1) Last Hope is a Bulg… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Last Hope is a Bulgarian hardcore band set up in 1994. With their very first demo-album, Last Hope succeeded in getting the attention of the Bulgarian audience. A year later the band gathered with their "brothers in arms" Face Up and together camе with a split-album, winning much more respect.
After their start in 1998, Last Hope got in a studio to record their official debut album "One for One". Concerts followed in the whole country and in the end of 2000 their first video was ready. 2001 is unusually good year for Last Hope, because of their participation in festivals in countries like Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia and Greece. The European invasion is followed by records of new songs for the compilation "3-Way Split" (featuring Vendetta and Skinflick), and a little bit later the four band members created their second album "My Own Way". Alongside many bands from the Bulgarian hardcore and punk scene like Vendetta, Crowfish, Skinflick, Not Broken in Spirit, the biggest impression made the massive foreign presence with Janne from the Finnish hardcore pride Endstand, Aca Choice from the Serbian old school champions Hitman and mostly Jimmy G from the NY legends Murphy's Law.
After the release in the spring of 2003, came one of the most beneficial periods in Last Hope’s career, at least regarding their live performances. Now, after 13 years of playing Last Hope are leaders on native stage. And not just on it – they’ve played all across Europe and got on one stage with artists like Napalm Death, Madball, Stampin' Ground, D.R.I., Integrity, Murphy's Law, Agnostic Front, Sick of It All, Merauder, Caliban, Sworn Enemy and many more.
Last Hope's latest album to date - "Test Of Time" - was released in 2007.
2) Last Hope is a portuguese Hardcore Punk band. The oldest still active in the country and the most typical Margem Sul Hardcore (MSHC) band.

Last Hope Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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.
