The band's single "It's Time", which previously appeared on the "It's Time" and "Continued Silence" EPs in addition to appearing on "Night Visions", is the group's biggest hit, reaching #33 on the Billboard Hot 100.
In a dark kitchen in the middle of a sweaty night in Las Vegas, all 6’4” of Dan Reynolds is hunched over a laptop, slapping beats on the table and crooning lyrics into a tiny microphone. Before long, he and the other three members of indie rock band Imagine Dragons would be playing “It’s Time,” that same laptop-demo-turned-supersized-anthem, from the roof of a parking garage to a wave of thousands of screaming fans. This song title to the single from their 2012 debut KidInaKorner/Interscope release “Continued Silence EP” is an all too apt descriptor of the band’s hard-earned success—but it’s also emblematic of the deep-seated anxiety Reynolds and the rest of the band experienced leaving behind any realistic expectation of a normal job to do the thing they love most.
A third-generation Las Vegas native, Reynolds is no stranger to the adage “the house always wins,” choosing to pave his musical career with a near obsessive work ethic and hundreds of unused demos rather than roll the dice with the first songs that sprung from his mouth. It’s no surprise, then, that he was drawn to guitarist Wayne Sermon, another founding member of Imagine Dragons. Having practically grown up in a recording studio and graduated Berklee College of Music, Wayne had been practicing his guitar through meals and other socially inappropriate situations as long as he could remember; he challenged Dan in a way that was both uncomfortable and exactly what they both needed. When they began writing songs together and recognized something special was happening, Wayne called up his Berklee friend Ben McKee, who promptly dropped out of school with only a few credits left, moving across the country to play bass for the band. This sort of reckless/genius behavior is typical for Ben, who has an uncanny penchant for spicy food and a suitcase full of unbelievable road stories. More recently, the band was joined by drummer Daniel Platzman, another Bostonian schoolmate who seems way too nice to be playing rock and roll until you actually see him in action.
Several tours and three self-released EPs later, Imagine Dragons had made a serious name for itself, particularly in the west coast circuit. Although their songs vary from nearly whimsical and light to brooding and powerful, listeners are drawn to the inherent honesty in the music. The only rule of thumb for the band, it seems, is to write from a true place; the result is songs that literally run the spectrum of human emotion. Attend a concert, and it becomes clear that the live performance of deeply personal songs has a real effect on people. And the band itself is not immune, as demonstrated when Dan literally passed out into the drum set during a finale song, sending cymbals and drum stands crashing while the rest of the band played on until the close.
Great songwriting is bound to be noticed eventually. As proof that the harder you work, the luckier you get, one of those people who noticed was Grammy winning producer Alex da Kid (Eminem, Rihanna). Alex and Dan began collaborating on projects, and soon the band had developed a relationship with Alex and his team. The alchemy resulting from Alex’s hip hop sensibilities and Imagine Dragons’ anthemic rock is nothing short of explosive. The byproduct of this creative collision is “Continued Silence,” a six song in-your-face sonic grenade that breaks musical boundaries and yet is strangely relatable by its improbably diverse audience.
Despite it all, on any given day when they aren’t on the road playing shows, you can still find Imagine Dragons huddled away in a rehearsal room somewhere, banging out song after song in search of the next perfect track. Like most things in Vegas, the band is angled at going big or going bust. For the sake of those who love great music, we hope it’s the former.
"Hear Me"
Imagine Dragons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can leave, now it's your choice
Maybe if I fall asleep, I won't breathe right
Maybe if I leave tonight, I won't come back
I said it before, I won't say it again
Love is a game to you, it's not pretend
Can nobody hear me?
I've got a lot that's on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?
You kiss and you kiss
And you love and you love
You've got a history list and the rest is above
And if you're warm then you can't relate to me
From the floor to the floor
And the sky to the sky
You've got to love and adore and the rest is a lie
And if you're warm, then you can't relate to me
I said it before, I won't say it again
Love is a game to you, let's not pretend
Maybe if I fall asleep, I won't breathe right, right, right
Can nobody hear me?
I've got a lot that's on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?
Leave your shoes at the door, baby
I am all you adore, lately
Come with me and we will run away
Can nobody hear me?
I've got a lot that's on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?
Can nobody hear me?
I've got a lot that's on my mind
I cannot breathe
Can you hear it, too?
The lyrics to Imagine Dragons' song "Hear Me" convey a sense of frustration and desperation as the singer attempts to make their voice heard but feels ignored and suffocated. The repeated plea "Can nobody hear me?" highlights the singer's sense of isolation and the need for connection. The line "Love is a game to you, it's not pretend" suggests that the singer may be addressing someone who they feel does not truly love or value them, and the repetition of the line about falling asleep not breathing right could indicate a struggle with anxiety or fear.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful, as the lyrics build to a crescendo with the repeated plea for someone to hear the singer's thoughts and feelings. The final lines of the song suggest a possible escape and the hope for a better future, with the invitation to "leave your shoes at the door" and "come with me and we will run away."
Overall, "Hear Me" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever felt unheard or smothered by their relationships or circumstances. The raw emotion and vulnerability in the lyrics make this song an instant classic for Imagine Dragons fans and anyone who appreciates heartfelt, honest music.

The Hog Rider is a Rare card that is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a quick building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy.
Strategy
When he is jumping over the river, he cannot be targeted by any ground attacking units. The Log and Earthquake will fail to damage a Hog Rider while he is jumping. Air troops can still attack him though, and the Inferno Tower and Inferno Dragon will continue to ramp up their damage.
When countering Hog Riders, obviously use buildings. But be wary as it the offender would usually play around it with cards such as Earthquake. Air swarms such as Minion Horde can help due to the Hog's usual support tools not countering them.
On the offender's side, a powerful move is to accompany him with an Earthquake, obliterating almost every building, and also grounded swarms. To a lesser extent, Lightning could also be used, retaining the same point of almost destroying every building while also crippling troops such as the Wizard or the Hunter.
The Log could also be an effective first play as a cycle, but it only kills swarms and sometimes a non-center-placed Tombstone.
The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the defender will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, the offender should use a spell like Arrows to render the defender poetically defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is.
A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily.

Intenta oír mi voz
Puedes irte, es tu elección
Tal vez si me duermo, no respiraré bien
Tal vez si me voy esta noche, no volveré
Lo dije antes, no lo volveré a decir
El amor es un juego para ti, no es pretender
Tal vez si me duermo, no respiraré bien
¿Nadie puede oírme?
Tengo muchas cosas en mi mente
No puedo respirar
¿Puedes oírlo también?
Besas y besas
Y tú amas y amas
Tienes una lista de historia
Y el resto está por encima
Y si tienes calor, entonces no puedes identificarte conmigo
Desde el piso hasta el piso
Y el cielo al cielo
Tienes que amar y adorar y el resto es mentira
Y si tienes calor, entonces no puedes identificarte conmigo
Lo dije antes, no lo volveré a decir
El amor es un juego para ti, no es pretender
Tal vez si me duermo, no respiraré bien
¿Nadie puede oírme?
Tengo muchas cosas en mi mente
No puedo respirar
¿Puedes oírlo también?
Deja tus zapatos en la puerta, nena
Soy todo lo que adoras, últimamente
Ven conmigo y huiremos
¿Nadie puede oírme?
Tengo muchas cosas en mi mente
No puedo respirar
¿Puedes oírlo también?
¿Nadie puede oírme?
Tengo muchas cosas en mi mente
No puedo respirar
¿Puedes oírlo también?

Listening to Imagine Dragons is like listening to pure rock and pop put into words. It’s unexplainable how good their songs are. Even their oldest albums have never sounded better. Can’t wait for more songs! ❤
@peacefulwarrior7954
Older songs were much better
@minahilmukhtar2454
I can't believe it's been already 12 years... What a masterpiece.
