Last Hope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is how i live today
this is how i choose to be
every night and every day

hangin' out at the street
with my friends through all the shit
it's the same since i was kid

there are moments that i feel so low
ain't no money, ain't no place to go
times are hard but we won't fall

few good friends and i am there
every good and bad we share
hold our ground is all we care

for my friends
i will stand
for my friends
untill end

another wasted night
but not for me 'cuz it's all right
with my friends - side be side
we got team that is so tight

live my life day by day
gotta live it, gotta live today
looking for a better way

i don't care what people think of me
won't accept opinion that i don't need
it's my choice and i don't give a shit

for my friends
i will stand
for my friends
untill end

another wasted night
but not for me 'cuz it's all right
with my friends - side be side
we got team that is so tight

Last Hope Lyrics

I don't even know myself at all
I thought I would be happy but now
The more I try to push it I realize gonna let go of control
Gonna let it happen, gonna let it happen,
Gonna let it happen, just let it happen
It's just a spark but it's enough to keep me going
And when it's dark out and no one's around it keeps glowing
Every night I try my best to dream tomorrow makes it better
And wake up to the cold reality and not a thing is changed
But it would be happen, gonna let it happen
Gonna let it happen, gonna let it happen
It's just a spark but it's enough to keep me going
And when it's dark out and no one's around it keeps glowing
It's just a spark but it's enough to keep me going
And when it's dark out and no one's around it keeps glowing
And the salt in my wounds isn't burning anymore than it used to
It's not that I don't feel the pain it's just I'm not afraid of hurting anymore
And the blood of these veins isn't pumping any less than it ever has
And that's the hope I have the only thing I know that's keeping me alive
Alive
Gonna let it happen, gonna let it happen
Gonna let it happen, gonna let it happen
Gonna let it happen, gonna let it happen
Gonna let it happen, gonna let it happen
It's just a spark but it's enough to keep me going
And when it's dark out and no one's around it keeps glowing
It's just a spark but it's enough to keep me going
And when it's dark out and no one's around it keeps glowing

This song is so weird to me, at the same time she recorded this I went to live my dream to meet the UK, not knowing that it would be the most tragic part of my life, as soon as I got there my parents didn't want me back they canceled my tickets to fly back to Brazil, probably thinking that I would get rich or something, my money was over, I could not work since they don't accept anyone outside UK to work, I was in complete despair, I dyed my hair blue, I found some free music lessons to calm my self down, I washed so many dishes and worked so hard just to get humiliated and robbed, I left London and went to Brighton, had the most fun ever, got to a point where I did not minded sleeping at the streets, starvation became normal, praying the whole day not to drown myself into the ocean, I made the most unusual friends, God was everywhere, I knew who I was, I managed to contact people to get me back, putting some sense into my family, in 2015 I saw this, the lyrics, her hair, it was like a gift or maybe the best coincidence, my trip was hell but all about hope and finding myself, I sang this to a musician who was impressed, and somehow that experience ended a decade of depression, I want to live, wanna be an artist, still a long way but at least now I know my path, my point would be to never give up! Thank you for reading

edit February 2020: Hey guys, after this many bad things happened, I tried to fix my life but nothing worked, right now I've made a podcast it's currently on spotify I tell this whole UK story explicitly if you wanna know the details just search Millennial Reveries or click

https://open.spotify.com/show/1ajuNBYvw30xCf2ECXBuQV

I made a shitty website just so you can catch with what I'm working https://www.kayoyuuki.weebly.com

thank you for caring, ty for being part of my life's biggest trauma, I never imagined someone would care about this and make it have likes, everything will be fine, @KayoYuukiSama love you!



@dge.

I just want to share my experience with this song, in hopes that someone who needs it comes across it:

I first heard this song when I was in university, failing a class. While waiting for my final grade to come out, I bawled my eyes out to this song. It was on loop for about three days because I didn’t know what else to do to keep me sane.

I passed the course.

In the in-betweens, I would find myself going back to this song whenever a big stressor came my way. It sounded like home — it sounded like a second chance, like hope.

Now, I’m in medical school and I’ve been having really bad battles to deal with. I almost quit in my first year. This song saved me.

I haven’t been feeling okay mentally with everything that’s been going on recently. I’m listening to it now (coronavirus time) and the mere sound of the guitar reminded me that I went through so many things (and almost-failures) just to get to where I am now. It’s giving me so much strength to continue, no matter how bad it’s looking for me.

This song really means so much to me and I’d like to thank Paramore for bringing it to life. I know my hardships won’t end anytime soon, but it’s great consolation to know that I have this song to run to when I’m in need of a good cry/release.

To anyone out there who’s reading this, keep going, and trust in your spark.
