Fallen
Imagine Dragons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Run for cover, my sense of fear is running thin
Undercover, just like a candle in the wind

Tell everybody, tell everybody
Brothers, sisters, the ending is coming

Oh, we are fallen, we are fallen
Oh, we are fallen, we are fallen
Now we're just gonna ride it out

Every morning, I'm staring shadows in the eye
Oh good morning, will you just wait until I die?

Tell everybody, tell everybody
Brothers, sisters, the ending is coming

Oh, we are fallen, we are fallen
Oh, we are fallen, we are fallen
Now we're just gonna ride it out

Tell everybody, tell everybody
Tell everybody, we are fallen
Oh, we are fallen, we are fallen
Oh, we are fallen, we are fallen
Now we're just gonna ride it out

I just want to take it in
Even when your fire runs out




Will you start it up again?
We are fallen

Overall Meaning

The song “Fallen” by Imagine Dragons is a song about despair and acceptance. The repeated line, “Oh, we are fallen, we are fallen,” speaks to a sense of powerlessness and defeat, while the lyrics “Run for cover, my sense of fear is running thin” and “Every morning, I’m staring shadows in the eye” describe a struggle to cope with the weight of the world.


The lyrics also address the idea of impending doom, with the lines “Tell everybody, tell everybody / Brothers, sisters, the ending is coming.” The song acknowledges that the end is near and encourages us to face it together.


The chorus, “Now we’re just gonna ride it out” seems to acknowledge that there’s nothing much we can do but accept the inevitable and do our best to survive. However, there’s also a sense of hopefulness in the line “Will you start it up again?” which suggests that even when we’re fallen, there’s always the possibility of rising back up and beginning anew.


Overall, “Fallen” is a powerful song that captures the human struggle to come to terms with the ups and downs of life. It acknowledges the pain and the difficulty, but also offers a glimmer of hope for the future.


Line by Line Meaning

Run for cover, my sense of fear is running thin
I am scared and need to hide from something, but my fear is starting to dwindle


Undercover, just like a candle in the wind
I am hiding from whatever I fear, like a flame flickering in the wind


Tell everybody, tell everybody
Spread the message far and wide


Brothers, sisters, the ending is coming
Alert to all, the end is approaching and we must prepare


Oh, we are fallen, we are fallen
We have succumbed to whatever fate has befallen us


Now we're just gonna ride it out
We must weather the consequences and persevere


Every morning, I'm staring shadows in the eye
I confront my fears every day


Oh good morning, will you just wait until I die?
I feel like my fear will never truly leave me


Tell everybody, tell everybody
Spread the message far and wide


Brothers, sisters, the ending is coming
Alert to all, the end is approaching and we must prepare


Oh, we are fallen, we are fallen
We have succumbed to whatever fate has befallen us


Now we're just gonna ride it out
We must weather the consequences and persevere


Tell everybody, tell everybody
Spread the message far and wide


Tell everybody, we are fallen
We must make it known that we are struggling with our situation


Oh, we are fallen, we are fallen
We have succumbed to whatever fate has befallen us


Now we're just gonna ride it out
We must weather the consequences and persevere


I just want to take it in
I want to absorb and come to terms with what has happened


Even when your fire runs out
Even when you feel like you can't go on


Will you start it up again?
Can you summon the strength to continue?


We are fallen
We have been knocked down and are struggling

CONTEXTO:

La canción toma en cuenta algunos puntos religiosos, ya que después de deslindarse de la religión se siente "expulsado del paraíso".
Pareciendo que ha caído, al igual que otros no creyentes. "Somos parte de los caídos, ahora solo tendremos que lidiar con ello".
Según información de su club de fans, Dan Reynolds fue expulsado de su comunidad religiosa después de mencionar muchos errores en ella, y de sostener relaciones amorosas con una persona que no era parte de su congregación, lo cuál también le costó sus estudios en la universidad religiosa.

Puedes asumir tus errores con orgullo buscando la gloria en ellos, o puedes tomar tus errores como una culpa que te consume.
Ninguna de las dos es correcta y las vivirás alguna vez. La canción habla de eso, todos se enterarán de lo que hiciste mal.
Te juzgarán por ello, así que, al final importa lo que tú creas correcto, porque para todo el mundo serás un descarriado. ¿Así que importa si se enteran?
