Battle Cry
▲Imagine Dragons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll let you know
That all this time I've been afraid
Wouldn't let it show
Nobody can save me now, no
Nobody can save me now
Stars are only visible in darkness
And I, I can poison the skies
And I, I feel so alive
Nobody can save you now
King is crown, it's do or die
Nobody can save you now
The only sound
It's the battle cry
It's the battle cry
It's the battle cry
Nobody can save you now
It's do or die
Nobody can save you now
King is crown, it's do or die
Nobody can save you now
The only sound
It's the battle cry
It's the battle cry
It's the battle cry
Nobody can save you now
It's do or die
Just one more time before I go
I'll let you know
That all this time I've been afraid
Wouldn't let it show
Nobody can save me now, no
Nobody can save me now
The lyrics of "Battle Cry" by Imagine Dragons speak of one's last stand as they face their fears and embrace whatever the outcome might be. The opening lines of the song suggest that the singer is aware that they might not leave alive and are taking one more chance to tell their loved ones of their fear. At this point, they reveal their vulnerability and reluctance to share it with others, implying they have been hiding their fears for some time.
The chorus contains a powerful message of rising above whatever fears one might have and facing the situation with one's head held high. The lines "Nobody can save you now/King is crown, it's do or die" are particularly poignant as it suggests one is no longer waiting for a savior but rather taking the reins and leading the charge themselves. The lyrics "The only sound/It's the battle cry/It's the battle cry/It's the battle cry" encourage the listener to prepare for battle and be ready to face their demons.
Overall, "Battle Cry" is an empowering song that celebrates facing fears and taking a stand against whatever odds that may be against you. It encourages one to take charge of their destiny and stop waiting for someone else to save them.

IMAGINE DRAGONS LYRICS
"Radioactive"
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh
Whoa
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 breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa oh
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
I raise my flag and dye my clothes
It's a revolution, I suppose
We're painted red to fit right in
Whoa oh
I'm breaking in, shaping up, then checking out on the prison bus
This is it, the apocalypse
Whoa oh
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
All systems go, the sun hasn't died
Deep in my bones, straight from inside
I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my system blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive

Honestly, this song is very catchy, but also nostalgic. Because this song has been inside my head for 6 years since the first time I saw this video with the stuff animals. And now, it’s just as awesome as I remember.
