Imagine Dragons: Hopeless Opus Meaning

Hopeless Opus Lyrics

Hey Mr. cage man, let me get a fresh breath
Cherry bomb head strong I could fake my own death
Hey Mr. fate man, shuffle me a ninth life
I've been wrong, go long
Throwing me a sharp right
It's not a picture perfect life
Not what I had in...

   I think this song might mean different things for different people. Some people might think it's about facing up to mistakes ("what I've done") or having no regrets in life (shuffle me a nineth life"). Every person brings a different set of feelings and experiences to a song.

   I think what the artist is trying to say here is, he is trying to predict or "write his own life" or even just trying to reach a level of greatness: "I'm in this race and I'm hoping just to place." "It's not a picture perfect life" This probably means his life did not turn out what he wanted it to be, going through the twists and turns of life: "...Throwing me a sharp right..." Also he might be looking for a chance to prove himself to the world: "Hey Mr. safe man hustle me an okay I could slide take a dive take it for the home team..." There are a lot of key points in this song, but mostly it probably about him trying to write his own life.

   I thinks it's about someone running away from their problems. "Trying not to face what I've done."
