Roots
KITCHEN - Imagine Dragons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't throw stones at me
Don't tell anybody
Trouble finds me
All the noise of this
Has made me lose my belief

I'm going back to my roots
Another day, another door
Another high, another low
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
I'm going back to my roots
Another day, another door
Another high, another low
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
I'm going back to my roots

Had to lose my way
To know which road to take
Trouble found me
All I look forward
Washed away by a wave

I'm going back to my roots
Another day, another door
Another high, another low
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
I'm going back to my roots
Another day, another door
Another high, another low
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
I'm going back to my roots

I know it's gotta go like this, I know
Hell will always come before you grow
Trouble found me, trouble found me
I know it's gotta go like this, I know
Hell will always come before you grow
Trouble found me, trouble found me

I'm going back to my roots
Another day, another door
Another high, another low
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
I'm going back to my roots
Another day, another door
Another high, another low




Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
I'm going back to my roots

Trouble
Blood is in the rocky waters
Hide away your sons and daughters
Eat you alive
Levels
Better put your head on swivels
Dancing with the very devil
Butter to knife
You think you're better than them
Better than them
You think they're really your friends
Really your friends
But when it comes to the end
To the end
You're just the same as them
Same as them (ha ha ha ha ha)
So let it go, let it go
That's the way that it goes
First you're in, then you're out
Everybody knows
You're hot, then you're cold
You're a light in the dark
Just you wait and you'll see
That you're swimmin' with sharks
He's comin' to get you
(Chick, chicka) woo, woo
He's comin' to get you, get
(Chicka) woo
Bubbles
Drownin', you're seein' doubles
Don't you let 'em see your struggles
Hiding your tears
Crisis
Take advantage off your niceness
Cut you up in even slices
Prey on your fears
You think you're better than them
Better than them (you think you're better)
You think they're really your friends
Really your friends (really)
But when it comes to the end
To the end (oh, no)
You're just the same as them
Same as them (ha ha ha ha ha)
So let it go, let it go
That's the way that it goes
First you're in, then you're out
Everybody knows (ooh)
You're hot, then you're cold
You're a light in the dark
Just you wait and you'll see
That you're swimmin' with sharks
he's comin' to get you
(Don't take it from me) woo, woo
(My blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you, get
(Don't take it from me)
(My blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you
(Don't take it from me) woo, woo
(My blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you, get
(Don't take it from me)
Every time my heart is beating, I can feel the recipe
I wonder if my day is coming, blame it on the entropy
My blood is pumping, I can see the end is right in front of me
Don't take it from me, I could be everything, everything
(Sharks)
Don't take it from me
My blood is pumping, my blood is pumping (sharks)
Don't take it from me, I could be everything, everything
So let it go, let it go
That's the way that it goes
First you're in, then you're out
Everybody knows
You're hot, then you're cold
You're a light in the dark
Just you wait and you'll see
That you're swimmin' with sharks
he's comin' to get you
(Don't take it from me) woo, woo
(My blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you, get
(Don't take it from me)
(My blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you
(Don't take it from me) woo, woo
(My blood is pumping) he's comin' to get you, get
(Don't take it from me)

Sharks is a song about liars, and this video perfectly captures it.

The overall theme of this video is heist-styled, but they're not actually stealing anything - they're letting sharks loose. Stealthy heists are compiled of lies so no one knows that anything is being stolen or messed with. But why set loose sharks? Because sharks, in terms of lyrics, are liars. Liars who would try to stop anything that gets in their way, like how sharks set prey on the first person they see, especially if the person panics. By letting sharks loose, Dan Reynolds has released lies to the world - and with that many sharks, the lies are unstoppable.

The video begins with Reynolds planning with his team - what facts would cause the lie to fail, and what would support it. Then comes the distractions - whether it's drugging the camera guy, engaging some guards in a conversation, or causing a ruckus to clear a pathway, these actions distract those who have the highest chance of exposing the lie.

A notable moment is the bridge, where Reynolds sneaks through a bunch of lasers. It's a high-tension moment, as one wrong move can already ruin the whole scheme. Reynolds is forced to make absurd moves - or, conceptually, stretch the truth in wild ways - to finally set loose the sharks.

In the end, this video is not just a heist story - it's a metaphorical showcase of how one lie can set loose more. And it's amazingly made, I can tell you that.
