The song "Saskatchewan" by Hopesfall is a melancholic reflection on the human condition and the deep sense of unfulfillment that many experience in life. The lyrics suggest that there is a fundamental emptiness at the core of our existence, which is symbolized by the "hole in the sun" – a metaphor for the absence of meaning and purpose in our lives. The song also touches on the theme of grief, exploring the idea that there is a part of us that can never be fully satisfied or healed. The "unsolved part of grief" lingers in our souls, casting a sober hum over everything we do. Despite these heavy themes, there is a sense of resilience in the lyrics, as the speaker vows to "try alone" even as they "wither away." The final lines of the song suggest that there is beauty and mystery in the pursuit of meaning, even if it remains forever out of reach: "We are a mind chasing shadows / Like the hole in the sun."
