Lyric discussion by mika1998 

Cover art for The River lyrics by Imagine Dragons

Ive got a different idea That is he is selfish really inside but not showing it outside bcuz everytime he tries to be for himself n work for himself a feeling tells him that is wrong a sense of helping others ro reach their purpose so he says reach to himself, n reaching is not bad, n that he cleanse in the river but not for himself he does it for anyone but himself n thats where he is telling himself to stop that, he says u hv doubts but u gotta start being for urself , u gotta show that not just think that way N at last lines when it says dont give up on me i think he means that im putting my effort for others but its time to reach my own goal n asks others not to give up on him n his abilities I love imagine dragons n i believe every concept suits differing from one person to another.
