Hope There's Someone
Avicii (feat. Linnea Henriksson) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hope there's someone who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go?
And hope there's someone who'll set my heart free
Rest alone when I'm tired

There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How will I fall asleep tonight?
How will I rest my head?

And that sin, I don't want to go
To the seals of war through shame
And there's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
Oohh! Oohh!

Oh I'm scared of that middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there

There's a man on the horizon
Wish that I'd go to bed
And if I fall to his feet tonight
Will allow rest my head

And godsend I don't want to go
To the seal's watershed
And there's a ghost on the horizon




When I go to bed...
Ohhh! Ohhh!

Lyrics:

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How will I fall asleep tonight
How will I rest my head

And Godsend
I don't want to go
To seals of shame!
There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed

Oh I'm scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there

There's a man on the horizon
Wish that I'd go to bed
If I fall to his feet tonight
Will allow rest my head

So here's hoping I will not drown
Or paralyze in light
And godsend I don't want to go
To the sea's watershed

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, Will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

Stop fighting and let's start the love



白立可

Hope there's someone
希望能夠有人
Who'll take care of me
可以照顧我
When I die, will I go
在我死去之時,在我離去之時

Hope there's someone
希望能夠有人
Who'll set my heart free
可以釋放我的心靈
Nice to hold when I'm tired
當我疲倦時呵護我的心

There's a ghost on the horizon
地平線上有一隻鬼魂
When I go to bed
當我躺上床
How can I fall asleep at night
我要怎麼在夜晚安眠?
How will I rest my head
我要怎麼停止我的腦袋?

Oh I'm scared of the middle place
喔我好害怕那個交界之處
Between light and nowhere
在光亮與虛無的交界之處
I don't want to be the one
我不想要成為那個
Left in there, left in there
遺落在那裡的人

There's a man on the horizon
地平線上有個人
Wish that I'd go to bed
冀望我能夠躺上床
If I fall to his feet tonight
如果我今晚能夠倒向他的膝下
Will allow rest my head
我的腦袋將得到休憩

So here's hoping I will not drown
所以我希望我不會溺斃
Or paralyze in light
或者是癱瘓在光線的沐浴中
And godsend I don't want to go
幸運地我並不想前往
To the seal's watershed
封閉的流域

Hope there's someone
希望能夠有人
Who'll take care of me
可以照顧我
When I die, will I go
在我死去之時,在我離去之時

Hope there's someone
希望能夠有人
Who'll set my heart free
可以釋放我的心靈
Nice to hold when I'm tired
當我疲倦時呵護我的心

ESPERO QUE HAYA ALGUIEN

Antony And The Johnsons - Hope there's someone
Espero que haya alguien
Que cuide de mí
Cuando muera, cuando me vaya

Espero que haya alguien
Que libere mi corazón
Que le guste sostenerlo cuando esté cansado

Hay un fantasma en el horizonte
Cuando me vaya a la cama
¿Cómo podré dormir por la noche? ¿Cómo descansará mi cabeza?

Estoy asustado del lugar que hay
Justo entre la luz y ninguna parte
No quiero ser el elegido
Allí abandonado....

Hay un hombre en el horizonte
Que desea que me acueste
Si sucumbo a sus pies esta noche



Permitirá que descanse mi cabeza

Así que hay una esperanza de que no me asfixie
O de que quede paralizado por la luz
Y como un regalo caído del cielo, no quiero irme
Al final del horizonte

Espero que haya alguien
Que cuide de mí
Cuando yo muera, cuando yo parta

Espero que haya alguien
Que libere mi corazón
Y que me abrace cuando esté cansado…

Play "Hope there's some…"

This is, by far, Tim's most underrated track. And it's easily one of my favorites.
Brilliance at its finest. Rest well, Tim. <3

The Mr.W Channel

So is “dear boy”

Maisha

Why all the hate? This is one of Tim's most beautiful and emotional pieces. He did a wonderful job and really did justice to the original song, in my opinion.

홍길동

Totally agree with your opinion.
Can hear his songs during my twenty's was an amazing grace,
He was saved my life.

This song is always underrated to me. Really one of the best songs in the album. Pretty got shocked when I've heard it on Sense8 because it's barely known by everyone.

Jon

Not only one of Tim’s most underrated songs but one of the most underrated cover versions of any song ever done. There I said it.
