Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you always knew that you'd be the one
That work while they all play
In youth, you'd lay awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change
But it was just a dream
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust
Will come
When you will have to rise
Above the best and prove yourself
Your spirit never dies
Farewell, I've gone to take my throne above
But don't weep for me
'Cause this will be the labor of my love
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust
The song "Warriors" by Imagine Dragons speaks to the resiliency that is required to become successful. It shows the journey of someone who has always felt out of place and is ready to go against the odds to prove themselves. The opening lines capture the idea of someone who was waiting for a chance to show themselves, watch the opportunities flash by, and work hard while others were playing.
In the next verse, the song moves into the journey of the singer's youth, where they understand that they need to work hard to change the world but that most of their ideas were just a dream. However, the song takes a dramatic turn with the chorus, where it showcases how far the singer and others have come to build a new town from the ground up, rise above challenges, and prove themselves in the face of failure.
The song concludes with a goodbye where the singer seems content to leave, knowing that all their hard work has contributed to building a new community. The lyrics, "this will be the labor of my love," reflect that the singer's love for this town and their efforts has allowed them to leave confidently. The song presents a powerful message of perseverance, hard work, courage, and self-belief.
Line by Line Meaning
As a child, you would wait and watch from far away
When you were younger, you used to observe from a distance
But you always knew that you'd be the one
You never doubted that someday, you'd be successful
That work while they all play
You understood the value of hard work while others were enjoying leisure
In youth, you'd lay awake at night and scheme
During your young age, you spent long nights planning
Of all the things that you would change
You envisioned multiple things you would transform
But it was just a dream
Sadly, some of your aspirations were just fantasy
Here we are, don't turn away now (don't turn away)
Now, at a significant moment, don't choose to walk away
We are the warriors that built this town
We are the unbreakable fighters that established this town
From dust
We started humbly and from very little
Will come
Eventually, there'll be a time
When you will have to rise
When there'll be a need to elevate oneself
Above the best and prove yourself
Outshine even the top people and display your capabilities
Your spirit never dies
Your incorruptible willpower continues to persist
Farewell, I've gone to take my throne above
Goodbye, I've gone to achieve my highest position
But don't weep for me
But don't mourn my success
'Cause this will be the labor of my love
Because this is the fruit of my hard work and passion
