Hear Me
♫Imagine Dragons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try to hear my voice
You can leave, now it's your choice

Maybe if I fall asleep, I won't breathe right
Maybe if I leave tonight, I won't come back

I said it before, I won't say it again
Love is a game to you, it's not pretend
Maybe if I fall asleep, I won't breathe right

Can nobody hear me?
I've got a lot that's on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?

You kiss and you kiss
And you love and you love
You've got a history list and the rest is above
And if you're warm then you can't relate to me
From the floor to the floor
And the sky to the sky
You've got to love and adore and the rest is a lie
And if you're warm, then you can't relate to me

I said it before, I won't say it again
Love is a game to you, let's not pretend
Maybe if I fall asleep, I won't breathe right, right, right

Can nobody hear me?
I've got a lot that's on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?

Leave your shoes at the door, baby
I am all you adore, lately
Come with me and we will run away

Can nobody hear me?
I've got a lot that's on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?
Can nobody hear me?
I've got a lot that's on my mind




I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?

Overall Meaning

The song "Hear Me" by Imagine Dragons is about feeling unheard and misunderstood in a relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer's partner is not paying enough attention to their needs, and the singer is expressing their frustration and pain in not being heard. The line "Love is a game to you, it's not pretend" suggests that the partner may not be taking the relationship seriously, or may be manipulating the singer's feelings.


The chorus, "Can nobody hear me? I've got a lot that's on my mind. I cannot breathe, can you hear it, too?" reflects the singer's desperation and need to be understood. They want someone to listen and acknowledge their feelings, but feel like no one is really listening. The idea of "falling asleep" and "not breathing right" suggests that the singer is struggling with anxiety or depression, and may even be contemplating taking their own life as a way out of their pain.


Overall, "Hear Me" is a powerful and emotional song that captures the pain of feeling isolated and unheard in a relationship.

And if you're warm then you can't relate to me


From the floor to the floor
And the sky to the sky
You've got to love and adore and the rest is a lie
And if you're warm, then you can't relate to me

Leave your shoes at the door, baby
I am all you adore, lately
Come with me and we will run away


Can nobody hear me?
I've got a lot that's on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?


Can nobody hear me?
I've got a lot that's on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?

Yes!! Their music resonates so deeply with me. I get a huge emotional response every time I listen no matter how many times I do. They made things make sense for me years ago and they still do.
