Imagine Dragons – Lost Cause Lyrics 9 years ago
Not to be depressing...
This song makes me think of someone who is extremely depressed or considering suicide. They don't fit in socially, and haven't had enough good experiences in life.
There's that one person who knows them and cares for them, but they passed away. They had told the person to not think of themselves like that, to push away such bad thoughts and ideas. But after dying, the person was so sorrowful that those words were forgetten.
The person is alone, thinking to themselves about how useless they are. As they only dig themselves deeper, memories of the one who cared for them come back.
Deep down they want to listen to them and continue for them, but it's just not possible. The song ends with them "sinking helplessly" into what seems to be their shallow grave.
The whole time they've been begging for it all to just be over, for someone to put them out of their misery.
And since the one who understands will be with them when they die, they make the final decision. They know they are nothing to anyone else, and will at least be with the one they care for.
Well... That's what I think of.
