Imagine Dragons - 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 mind
Let me write my own line

[Chorus:]
I've got this place
That I've filled with empty space
Oh I'm trying not to face what I've done
My hopeless opus
I'm in this race and I'm hoping just to place
Oh I'm trying not to face what's become of me
My hopeless opus

Hey, Mr. Safe Man, hustle me an okay
I could slide take a dive take it for the home team
Hey, Mr. Postman, slip me one more green note
I've been low hit the floor looking just to make broke
It's not a picture perfect life
Not what I had in mind
Let me write my own line

I've got this place
That I've filled with empty space
Oh I'm trying not to face what I've done
My hopeless opus
I'm in this race and I'm hoping just to place
Oh I'm trying not to face what's become of me
My hopeless opus

Hey, Mr.
Hey, hey Mr.
Hey, Mr. Cage Man
Cherry bomb
Let me get
Ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb

I've got this place
That I've filled with empty space
Oh I'm trying not to face what I've done
My hopeless opus
I'm in this race and I'm hoping just to place
Oh I'm trying not to face what's become of me
My hopeless opus

  4. T.... ....

    0:15 did I just heard a Demoman from Team Fortress 2 getting back stabbed?

  5. M.... H....

    To me this music talks about a criminal who has send to the eletric chair(the guitar sound at the end), and while he is there he is "trying to not to face what he done" and using his imagination to fill the "Place that i've filled with empty space" and imaginating the Cage man, post man, the race and other things, but at the end he
    starts to lost his peace, that's why the lyrics are cutted repeatly, and then commit the crime again in his mind, but at the end he is killed by the chair

  6. P.... S....

    This song makes you relax more then any song.

  7. P.... S....

    I wish I could like this more than once. It brings Dr. Frankenstein to mind for me.

  18. C.... ....

    when he says mr cage man, he also says THERE IS AN ANAGRAM due to imagine dragons being an anagram and in a different song him saying THERE IS NO ANAGRAM

  33. S.... S....

    Liked it man🙌🙌

  34. L.... W....

    This has GOT to be one of Imagine Dragons' *Best* songs!

  35. W.... M....

    Ok, this song is sped up slightly, the one I first listened to was a little slower

  36. T.... W....

    600TH COMMENT IN DA HOUSE

  37. T.... W....

    287 were crying so hard when listening to this beautiful music they hit the wrong button

  38. V.... C....

    Hmmm.....This was a song tribute for Luke Castellan...

  39. W.... ....

    1:25 my favrouite part

  40. C.... E....

    This song hits close to home. Can someone change their fate? Or is everyone's fate sealed?

  41. R.... P....

    C H E R R Y B O M B

  42. �.... ....

    thunder

  43. M.... M....

    Why does it feel sped up?

  44. J.... V....

    Person: I love Imagine Dragons

    Me: OMG THEY'RE AWESOME! I LIKE DREAM, WHO WE ARE, AND I DONT KNOW WHY! WHAT ABOUT YOU?

    Person: Thunder, Beliver, and On top of the world.

    Me: What songs do you know?

    Person: Thunder, Beliver, and On top of the world.

    This happens too much. Also, people talking about how they got here from some TV show, movie, or concert. Real fans won't do that.

    EDIT: By some concert, I mean some person talking about Imagine Dragons in a concert other than Imagine Dragons.

    J.... V....

    *believer

  45. 1.... 3....

    ♡♡♡♡

  46. T.... ....

    THAT GUITAR IS SO.......MMMHHHHHHH YEAH!

  47. O.... ....

    The beginning kinda sounds like a slower Underdogs huhhh???

  48. A.... S....

    I'm convinced these guys are the descendants of actual dragons. There is way too much magic afoot for them to be only human.

  49. K.... R....

    I love the beginning of this song. It’s like your walking through a Vietnamese plateau seeing your brothers in arms, and the man is trying to forget what happened in the war, referring to his dead friends in pictures as mr postman and mr cage man etc.

  50. W.... M....

    The most soothing song in existence...

  51. B.... ....

    Am i the only one who loves all their songs?

  52. L.... T....

    One of their hidden gems

  53. e.... c....

    Imagine dragons is my favorite band

  54. B.... S....

    Me la pongo por la mañana y me da un subidón de los buenos ❤

  55. R.... P....

    CHERRY BOMB

  56. s.... l....

    i used to listen to this song since the day he left me.

  57. C.... T....

    A wrinkle in time

    This is a LYRIC video.

  59. P.... P....

    This is not the original soundtrack. This song seems shitty and altered.

  60. I.... D....

    Hi fellow Imagine Dragons lovers! If you are experiencing a sudden need to hear more ID, as tends to happen when listening to their music, check out some songs from their new album! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a23pKluGxnU&list=PLMS7v8tWIz84_Km17UYhzJBv-auOceRN2

  75. I.... m....

  76. L.... H....

    Imagine Dragons has the second most depressing lyrics (second to Twenty one Pilots) but THEIR MUSIC IS SO GOOD.

    L.... H....

    dear god please tell me a year Later you still don’t think imagine dragons has the “second most depressing lyrics”

  77. S.... B....

    those 214 dislikes, I will find you, and DESTROY you!!!!

  78. C.... W....

    Someone has probably pointed this out already, but...line??? That makes no sense, it's probably life.
    (Sorry for being the downer here. Still a great lyric video!)

  79. P.... G....

    Oh my Goddess!Any Imagine Dragon song pulls me back in time! I LOVE their album Evolve Brightest blessings

  80. d.... e....

    In a way it tells what I'm going through

  81. H.... W....

    This song and Polaroid are literally my personality in a song

  82. B.... R....

    ‼️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎵🎵🎵🖤

  83. B.... R....

    ❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶

  84. J.... R....

    I can't understand what they are saying but it sounds AMAZING so...I'll let it side. Just this once. (Says this but has countless songs they don't understand) :)

  85. K.... ....

    ok its final. imagine dragons cant make a bad song

  86. J.... l....

    1.5 speed.

  87. F.... ....

    At first it sounded like Mickey Mouse in the background XD

  88. s.... ....

    I really love Imagine Dragons!! I saw the number Thunder on TV and now I'm listening to Imagine Dragons everyday!! keep up the good work love you guys!!! <3 ❤️

  89. E.... ....

    hello ppl.

  90. T.... B....

    FYI - This file is sped up, to avoid copyright issues I assume. The actual version is much more pleasing to the ears.

  91. A.... F....

    I don´t understand why they didn´t make an official video for this amazing song

  92. R.... ....

    best song ever

  93. C.... ....

    We are living our own hopeless opus. The life I am living now is not the one that I would have imagined years ago, but it's real and it's mine. The thought makes me both happy and sad, and that's beautiful. The highs and lows are what make life both real and unique.

  94. T.... M....

    This song is music to my ears. Literally and figuratively. It always reminds me of Chris Pratt in Guardians of the Galaxy, tho. Am I the only one?

  95. T.... ....

    I listened exclusively to this version which is slightly faster and slightly off key from the original. This morning I heard the real, authentic version of the song and I flipped out........... The song sounds like completely different

  96. m.... :....

    Did no one notice that the notes are slightly higher than the actual song?

  97. H.... A....

    First time I listened to this song: *Five seconds in* I already hate this song.
    Now: *Five seconds in* This is literally the best song created
