In May 2007, Avicii signed on with the Dejfitts Plays label. Then, in 2010, Avicii released the hit song "Seek Bromance", which reached the top 20 in several countries including Belgium, France, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Sweden. He also remixed Nadia Ali's classic single "Rapture" for her album Queen of Clubs Trilogy: Onyx Edition. In October 2010, Avicii signed with the European A&R team with EMI Music Publishing.
Avicii released his final album prior his death in 2015 titled "Stories". The LP was his second album to go #1 and spawned the chart-topping "Waiting for Love" as well Top 5 hit singles "For a Better Day" and "Broken Arrows". The single "Pure Grinding" also reached Top 20.
In 2017, Avicii released what was originally meant to be the first EP to a three-part album.
The extended play was named "Avīci (01)" and spawned the #1 Sandro Cavazza-assisted hit "Without You".
Additionally, the Top 3 single "Lonely Together" which featured Rita Ora was also released from the EP.
"Avīci (01)" itself also went #1 and was another smash success for the DJ.
He died on 20 April 2018 in Muscat, Oman, at the age of 28; the manner of his death was identified as suicide, the specific cause and method withheld from the public in accordance with standard media treatment of suicides.
Over a year after his death, on June 6th 2019, a posthumous album titled "TIM" was released. The singles "SOS" (featuring Emanon's Aloe Blacc), "Tough Love (featuring Vargas & Lagola and Agnes) and "Heaven" were released from the LP. The latter song featured vocals from Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin. "SOS" reached a peak at the top of the charts, whilst the two following singles managed to reach the #2 position. The album itself also peaked at #1, making it his third album (fourth counting his 2017 EP "Avīci (01)") to do so.
Freak
Avicii Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want you to see how depressed I've been, yeah
You were never the high one, never wanted to die young
I don't want you to see all the scars within
So, tell me why (oh why, oh why)
Why am I such a freak?
You're outta your mind (oh my, oh my)
And I told you I'd be different
And I told you I was wild
You're stuck in denial
Yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak
I keep thinking about what we could've been
If we hadn't been caught in what should've been, yeah
Oh, we used to be dancing, never cared about nothing
I don't know when we got all these scars within
So, tell me why, yeah (oh why, oh why)
Why am I such a freak?
You're outta your mind (oh my, oh my), no
Who the fuck are you to judge me?
And I told you I'd be different
And I told you I was wild
You're stuck in denial
Yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak
Hmm, yeah
Yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak
You're stuck in denial
Yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak
Oh, yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak
Oh why, oh why
Hmm
Oh my, oh my
Yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak
Oh why, oh why
Oh my, oh my
Yeah, I think that maybe you're the freak
The lyrics to Avicii Bonn's song "Freak" deal with issues of mental health, self-esteem, and societal pressure. The singer is struggling with depression and hiding his scars, wanting to present a different, more positive image to the person he cares about. However, despite his efforts to hide his mental health struggles, the singer is still judged and misunderstood by others. He questions why he is perceived as a freak and why others feel they have the right to judge him. The chorus suggests that perhaps the judgment is misplaced, and that the other person is the real freak, stuck in denial about their own issues.
The song's lyrics are poignant and relatable, dealing with universal themes of mental health struggles and societal pressure. The chorus, with its repetition of "Why am I such a freak?" is particularly striking, as it highlights the social stigma surrounding mental health issues and the tendency to blame the person struggling rather than offering support and understanding.
Overall, "Freak" is a powerful song that encourages listeners to be more thoughtful and compassionate towards those who struggle with mental health issues. It is an important reminder that everyone has scars within, and that we should strive to be more accepting and understanding of each other.

日本人として言わせてもらいます。
彼は人生を全うし自ら命を絶ってしまいましたが、彼が残したものはとてつもなく素晴らしいものであり、この先もずっと私たち人間の記憶から忘れ去ることなく、後世に語り継がれると思います。彼の肉体は無くなっても、魂は私たちの中にあります。
本当にありがとう。
