that
I'm trying to be myself again
but you don't care
and I swear
I swear i'll never be like you
and that's the truth
cause I can see
you are playing hide and seek
with all my dreams
I'll wake up
I'll wake up
so try to hit me now
try to steal myself again
I try to do the best I can

You know that
I try to do the best I can
You know that
I'm trying to be myself again
but you don't care
and I swear
I swear I'll never be like you
and that's the truth
cause I can see




you are playing hide and seek
with all my dreams

Overall Meaning

The singer is trying his best to be accepted by these people, but nothing seems to be working. Every time he speaks, he sees their walls falling and he can't seem to connect with them. The people around him are on their knees, but he doesn't know what that means or what to say to them. He wonders if he's failed at trying to be accepted by them.


Despite his efforts, the singer realizes that the people he's trying to impress don't care about him. He's different from them and that's okay. He swears that he'll never be like them because he sees them playing hide and seek with his dreams. The people around him are hiding their true selves and he doesn't want to be a part of that. However, he also realizes that he'll never be accepted by them, so he's going to continue being himself and not worrying about what they think.


Overall, the lyrics are about feeling like an outsider and not fitting in with a particular group of people. Despite trying his best to fit in, the singer realizes that he doesn't need to change who he is to be accepted by others.

I'm just gonna say it. This is one of the best post hardcore songs ever. And HPL was so underrated. Wish I could have seen them live

CEOP

Conheci essa banda através de uma menina chamada Yasmin de são José do Rio preto -sp, gosto dos reefs, e os screams são de acordo com a melodia e a batida, essa música é a melhor deles

Sounds ΣPIC!

This song evokes feelings in me, a longing, and it's just beyond my reach, I can't decipher what it is and I have no other way of describing it...
