| Imagine Dragons – On Top of the World Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
In my opinion the song is actually about someone who finally found the love of his/her life. Of course, I'd agree with the more general interpretations of someone who found his/her purpose in life, as well, but given the first sentence in particular, I'd say that it refers more to love in particular. ("If you love somebody Better tell them while they’re here ’cause"). The singer explains that he finally found the love of his life and that he is more than happy, in other words "on top of the world". He has been waiting for that for ages and been through some pretty tough times without any perspective of finding someone. "Paying my dues to the dirt", meaning in this context that he was very low, very close to the ground, in a very bad state, at some point, but then he pulled himself together again ("it's a long way up when you hit the ground", "get up now") and finally found someone whom he either already told already or still wants to tell. This song is so cheerful and really reflects how I feel when I have (at least) a crush on someone! :-) |
