Did Anyone Approach You?
(Lifelines - 2002) A-HA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You never look back
You never say anything based on fact
You've got issues going way back
You never say 'hi'
You never say much
You never make an effort to stay in touch
I've got this feeling something happened here
Did anybody feel you?
Did anybody deal you?
Did anybody make you do some things now?
Did anyone approach you?
Did anybody coach you?
Did anybody tell you what to say now?
Hopeless, it's not hopeless
Doubtful, but not hopeless at all
You never looked up
You never look back
You never did anything in between
Are things black and white with you
You never believed
You never belonged
Never made milestones to call your own
I've got this feeling something happened here
Something happened here
Did anybody hide you?
Did anybody fight you?
Did anyone decide to do some harm now?
Did anybody read you?
Did anybody bleed you?
Did anybody feed you lots of junk now?
Hopeless, it's not hopeless
Doubtful, but not hopeless
Hopeless, it's not hopeless
Doubtful, but not hopeless at all
Hopeless, it's not hopeless
Doubtful, but not hopeless at all
Something happened here
Something happened here
The lyrics of "Did Anyone Approach You?" convey a sense of detachment and isolation from the world. The singer is addressing someone who never looks up, never speaks based on fact, and never makes an effort to stay in touch. It seems that the person being addressed here has deep-rooted issues that go way back and has never made milestones to call their own. The lines "Are things black and white with you, you never believed, you never belonged" indicate that the person being addressed is perhaps grappling with certain personal or societal beliefs that prevent them from connecting with others.
The chorus questions whether anyone has ever approached the person being addressed, whether anyone has coached or told them what to say or do. The lines "Did anybody hide you? Did anybody fight you?" give a sense of concern and care for the person being addressed. The song is suggesting that maybe this person needs someone to guide them or support them through whatever they are going through. The lines "Hopeless, it's not hopeless, doubtful but not hopeless at all" could be interpreted as a message of hope for the person being addressed. The word "doubtful" implies that the situation is uncertain, but "not hopeless at all" suggests that there is always a chance for things to get better.
