I was looking for a song to give me a new perspective, to inject the energy that I had lost directly into my veins. I was looking for something new, a song with deep and metaphorical lyrics.
I present to you Imagine Dragons, a band with a questionable number of listenable and likable songs. This is my first time, after Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and Selena Gomez, encountering songs with the ability to vibrate someone’s world.
These are my favorite lines from their songs, in addition to the YouTube links.
I recommend watching this YouTube video from this band:

I’ll try to add to this list over time, so keep checking this post regularly. Also, don’t forget to comment on your favorite lines.
1: Tomorrow‘s never promised
I was born, I was raised for this
2: Pain, you made me a believer
Song: Believer by Imagine Dragons – 2017
3: with the beast inside,
There’s nowhere we can hide,
When you feel my heat, look into my eyes,
It’s where my demons hide
Song: Demons by Imagine Dragons – 2012
4: My heart is cold enough
5: Nothing ever comes without a consequence or cost
That’s the price you pay
Leave behind your heart and cast away
Just another product of today
Cause you’re a natural,
A beating heart of stone
You gotta be so cold, To make it in this world
Song: Natural by Imagine Dragons – 2024
6: Break me down and build me up
Whatever it takes, Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
Hypocritical, egotistical
Don’t wanna be the parenthetical, hypothetical
Working onto something that I’m proud of, out of the box
An epoxy to the world and the vision we’ve lost
I’m an apostrophe
I’m just a symbol to remind you that there’s more to see
I’m just a product of the system, a catastrophe
And yet a masterpiece, and yet I’m half-diseased
And when I am deceased
At least I go down to the grave and die happily, Leave the body and my soul to be a part of thee, I do what it takes
7: I’m waking up to ash and dust
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust
I’m breathing in the chemicals
I’m waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
I’m radioactive
Song: Radioactive by Imagine Dragons – 2012
8: Days pass by and my eyes stay dry, and I think that I’m okay, Till I find myself in conversation, fading away,
They say that the time will heal it, the pain will go away,
But everything, it reminds me of you and it comes in waves
