Hope Leaves Lyrics
I think the title says it all.It's that feeling you get when you know you will never see someone you loved again.That person could be dead or just out of your life; once you give up HOPE LEAVES.
such a great song to cry to....i love metal, but i just lost my mom to cancer, and this is when this style of opeth really gets to ya. i love the heavy opeth with the badass riffs and whatnot, but the softer style is just as, if not better than the heavier stuff.
Favorite songs include: Blackwater Park, The Moor, Windowpane, Bleak, Hope Leaves, Closure, To Bid You Farewell, Ghost Perditions, and Atonement.
i think this song is meant to soothe us by telling us that we do lose people(especially friends) in our lives but we should always keep their memories alive even through death or separation coz in our hearts they r always present n the time spent with them cannot be neglected. he also seems to cherish the silence he had with someone.....

This song has got to be one of my favorites of all time. It's so down, but so meaningful. I agree, the title completely describes the song. It's the feeling, when you say goodbye to someone for the last time, or for a long time, all feelings you had of hope are gone, and how do you cope with stuff like that?
There is a wound that's always bleeding
- It always hurts, and there's nothing to be done about it, it can't be fixed. There is a road I'm always walking
- It's always the same, the same path, the same thing, the same pain, always there. And I know you'll never return to this place
- Do you need an explanation? Someone's gone, won't be coming back.. Hope Leaves.
I think that he is still; talking about his grandma in this one.Saying her ghost wont return.He's struggling to maintain whats left,which is nothing.
Well considering his grandmother died during the recording, probably not. However I think the song is exactly about such feelings, the memories of a loved one that is gone forever. Truly a sad song indeed.
well like you said this song is about the death of his grandmother
but forest of october he is not still talking about his grandmother, you act like this is a conceptalbum wich is not. i think this is the only song about his grandmother
This is my favorite song by Opeth! I can't believe it only has four comments.
I think that this song is about someone who is gone forever, and only his memories still remain, and the writer still suffer from the pain of the farewell (there is a wound it's always bleeding), it can be about his grandmother, or it can be about someone else, for exp: when i listen to this song, i feel as it's about me and my ex girlfreind , but still a great damn song
Overwhelmingly depressing shit, especially about 2:26 through where that static noise kicks in. Pretty sure this about the death of a family member.
my favourite Opeth song. The last verse makes things a bit interesting though, to me its describing someone burning the place where the photo is so he can like rid it from his memory - cover up what really happened??? Interesting as crime scenes are often set alight to cover up evidence etc?
To cover up the unintentional killing of a loved one by one's own hands? Or he was probably forced to. Still the melancholy of it is just beautiful...
