| Imagine Dragons – Hear Me Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
The song is about a guy trying desperately to get a reaction out of his lover. He's depressed, stressed, anxious, and overall in a lot of emotional pain ("I've got a lot that's on my mind, I cannot breathe"). His lover won't listen to him, instead treating the relationship as one of the many fleeting ones she's had ("You kiss and you kiss and you love and you love, you've got a history list...") ("Love is a game to you..."). He threatens suicide to try and make her pay attention to him ("Maybe if I fall asleep I won't breathe right, maybe if I leave tonight I won't come back"). The singer is frustrated and wonders if his suffering is all in his head ("Can you hear it too?") because nobody will listen to him ("Can nobody hear me?"). In the end, he gives up and tries to escape his pain by dismissing it like his lover ("Leave your shoes at the door, baby...come with me and we will run away"). Sad song. Dan Reynolds has struggled with depression and anxiety and it's likely that inspired this song. |
