Father father father, take me to the top
Oh oh oh oh
Early morning, wake me up
Father father father, this is not enough

Hey
Early evening, settling down
Father father father, who am I to play?
Oh oh oh oh
Early evening, hush me over
Father father father, are we just the same?
Oh oh oh oh

"Underdog" by Imagine Dragons is a song about embracing the underdog status, and seeing it as an opportunity rather than a disadvantage. The chorus repeatedly says, "Hey, that sends my mind up, I get the short end of it, oh I love to be, I love to be the underdog." The verses also feature the theme of being "hushed over" by someone in power, such as a father figure, which could be interpreted as society or forces of oppression. The singer seems to be someone who has often been underestimated or overlooked, but rather than accepting this as defeat, they embrace their status as an underdog and use it as motivation to succeed.
The repetition of "father father father" in the chorus could be interpreted as the desire for guidance or validation from a higher authority. The verses, however, suggest that this authority may not always have the singer's best interests in mind, as they are told to settle down or question if they are "just the same." This could be seen as a reflection on societal norms or expectations that limit individuals who don't fit a certain mold.
Overall, "Underdog" is an empowering anthem for anyone who feels underestimated or marginalized. It encourages people to embrace their unique qualities and use them as tools for success, rather than feeling defeated by society's expectations.

Lyrics:
Don't remind me
I'm mindin' my own damn business
Don't try to find me
I'm better left alone than in this
It doesn't surprise me
Do you really think that I could care
If you really don't like me?
Find somebody else
It could be anyone else out there
Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna miss you again
One thing
When you're angry, you're a jerk
And then you treat me like I'm worth nothin'
Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna miss you again
It'll happen again
I watch it happen over and over again
Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna miss you again
One thing
When you're angry, you're a jerk
And then you treat me like I'm worth nothin'
Don't remind me
I'm mindin' my own damn business
Don't try to find me
I'm better left alone than in this
It doesn't surprise me
Do you really think that I could care
If you really don't like me
Find somebody else
It could be anyone else out there
Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna miss you again
One thing
When you're angry, you're a jerk
And then you treat me like I'm worth nothin'
Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna miss you again
It'll happen again
I watch it happen over and over again
Don't fret
I don't ever wanna see you
And I never wanna miss you again
One thing
When you're angry, you're a jerk
And then you treat me like I'm worth nothin'
