Last Hope

This song is about having faith in one thing that keeps you going. There are some really dark times in all of our lives, it's about when you reach that point you wanna throw it all away but you have one "last hope" to hold onto, be it your loved one, "God", or whatever. You're so close to letting go of the ledge you're holding onto so desperately but there's just one thing that keeps you hanging on.

to me this song represents depression. having being someone who suffers with depression, I tell myself every night it will be better tomorrow "everynight I try my best to dream, tomorrow makes it better" but then, it never is. "then i wake up to the cold reality, that not a thing has changed." I still hold on because I know one day it will become all better. "gotta let it happen." Thank you Paramore for not making me feel alone.

I went to their show a few nights ago and before playing this song Hayley said it was inspired by the fans keeping her and the band strong through the tough times.

I'm surprised there are not more comments on this song yet. I think it's phenomenally written. The lyrics seem to be, just as nanders said, about faith. Faith in something big. When I first really listened to it, what stood out to me was God's plan for my life.

I'm agree with you @song meaning..the lyric seem to tell us about our hope and the urge that we carry in our live..something that keep us to go forward without any regret because of the urge for the last hope that we hoped so..keep standing still guys!

To me this song is more of a fusion between most of the comments. It's about faith, so yes it has to do with christianity even though Hayley isn't a fundamentalist, her fans, the changes that she's been going through and when the Farro brothers left. It's how she keeps the faith in herself, in God and her fans even though it sounds like she's going through dark times so she keeps holding on to it always.

"And the salt in my wounds isn't burning anymore than it used to It's not that I don't feel the pain it's just I'm not afraid of hurting anymore And the blood of these veins isn't pumping any less than it ever has And that's the hope I have the only thing I know that's keeping me alive Alive"

I think she's referring to the Farro brothers and how they would burn her because of the changes she was going through when she wanted to experiment with her lyrics since they didn't like it which eventually led to them leaving the band. So even though it happened a while back it still effects her but thanks to her fans for sticking with her in those tough times she can still keep the faith, that spark that keeps her going.

I know that this song wasn't written about eating disorders, but that's what this song is to me. When I'm struggling and about to give in to the disorder, just that smallest little spark will keep me going.

Depending on what stage of the disorder I'm in. If it's while I'm fasting and I'm about to give up, when I see the number on the scale drop - that's my spark. It keeps me going. But if I'm trying to recover - it pushes me into recovery. Coz most of my brain is taken over by Anorexia that the small part of me that knows I need to recover, that's my spark then.

Es triste para mi porque esta cancion arranco muy esperanzadora, pero se torno triste. Tiene un tono melancolico a pesar de llamarse "ultima esperanza". Es una lastima porque podria haber sido una cancion muy inspiradora, pero en lugar de eso es algo triste. Se lo que es lidiar con problemas, especialmente los que se van a tu cabeza. Basicamente, esta cancion te echa en cara todo lo triste que es la vida, todo el sufrimiento que sentimos al estar vivos en ella, y que al final hay esperanza. Pero al final hay solo muerte, lo siento decir. Vivir es ahora y eso es lo que importa.
