The song Hope by Chainsmokers is a song that describes the dissolving of a love relationship. This song is a song that details how one partner in the relationship felt taken for granted and how they endured so many hurt aches because they kept hoping that things would change. This song, therefore, depicts a love relationship where one partner is deeply in love with the other, but the feelings are not reciprocated in the same depth. This is evidenced in the lines “I would have walked through fire to kiss your lips.” While this is the case, we also realize that the couple in this relationship has also had some great times together.
