Hope
Mechanical Moth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where hope has no chance to be
And love will die at all
Finally hope will fall
Fading all light in me
Where love has no chance to be
And hope will die at all
And with her grace gone
I´ve found the worst born
All love away
No more hope to stay
No hope left to see
Many dreams
But only one sets me free
Love´s never
What it seems to be
It seems to me
What it seems to be
It seems to me
Like...
Dreaming for a chance to see
For another end
Where my last hope
Falls to nowhere land
I´m fading away
Whispering slowly
Your word to stay
If you love to cry
Your tears made me blind
It's just a deaf lie
I feel the agony behind
But better to die
If you love to cry
It's just a deaf lie
The lyrics to the song "Hope" by Mechanical Moth take the perspective of someone who has lost all hope in reality. The first stanza describes a world where hope and love cannot exist, and ultimately fall apart. The second stanza goes further, stating that the absence of hope and love will ultimately lead to the person's death. The chorus then reflects on the consequences of this reality; the singer has lost all love and hope, and only one dream sets him free. The next stanza references how the singer is dreaming for another chance, but his last hope is fading away to nowhere. The final stanza is an emotional plea to someone who has made the singer blind with their tears, and begs for salvation.
