No Hope
mind.in.a.box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Panic slowly crawling in
Is this how we end this times
(Beginning of the apocalypse)
Essentials gone what to do now
Kill or be killed in this world
All hope is gone and so is God
We were left to kill
Why succumb to the struggle
When the pain is not real
When the pain is not real
With every step I stumble
No more energy or will to live
But I keep on, have to keep on
No other choice but to move on
Or we're done
Dark Times ahead
Don't give up
This is not the end
The lyrics of mind.in.a.box's "No Hope" evoke a sense of hopelessness and despair in the face of a viral outbreak that has plunged the earth into chaos. The opening lines describe the spreading of a virus and the slow creeping of panic as people begin to realize that this could be the end, the beginning of the apocalypse. The lyrics suggest that the end of the world has come, or at least the end of the world as we know it, and there seems to be no hope for survival.
As the song continues, the lyrics paint a picture of a world where essentials have become scarce and people have resorted to violence in order to survive. The line, "kill or be killed in this world," speaks to the brutality of this new reality. The lyrics also suggest that people are questioning the existence of God or whether God has abandoned humanity. They feel as though they have been deserted or left to fend for themselves in a world where all hope is gone.
Despite everything, the lyrics offer a glimmer of hope. The chorus urges listeners not to succumb to the struggle, even when the pain is not real. It speaks to the idea that, even in the darkest of times, we must keep moving forward, even if we stumble along the way. The lyrics suggest that there is no other choice but to keep going, or else we are done.
