I don't think there is any meaning to this song except for what is there at face value. I have a few friends who are in love and were reciting the lyrics to each other and that's when I realized the sweetness of the lyrics. Just imagine playing around for a summer day with your love and coming back bruised and tending to that person that you love. It's beautiful, and simple. |

| Antony and the Johnsons – Hope There's Someone Lyrics

I don't think it's so much his fear of death as it is more his fear of dying alone. And not necessarily without a love partner, but more just a life partner, if that makes sense. It's a crying out for someone to care about him enough to save him from getting stuck in that in between place. I think he just wants someone to be his confidante, of sorts. And it's almost like he's saying that if you have that then death doesn't seem to be nearing at the pace that it always is, if you have that someone death is no longer an impending part of the equation. I think the line "Hope there's someone who'll set my heart free/Nice to hold when I'm tired" and "How can I fall asleep at night/How will I rest my head?" Just shows his yearning for someone to take his worries from him, when worries sometimes can feel physical. I think he just feels alone, and wants someone to listen to him. To patch him up when he needs it. Or at least that's what I think. |
