Hope Lyrics

I feel the hope running low
We never found our way home
There is no more world
The land is gone
Water is all that survived that one
There are no escapes
Gone are the days of mistakes
Our mistakes
And did you see
The night wore on
And became the days that never begun
The disappearing days
You know where I'm from
Is the only place that forever stays young
Lost at sea
We're lost at sea
I Wouldn't know my face if you all were me
All we have is all we see
There is no more hope
There are no dreams

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

John is the greatest!

it's about having no hope, or having noting to have hope for.

I'm not sure about that interpretation but it seems to me that it's about the end of the world indicated by deluge.

There is no more world The land is gone Water is all that survived that one

I try not to include any biblical connotations, but it does resemble the Flood as it was the God's punishment for people's past sins ("mistakes").

This is my take on "Hope" As with any Frusciante song you cannot be certain where he's coming from but here I go. It's about when a person is so isolated in their own mind that there's almost no hope to return back to reality. "Lost at sea... I wouldn't know my face if you all were me" Can't even comprehend seeing life in a normal way anymore.
