SEEK SOME HOPE
© 2005 by Nicolas Paradis
Context : The first lyrics I ever wrote. A quite simple message telling not to lose hope in life.
Genre : Alternative Rock
[Verse 1] (Guitar: Clean w/ Light Overdrive)
People are insane
Running all the same
For a hoped illusion
That doesn’t even exists
[Chorus 1] (Guitar: Mild Overdrive)
If you can’t seek any hope in your future
When you look further
Maybe you’re not alright
If you can’t make any sense out of your life
Try to visualize
If you can’t seek any nice things in the world
When you look around
Maybe you’re not O.K.
‘Cause there’s things that are good
And not harmful
[Verse 2] (Guitar: Clean w/ Light Overdrive)
Change is on your mind
Trying to combine
Your greatest desires
But it all falls down
[Chorus 2] (Guitar: Mild Overdrive)
If you can’t seek any hope in your future
When you look further
Maybe you’re not alright
If you can’t make any sense out of your life
Try to visualize
If you can’t seek any nice things in the world
When you look around
Maybe you’re not O.K.
‘Cause there’s things that are good
And not harmful
[Bridge] (Guitar: Clean)
You’re used to be on the defensive
To keep dodging every offensive
Don’t let a minority eat your sanity
Aim at their toes and make use of gravity
You know, when you’re not well somewhere
You can always pack your things and go elsewhere
When this is done and you’re quite far
You’ll know who your real friends are
[Chorus 3] (Guitar: Mild Overdrive)
If you can’t seek any hope in your future
When you look further
Maybe you’re not alright
If you can’t make any sense out of your life
Try to visualize
If you can’t seek any nice things in the world
When you look around
Maybe you’re not O.K.
‘Cause there’s things that are good
And not harmful
