Burning hope
dustbox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now, what are you seeing from there?
Birds flying across the sky or the fading vapor trail
Now, what are you thinking of alone?
Memories that I had fun or the future you can't see

Don't you feel you're always one step behind?
You said yesterday 'Everyone looks happy'
Oh but if you have walked in a roundabout way
You have a treasure that nobody has
You don't need to worry

Don't think it's too late
However time goes by
You can make it if you still have a burning hope
Don't think it's too late
However time goes by
The wings on your back are not broken!

Now, what are you seeing from there?
Birds flying across the sky or the fading vapor trail
Now, what are you thinking of alone?
Memories that I had fun or the future you can't see

Don't you feel

Oh but if you have walked in a roundabout way
You have a treasure that nobody has
You don't need to worry

Don't think it's too late
However time goes by
You can make it if you still have a burning hope
Don't think it's too late
However time goes by
The wings on your back are not broken!

Don't think it's too late
However time goes by
You can make it if you still have a burning hope
Don't think it's too late




Now, please open your eyes
There's a better future down the road!

Overall Meaning

In the first set of lyrics, the singer questions what the listener is observing and thinking about. The imagery of birds flying across the sky and a fading vapor trail suggests a sense of fleeting moments and transience. The singer then asks whether the listener is reminiscing about past enjoyable memories or contemplating an uncertain future that they cannot yet see.


The second set of lyrics conveys a feeling of being left behind or not quite catching up with others. The listener is told that they are always one step behind and are reminded of a previous statement they made about everyone else appearing happy. The implication is that the listener may be feeling somewhat disconnected or out of sync with the world around them.


However, the singer offers a ray of hope. They suggest that even if the listener has taken a longer, more indirect path in life, they possess a unique treasure that nobody else has. This message instills a sense of value and individuality, assuring the listener that they need not worry or compare themselves to others.


The final repetition of the chorus emphasizes the idea that it's never too late for the listener to pursue their dreams or find success. Time may be passing, yet the singer encourages the listener to hold onto their burning hope. The mention of the wings on their back not being broken symbolizes resilience and the potential to soar. The lyrics urge the listener to keep believing and open their eyes to a brighter future that awaits them along the road ahead.
