Hope
Red Dye No. 5 Lyrics

When life's got you down and you can't make a sound
When you're feeling low and can't find the strength to speak up

Cause love has forsaken you
When you feel like love has abandoned you

When you burning on fire but have no desire
When you're feeling really passionate about something, but lack the motivation or energy to pursue it

To put out the flames in
To quell your enthusiasm

You gotta have hope
You need to hold onto the belief that things will get better

You gotta have something
You need to have some kind of goal, objective or purpose

There's always a reason to break
There's always a reason to give up or fall apart

Hope
Belief that things will improve

Cause nothing less
Nothing other than hope will suffice

Will save the day
Will lead to a better outcome

When you are in pain then step of the train
When you're hurting, it's important to remove yourself from situations that are adding to your discomfort

Nobody's waiting for you
No one is waiting to come to your rescue

You can knock down each door of all metaphors
You can try every possible solution in search of relief

Or embrace the cold hard truth
Alternatively, you can accept what's happening and deal with it objectively

I see that look in your eyes
I can tell from your expression

I've seen it before
I recognize that same expression from past experiences

Each to our own disguise
We all conceal our true feelings and thoughts in different ways

If you need me babe
I'm here for you

You're not alone, no, no
You have someone who cares about you and wants to support you

Cause despair has stolen your song
When you're feeling hopeless and unable to express yourself positively

But raise up your fist and into the abyss
You need to fight back, even if it feels like you're up against an insurmountable challenge

Scream,"Coward, get of my lawn"
Stand up to whatever is making you feel powerless or defeated, and demand that it leave you alone
