Love
Imagine Dragons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a long time coming, coming
Seeming like we all been running, running
Feeling like the wild west, gunning, gunning
Listen to our elders shunning, shunning
Flipping on the news, be talking, talking
All about the problems, shocking, shocking
We put on our headphones walking, walking
We put on our headphones

Where did we all go wrong?
Love, love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Where did we all, where did we all go wrong?

All we see is faces, color, color
All the other races, other, other
Why can't you just be my brother, brother?
We don't have to kill one another, kill one another
All around the world, we are one, we are one
All around the world, we are one

So where did we all go wrong?
Love, love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Where did we all, where did we all go wrong?
Love, love, love, love (as darkness will throw the dawn)
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love (love is our only hope)
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love
Where did we all, where did we all go wrong?

'Cause we got the same blood, blood
We got the same blood, blood
But will it be enough, 'nuff?
Will it be enough?
We got the same heartbeat
We're living for the same dreams
We got the same bloodstream
Where did we all go wrong? (Oh, woo)

Where did we all, where did we all go wrong?
Love, love, love, love (as darkness will throw the dawn)
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love (love is our only hope)
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love, oh
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love

Where did we all, where did we all go wrong?
Where did we all, where did we all?
Where did we all, where did we all? (Oh)
Where did we all, where did we all?
Where did we all, where did we all go wrong?
Love, love, love (where did we all, where did we all?)




Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love (where did we all, where did we all?)
Lo-lo-lo-love, love, love (where did we all, where did we all?)

Overall Meaning

The song "Love" by Imagine Dragons talks about the state of the world and society today. It begins with the acknowledgement that there are many problems in the world and it seems like we're all just running from them. The most poignant line is when the singer asks, "Where did we all go wrong?" It's clear from the tone that the band is frustrated and deeply concerned about the division and violence in the world.


The lyrics go on to suggest that love is the answer to the problems we face. The verses address issues of race and violence, urging listeners to see everyone as brothers and sisters, and to embrace our common humanity. The chorus repeats the question, "Where did we all go wrong?" and follows it with the assertion that "love is our only hope."


The bridge of the song really drives the point home, emphasizing that we all have the same blood and the same dreams. It ends with the question, "Will it be enough?" suggesting that this message of love and unity may not be able to truly bridge the divides that exist in society.


Overall, the song is a powerful call to action, urging listeners to embrace love as the solution to the problems of the world. Its upbeat tempo and catchy melody make it a great listen, but its message is what really makes it stand out.
