Hope
Vince Pierri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We both spoke but i learned not to listen.
But if we stay will it get better than this?
'cause i won't try to miss you.
And if we wait will we try harder than this?
'cause i won't try to persuade you, oh.
Where could we go when i learn what love is for?
Faith isn't supposed to be this way,
We both strayed and slipped back into our old ways.
The lyrics of "Hope" by Vince Pierri depict a sense of disappointment and confusion. The singer acknowledges that hope is not supposed to feel this way, and possibly alludes to a broken relationship. The second line, "We both spoke but I learned not to listen," implies a lack of communication and an inability to understand each other. Despite this, the singer questions whether things could improve if they stay together. However, they also seem to be resigned to the situation, stating that they won't try to miss or persuade the other person.
The chorus offers a glimmer of hope, as the singer wonders who they will be once they understand what love is for. The final lines of the chorus, "Where could we go when I learn what love is for?" suggest a desire for a new beginning and a departure from their old ways. The second verse then shifts the focus to faith, which also seems to have been tested and compromised. They both strayed and returned to their old ways, indicating a struggle to remain true to their beliefs.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hope" convey a sense of longing and uncertainty. The singer is grappling with their emotions and trying to make sense of their situation, while also recognizing that they may not have all the answers.
