Hope There's Someone
Lonely The Brave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I die, When I go
Hope there's someone who set my heart free
Knows to hold when I'm tired
Cause' there's a ghost on horizon
There when I go to bed
How can I fall to sleep at night?
Oh I'm scared of the many play
Between lie and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there
Cause' there's a man on horizon
Wish that I go to bed
If I fall to his feet tonight
Will I rest my head?
The lyrics to Lonely The Brave's "Hope There's Someone" touch on the universal fear of mortality and the desire for companionship and emotional support during difficult times. The singer expresses a hope that there will be someone who will take care of them after they die and set their heart free. They are scared of the unknown afterlife, represented by the ghost and the man on the horizon, who seem to be looming over them as they try to sleep. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with feelings of isolation and loneliness, and is afraid of being left alone in the afterlife.
The imagery in the song is evocative and haunting, with the ghost and man on the horizon representing the unknown and the fear of death. The lyrics also touch on the theme of duality, with the many plays between lie and nowhere suggesting the idea of two opposing forces at work. The repetition of the lines "How can I fall to sleep at night? How that I'll rest my head?" emphasizes the singer's anxiety and fear, while the final lines suggest a willingness to surrender to the unknown and find peace.
Overall, "Hope There's Someone" is a deeply affecting song that speaks to the human experience of fear, isolation, and the search for meaning and connection in life and death.

Hope there's someone who take care of me
I hope that there is someone who will care for me
When I die, When I go
When I die and leave this world
Hope there's someone who set my heart free
I hope that there is someone who can free me from my burdens
Knows to hold when I'm tired
Someone who knows how to comfort me when I am exhausted
Cause' there's a ghost on horizon
I fear that there is a ghost watching over me and my future
There when I go to bed
I feel its presence most strongly when I go to sleep
How can I fall to sleep at night?
I wonder how I can sleep peacefully with this fear in my mind
How that I'll rest my head?
I wonder if I will ever be able to truly find rest
Oh I'm scared of the many play
I am afraid of the many possibilities and outcomes
Between lie and nowhere
Between the truth and uncertainty
I don't want to be the one
I do not want to be the unfortunate one
Left in there, left in there
Left alone in that place of uncertainty
Cause' there's a man on horizon
There is a man looming in the distance
Wish that I go to bed
I wish that I could avoid him by sleeping
If I fall to his feet tonight
If I encounter him tonight
Will I rest my head?
Will I be able to finally find peace?

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 horizon,
There when I go to bed,
How can I fall asleep at night?
How will I rest my head?
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 horizon,
wish that I go to bed,
if I fall to his feet tonight,
will allow rest my head?
