Possibilities
Hurricane Bells Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everything, everything has turned out wrong, oh Lord Alles, alles ist falsch ausgeartet, oh Herr
We had dreams wir hatten Träume We had possibilities, oh Lord Wir hatten Möglichkiten, oh Herr

But tonight we're gonna get up our hands aber heute Nacht werden wir uns aufrichten
But tonight we´re gonna get up our hands aber heute Nacht werden wir uns aufrichten
When you rid up wenn du aufspringst
there was a perfect sort of us
war da ein perfekte Art von uns
oh Lord oh Herr
Every song waiting to be song jedes Lied, das darauf wartet gesungen zu werden
oh Lord oh Herr
But tonight there´s a possibility aber heute Nacht gibt es eine Möglichkeit
But tonight there´s a possibility aber heute Nacht gibt es eine Möglichkeit
Oh I still remember oh ich erinnere mich noch daran




On everything that you didn´t believe an alles, was du nicht geglaubt hast
But tonight there´s a possibility aber heute Nacht gibt es eine Möglichkeit

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hurricane Bells' song Possibilities express a sense of disappointment and missed opportunities, but also a glimmer of hope for a better future. The opening lines "Everything, everything has turned out wrong" convey a feeling of frustration and despair, as if the singer's life has taken a wrong turn and nothing seems to work out. However, the use of the German phrase "Alles, alles ist falsch ausgeartet, oh Herr" adds an extra layer of intensity and perhaps hints at a sense of detachment from the situation, as if the singer is commenting on his own life from a distance.


The second verse ("We had dreams, we had possibilities") is particularly poignant, as it highlights the contrast between the brighter vision of the past and the reality of the present. The repetition of "oh Lord" and "oh Herr" suggests a sense of pleading or prayer, as if the singer is asking for guidance or reassurance in the face of his disappointment. Nevertheless, there is a hint of defiance in the chorus ("But tonight we're gonna get up our hands"), as if the singer is determined to seize whatever opportunities come his way and not let the past hold him back.


Overall, the lyrics of Possibilities offer a nuanced and emotionally charged reflection on the complexities of human experience, capturing both the lows and the highs of life and leaving the listener with a sense of hope for what may come.
