Lifelines
a-ha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One time, to know that it's real
One time, to know how it feels
That's all

One call, your voice on the phone
One place, a moment alone
That's all
What do you see?
What do you know?
One sign, what'll I do?
Just follow your lifeline through

What if it hurts, what then?
What do we do, what do you say?
Don't throw your lifeline away

Don't throw your lifeline away

One time, just once in my life
Yeah one time, to know it can't happen twice
One shot on a clear blue sky
One look, I see the reasons why you cared

One chance to get back to the point where everything starts
One chance to keep it together
Things fall apart

One sign to make us believe it's true
What do you see, where do we go?
One sign, how do we grow?
By letting your lifeline show

What if we do, what now?
What do you say, how do I know?
Don't let your lifeline go





Don't let your lifeline go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to a-ha's song Lifelines describe the importance of seizing opportunities and cherishing them. The singer emphasizes the significance of taking advantage of the present moment because it can be fleeting and is something that cannot be replicated or guaranteed. The lyrics encourage listeners to follow their own lifelines and not to give up on them, even in the face of uncertainty, because they are what guide us towards a meaningful existence. The singer also acknowledges the possibility of pain and challenges that come with taking risks, but argues that the potential rewards in pursuing an authentic and fulfilling life are worth the risk.


This song can be interpreted as a reminder to not take life for granted and to make the most of every opportunity, even if it may be scary or uncomfortable. It is a call to action to be present, take risks, and not let fear or doubt hold us back in pursuit of our goals and desires.

Однажды понять, что это правда.
Однажды ощутить это.
Вот и всё.
Один звонок — твой голос на том конце провода.
Одно место — момент одиночества.
Вот и всё.

Что ты видишь?
Что ты знаешь?
Один знак
Что я делаю?
Просто следуй своим линиям жизни.
Что ты ненавидишь?
Что потом?
Что мы делаем?
Что ты говоришь?
Не отклоняйся от своих линий жизни.

Не отклоняйся от своих линий жизни..

Однажды, всего лишь один раз в моей жизни,
Однажды узнать, что это может случиться дважды.
Одна фотка чистого голубого неба.
Один взгляд — не вижу причины почему нет.
Один шанс вернуться
К тому месту, где всё начинается.
Один шанс сохранить вместе то,
Что распадается на части.
Однажды я заставлю нас поверить что это правда.

Что ты видишь?
Куда мы идём?
Один знак
Кем мы становимся,
Читая свою линию жизни?
Что если мы сделаем? Что сейчас?
Что ты говоришь?
Откуда мне знать?
Не упусти свою линию жизни
Не упусти свою линию жизни
Не упусти свою линию жизни

One time, to know that it's real
One time, to know how it feels
That's all
One call, your voice on the phone
One place, a moment alone
That's all

What do you see?
What do you know?
What are the signs?
What do I do?
Just follow your lifeline through
What if it hurts?
What then?
What do we do?
What do you say?
Don't throw your lifelines away
Don't throw your lifelines away

One time, just once in my life
Yeah, one time, to know it can happen twice
One shot, of a clear blue sky
One look, I see no reasons why we can't
One chance to be back to the point where everything starts
One chance to keep it together
Things fall apart
Once I make us believe it's true

What do you see?
Where do we go?
What are the signs?
How do we grow?
By letting your lifeline show
What if we do?
What up to now?
What do you say?
How do I know?
Don't let your lifeline go
Don't let your lifeline go
Don't let your lifeline go
