Hope There's Someone
Avicii ft Linnea Henriksson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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?
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!
The lyrics to Avicii feat. Linnea Henriksson's song "Hope There's Someone" depict the singer's fears and uncertainties about life and death. She hopes that someone will take care of her when she dies and set her heart free. There's a sense of longing for comfort and security, yet the singer is haunted by the unknown, represented by the "ghost on the horizon."
The middle place between light and nowhere is a metaphor for the afterlife or possibly even purgatory. The singer is afraid of being left in this place alone. She is looking for assurance that someone will be there for her, even in death.
The chorus repeats the singer's fears and hopes in different ways. She is scared of the unknown, the seals of war through shame, and the godsend she doesn't want to go to. But she hopes that there's someone who will allow her to rest her head, to find peace even in the face of the unknown.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of vulnerability and a longing for connection, even in the face of death. It's a reminder of the importance of human connection and the comfort that it can provide, even when facing life's biggest uncertainties.
