Newcomer
Last Hope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've never seen you before
you came around not long ago
and now i see you playing fake
new local scene hero

another fake - ass wannabe
a hypocrite - your talk is cheap
another know - it - all
stupid whining kid

where the fuck were you
when we were just few
you never new what we have been through
who the fuck are you
don't try to teach us fool
don't need to prove ourselves - we do what we do

you never knew what we've been through

come and go
it's not like this
no sorry - ass
in too deep
down for real
it's just for us

newcomer - don't try to teach
you got to learn the rules before you preach
we built it, we run it - it's our thing

appreciation we don't need




your respect ain't worth shit
we're here just for us - in too deep

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Last Hope's song "Newcomer" express the frustration and disillusionment towards a person who recently entered the local music scene and is trying hard to project an image of being a hero or an expert, but in reality, is a fake and a hypocrite. The song's narrator asserts that this new person has no right to preach or teach them anything, as they have no idea of the struggles and hardships the original members went through to build and run the scene. The lyrics highlight the message that respect and appreciation are not begged for, and are not worth anything if not genuinely earned.


The lyrics represent a common sentiment that often arises in subcultures, especially music scenes, when people who are trying to make a quick name for themselves with shallow acts, come in with false enthusiasm and fail to recognize or value the legacy and culture of the scene. Their attitude towards music and art is more about the superficial aspects of it rather than the passion and the artistry itself, and they tend to become a hindrance to the scene's integrity and its pure expression. Therefore, the song seems to suggest that they may be better off just leaving the scene alone, as it belongs to and was built by people who are genuine and dedicated to it.
