Overall Meaning

"Believer" by Imagine Dragons is a song that captures the essence of struggle and personal growth. The lyrics of the song speak about the singer's past experiences of pain and how he had to overcome them to become a "believer".


The first verse talks about the singer's desire to express his thoughts and feelings, which he's been holding back, and how he's tired of his current situation. He is determined to take control of his life and sail through it. In the second verse, he talks about how he was broken from a young age and had to take his emotions to the masses, writing poems for the few that cared. He sings about how he learned to speak from the pain and the lessons he learned from his past.


The chorus of the song highlights how the pain he endured throughout his life made him a believer. He refers to the person responsible for his pain as the reason for his transformation. The third verse speaks about the importance of prayer, sending it up to the ones above, and how all the hate he has heard turned his spirit from an aggressive bird to a peace-loving dove.


Overall, the song is about overcoming trauma, pain, and struggle while never losing faith in oneself.

It is time to repent!
It is time to BORN AGAIN!
It is time to reject all sins!
it is time to pick up your cross and follow the one who redeems your soul.
This world serves BAAL, why you want to do the same?
Are your eyes still blind, that you see not, all the idols of yours are showing off freemasonry hand signs?, neither do you see the clear signs of being inverted? Publicly known as being trans. All the idols of yours, you hear them as a deaf or actually taking a listen?
GOD – the creator exist and god of this world exist also.
One redeems, the other deceives. Between these 2 a choosing is to make, WHOM SHALL WE SERVE?
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.


To the lgbtq++++:
the lgbtq++ club/cult became to be, because of the masons depopulation agendas. search about them. Judge based on knowledge not based on feelings. feelings lie, humans understandings are false. opinions useless. TRUTH alone is what always stays mattering.

Primeiras coisas primeiro
Vou dizer todas as palavras dentro da minha cabeça
Estou entusiasmado e cansado do caminho
Que as coisas têm sido, oh-ooh
A maneira como as coisas têm sido, oh-ooh
Segundas coisas em segundo lugar
Não me diga o que você acha que eu poderia ser
Sou eu que estou navegando, sou o mestre do meu mar, oh-ooh
O mestre do meu mar, oh-ooh

Eu estava quebrado desde muito jovem
Levando meu mau humor para as massas
Escrevendo meus poemas para poucos
Aquele olhar para mim, me pegou, me sacudiu, me sentindo
Cantando de mágoa da dor
Tirando minha mensagem das veias
Falando minha lição do cérebro
Vendo a beleza através do

Dor!
Você me fez um, você me fez um crente, crente
Dor!
Você me destrói e me constrói, crente, crente
Dor!
Oh, deixe as balas voarem, oh, deixe-as chover
Minha vida, meu amor, meu impulso, veio de
Dor!
Você me fez um, você me fez um crente, crente

Terceiras coisas em terceiro
Envie uma oração para aqueles que estão lá em cima
Todo o ódio que você ouviu
Transformou seu espírito em uma pomba, oh-ooh
Seu espírito lá em cima, oh-ooh

Eu estava sufocando no meio da multidão
Construindo minha chuva na nuvem
Caindo como cinzas no chão
Esperando que meus sentimentos se afogassem
Mas eles nunca viveram, sempre viveram, vazando e fluindo
Inibido, limitado
Até que quebrou e choveu
E choveu, como

Dor!
Você me fez um, você me fez um crente, crente
Dor!
Você me destrói e me constrói, crente, crente
Dor!
Oh, deixe as balas voarem, oh, deixe-as chover
Minha vida, meu amor, meu impulso, veio de
Dor!
Você me fez um, você me fez um crente, crente

As últimas coisas duram
Pela graça do fogo e das chamas
Você é a cara do futuro
O sangue em minhas veias, oh-ooh
O sangue em minhas veias, oh-ooh
Mas eles nunca viveram, sempre viveram, vazando e fluindo
Inibido, limitado
Até que quebrou e choveu
E choveu, como

Dor!
Você me fez um, você me fez um crente, crente
Dor!
Você me destrói e me constrói, crente, crente
Dor!
Oh, deixe as balas voarem, oh, deixe-as chover
Minha vida, meu amor, meu impulso, veio de
Dor!
Você me fez um, você me fez um crente, crente

First things first
Can you imagine what's about to happen?
It's Weezy the Dragon, I link with the Dragons
And we gon' get ratchet, no need for imaginin'
This is what's happenin'
Second thing second, I reckon immaculate
Sound about accurate
I know that strength, it don't come, don't come without strategy
I know the sweet, it don't come without cavities
I know the passages come with some traffic
I start with from the basement, end up in the attic
And third thing third
Whoever call me out, they simply can't count
Let's get mathematic, I'm up in this, huh
Is you a believer?
I get a unicorn out of a zebra
I wear my uniform like a tuxedo
This dragon don't hold his breath, don't need no breather
Love you Ms. Cita, the son of a leader
I know the bloomin' don't come without rain
I know the losin' don't come without shame
I know the beauty don't come without hurt
Hol' up, hol' up, last thing last
I know that Tunechi don't come without Wayne
I know that losin' don't come without game
I know that glory don't come without...
Don't come without...
