(Рингтон) 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
There is a certain intensity in the lyrics of "Battle Cry" by Imagine Dragons that you cannot shake off. The song begins with the lines, "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." These lines speak to the fear that the singer of the song has been hiding all this time. However, these emotions cannot be bottled up forever. The chorus of the song then kicks in, and the singer says that nobody can save him now. The stars are visible only in darkness, and fear is always changing and evolving. Poisoning the skies makes the singer feel so alive, and it is this contradiction that brings the depth to the lyrics.
In the second verse, the lines, "Nobody can save you now, king is crown, it's do or die," speak to the fact that the singer recognizes the severity of the situation, and there is no room left for error or indecisiveness. The battle cry, which reverberates throughout the song, is a rallying call to all those involved to do their best, fighting with all their might. At the end of the song, the singer says that nobody can save him now, and it is the time to grab life by the horns, and go all in.
Overall, "Battle Cry" speaks to the idea that we must confront our fears head-on, and never back down in the face of adversity. The song uses the powerful metaphor of battle to describe the intensity of the emotions that it brings forth.

Just one more time before I go
This is my last chance to say this
I'll let you know
I want to inform you
That all this time I've been afraid
I have been scared for a long time
Wouldn't let it show
I didn't want anyone to see it
Nobody can save me now, no
I am beyond help
Stars are only visible in darkness
Good things can come out of bad situations
Fear is ever-changing and evolving
Fear can take on many forms
And I, I can poison the skies
I am capable of causing great harm
And I, I feel so alive
I feel powerful and invigorated
Nobody can save you now
There is no help available for you
King is crown, it's do or die
This is a critical moment where you must act decisively
The only sound
The only thing you will hear
It's the battle cry
It's time to fight
It's the battle cry
It's time to fight
It's the battle cry

I have been scared for a long time
Wouldn't let it show
I didn't want anyone to see it
Nobody can save me now, no
I am beyond help
