@[ScarScar99:6670] I disagree because I have both of those illnesses and it doesn't sound quite the same. Just my opinion. :)

Imagine Dragons – Monster Lyrics 10 years ago
I see this song as a person being abnormal and being so terrified to show it to society that it builds up inside and creates a hate-filled... well, monster. They become so isolated that it just keeps growing and they're too scared to tell anyone because they think they'd be labeled as a freak so they try to be normal and fake it but they hated being 'a pretender' and having to act as someone so very different than what they truly are. They begin to think it's their fault. It seems like a horrible trait to them so they're afraid to show people the real, true, flawed but somehow perfect person they really are.

Imagine Dragons – America Lyrics 10 years ago
"Is this just an illusion
That I made inside my head to get me by?"

Referring to how traumatizing this experience was.

"Twenty years in debt
Twenty years in the government
Twenty years can never get me by"

It takes 20 years of serving in the army to earn retirement. Therefore, they were in 20 tears of debt in the government.

"Then I feel you close
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Believe in you"

Feelings of missing a loved one while serving. You're feeling them next to you even when they're not.

"Rise to the top of the world, America
America, don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
Rise to the top of the world, America
America, don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on"

Family, loved ones, ect. are encouragement to push though and tough it out.

"From farmers in the fields"

I think ID is referring to early army soldiers because the following statements are about previous milestones for the US:

"To the tallest of the towers that fall and rise"

The twin towers on 9- 11 ;~;

"1-7-7-6, The names upon the list"

1776 was the year we declared independence and the names upon the list are all the men who signed the document.

"For all the ones that gave until they died"

The list was not in vain, for all the ones who fought for our independence had died, but gave for our country.

I don't fully understand the :

"Don't you hold back
I can see in your mind, and your mind will set you free"

But I think it means that you can't give half effort for something you committed to (?) I dunno..
