Cover art for Believer lyrics by Imagine Dragons

This is my interpretation First verse: I’m gonna say everything I’m thinking because I’ve kept it bottled up for so long don’t tell me what i should be peoples stereotypes and expectations don’t define me Pre chorus : I had a lot of problems when I was younger and I would take my problems to people. I would write for the few people that looked at me and cared about me Singing about my heart ache I’m taking my message from inside/my heart talking about what’ve learned and seeing the best things from the worse Chorus:pain made me see the good things even in the worst of times somethings that break me down such as pain still build me up my love my life and my drive all came from pain Verse 2: send a pray to the people in heaven that are no longer with us and thank them for the impact the have had in your life and try to avoid all the hate you have heard and be peaceful like a dove (states in the about doves being the sign of peace Pre chorus:I was a regular person dreaming about a different life and I started falling down I was hoping my feeling would go away but the didn’t and then it caused me pain because I kept them bottled up Bridge: last thing the grace of the Holy Spirit (in the church they consider fire and flames a sign of the Holy Spirit) is the future and the thing that keeps me alive and my feelings being bottled up finally effected me
