| Imagine Dragons – Demons Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| This is one of the most candid pop-rock songs I've heard. To me, this song is a vivid portrayal of the unescapable imperfections or "demons" the everyone faces. The man is trying to tell the other that he's not what he thought he was and he is desperate to find away out of his personal cage. | |
| Imagine Dragons – Round and Round Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
The Imagine Dragon’s song Round and Round relates the authors hardship in finding a purpose in life, while observing the falseness of the lives around him. In a way that neither condemns nor agrees, he tells how many live their lives lying to themselves thinking they are more than what they truly are. “We think we're making our own way”. Here, he relates the error in feeling in control of one’s life telling how people are all born with the same mindset, and are “all living the same way”, and they can’t escape it. In addition, he sarcastically points out the falsehood in self-righteousness. “You don’t have to hold your head up high”. Although he is critical of people around him, the tone of the song indicates he is simply disappointed and wants more. Although his inclination is to hide from the truth he decides to confront it. “I won’t run away this time, till you show me what this life is for”. His persistence is truly what sets him apart from others. While everyone else abandoned hope of finding what was real, thus becoming callous to their doubts, he sought to answer these questions even though it meant perseverance and waiting. Basically, the song tells people that if one doesn’t seek answers and face the darkness in life, they end up living a lie. |
