[Verse 1]
Better days are comin’, if no one told you
I hate to hear you cryin’, over the phone, dear
For seven years runnin’, you’ve been a soldier
[Pre-Chorus]
But better days are comin’
Better …
[Verse 1]
There is a promised land waiting for me
Sometimes there’s an ocean that lies in between
I’ll keep on traveling the pathway You’ve been
‘Til I’m right where You want me, that’s …
[Verse 1]
Change came like a hurricane
2020 hit us differently
And even though I didn’t want it
This old life got a hold of me
How to float when there’s no control?
Feeling life or …
[Verse 1: Conan Gray]
Make myself feel more at home
I want to be the guy who loves the girl
The girl in the movies
Well, she don’t want me
She wants him and not …
[Chorus]
All the niggas who played with me who dead, them niggas ain’t want to live (No)
She gave me head and that head was givin’ what it’s supposed to give
I came …
[Verse 1]
I’m waking up to ash and dust 37
I wipe my brow and I sweat my rust 38
I’m breathing in the chemicals 39
I’m breaking in, shaping up, checking out on the prison bus 40
This is it, the apocalypse, whoa 41
[Chorus]
I’m waking up, I feel it in my bones 42
Enough to make my systems blow 43
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age 44
Whoa, whoa, I’m radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, whoa, I’m radioactive, radioactive 45
[Verse 2]
I raise my flags, dye my clothes
It’s a revolution, I suppose 46
We’ll paint it red to fit right in 47
Whoa
I’m breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
All systems go, sun hasn’t died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside 48
[Chorus]
8Imagine Dragons talks about the situation that he finds himself in, which is a mess and he begins to pick up himself. It can also mean that like a phoenix he is reborn or it is the aftermath of an explosion after a war.
Due to the intensity of the work he wipes his brow to show how hard and manual the work is. He compares his body to a machine that is rusty or worn out. It can also mean that his blood is contaminated because blood is made partly of iron and when iron is exposed to air it oxidizes.
He then talks of today’s situation in the world where there is pollution everywhere. He can also be meaning that he is inhaling chemicals from the explosion and it can also be interpreted that he is smoking some drug.
Imagine Dragons sees his life as one of slavery and he is thinking of finding away to leave it. Prisoners are normally taken out of prison to work on some land somewhere, so he is rebelling and refusing to go and do that work. It can also be a line to mean a breakaway from monotony.
He then says that it is time for a revolution, which can be as catastrophic as an apocalypse.
Imagine Dragons sings that he can feel the change coming from inside and out.
Imagine Dragon once again compares his body to that of a machine by calling it a system. So deep is the intensity of the awakening that it all makes him feel like he will explode.
He welcomes all to the new reality. It can be taken to mean the aftermath of the explosion but new age is also the in thing when it comes to spirituality.
He sings that after exposure to the chemicals either by breathing or eating he is now radioactive meaning that he is dangerous and should be avoided. It can also mean that the awakening that he was feeling earlier is contagious.
Imagine Dragons talks of fitting in into the revolution as per the beliefs of other people. He uses raising the flag to mean that the rebellion is on just like soldiers raise their flags when at war. Dyeing his clothes is used symbolically to mean that he is changing into clothes more fitting for a war or a revolution.
Imagine Dragons uses red which is the colour that is associated with communism and rebellion a lot. He could be saying that he now understands, why the need for rebellion and will work to fit in and not to standout.
Imagine Dragons sings of hope here, the sun has always been used to portray a better day. So he says there is still some inspiration that he can feel within and he will continue fighting. Being able to see the sun may also mean that the dust has settled and it is time to rebuild.
