[Verse 1]
You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know
After tonight, there …

Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
Maria, Maria…
Maria!
I’ve just met a girl named Maria
And …
[Verse 1]
What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …
[Verse 1]
Oh-oh-oh, every little smile hides a little lie
Could cut the silence with a knife
Subatomic bliss is nothing left to miss
It’s just empty Russian roulette

Try to brush it off my …
I know I took the path that you would never want for me1
I know I let you down, didn’t I?2
So many sleepless nights
Where you were waiting up on me3
Well I’m just a slave unto the night
Now remember when I told you that’s the last you’ll see of me4
Remember when I broke you down to tears5
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years6
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you7
I’ve been around the world but never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you8
I’ve told a million lies
But now I tell a single truth
There’s you in everything I do9
Now remember when I told you that’s the last you’ll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
Don’t tell me that I’m wrong
I’ve walked that road before
I left you on your own
And please believe them when they say
That it’s left for yesterday
And the records that I’ve played
Please forgive me for all I’ve done10
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life on you
The singer of Imagine Dragons references his past choices. “You” in this lyric refers to his parents.
Disappointing one’s parents can be a sad matter.
He would come home late after making mistakes, and he would find his parents still awake waiting on him.
After being monitored by his parents for so long, he decided to leave home and become his own decision-maker.
The choice he made to leave was emotionally traumatizing for his parents.
“I gave you hell through all the years” is an indication that Imagine Dragons’ singer regrets putting his parents through so many difficulties.
Now singing from the parents’ perspective, Imagine Dragons communicates how much risk there is in raising a child.
Sometimes after leaving home and becoming “an adult,” people return to their parents, despite having pledged themselves against this very idea upon leaving.
We become our parents to some extent, whether we like it or not. Imagine Dragons is referencing this fact.
This stanza invites the parents to reconcile with their son, since the son is now acknowledging his own shortcomings. It is a suitable invitation to conclude a song about realizing one’s errors and poor decisions and how they affect loved ones.
