| Kodaline – High Hopes Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I dont believe that this song is about letting go after a break up or so, i believe it is about taking a chance on your love by breaking up when things reach an unfixable point. Sometimes you need to end a relationship to be able to start it over clean, crazy and silly as it sounds, sometimes letting go is the only hope for a relationship to workout again without all the stuff that is piled up and screwing it. That song means alot to me, it kind of speaks to me. My boyfriend and I are so in love yet we got to a point where we cant be okay nor happy together, we are so unhappy in the relationship but we just cant not be to together cz we know well enough that we would be even more unhappy. But it kept getting worse by the day and i knew that he loves me so much but he is bored and tired of "commitment" .since he's always been the kind of guy who likes to mess around. Then came this day where i gathered all my courage and said what we both did not want to say nor hear; i told him we should break up and that he should get back to the messing around! We agreed and ended it on good terms. After our last day together, i left and just broke down; i was soo scared because i had no clue how it will be or feel, cz i knew i took a very big risk, it was by far the bravest thing i ever did. But i knew damn well that it was the only right thing to do at this point. I had no clue what will come next but whatever it was i had "high hopes" when i "let it go, go out and start again." One month later he surprised me where i was and started trying to fix things cz he realised It was us that he wants and not the messing around, now we're back together. This is what the song is about; it's about letting go despite all your fears and love, it 's about doing the right thing no matter how hard it is, and BELIEVING! The world wont ever stop, and everyday you will wake up and face facts, your memories, your fears, your pain, your frustrations with HOPE and BELIEF, and it's hope and belief that keep you from losing all the good in you by becoming bitter about love and life. I believe that "now evil is just staring at the barrel of the gun" is a representation of that emotion we all go through when it gets tooo dark, and you're too sad and frustrated that you almost lose yourself to your dark side. | |
