The meaning of the lyrics of the song "No Hope Kids" by the artist "Wavves"

In the song "No Hope Kids" by Wavves, the author paints a picture of total loneliness and hopelessness. The lyrical hero, surrounded by emptiness ("no car, no money, I got nothing, nothing, nothing at all"), denies the importance of external factors such as faith ("no god"), love ("no girlfriend") or social connections ("no friends, no family"). He convinces himself that he "don't need anybody but myself".

The repeating phrase "woah-oh-oh" is likely not just a musical device, but also a reflection of the emptiness, an echo in the hero's head, where there are no thoughts or feelings, just a bare statement of fact.

The chorus "No hope kids are doomed" sounds like a sentence, a statement of hopelessness. The hero considers himself to be a part of a generation deprived of a future, faith in themselves and the world around them. He sees no way out of this situation, accepting it as a given.

The repetition of the verses enhances the feeling of hopelessness and monotony of the hero's life. It is as if he is stuck in a loop, replaying the same thoughts and feelings. At the end of the song, the hero repeats "I know, I know, I know, I know, I know," as if convincing himself of his own rightness, trying to drown out doubts and fear.

Got no car

Got no money

I got nothing, nothing, nothing, not at all

Got no god. (wah-wah-wah)

Got no girlfriend. (wah-wah-wah)

And I know don't need no one but me

No hope kids are doomed

Got no time. (wah-wah-wah)

Got no Money. (wah-wah-wah)

I got nothing, nothing, nothing, not at all

Got no friends. (wah-wah-wah)

Got no family. (wah-wah-wah)

Just a bunch of people all around me

No hope kids are doomed

No hope kids are doomed

Got no time. (wah-wah-wah)

Got no money. (wah-wah-wah)

I got nothing, nothing, nothing, not at all

Got no god. (wah-wah-wah)

Got no girlfriend. (wah-wah-wah)

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
