Believer
Kaskade Imagine Dragons Lyrics

I'ma say all the words inside my head
I'm fired up and tired of the way that things have been, oh ooh
The way that things have been, oh ooh
Second thing second
Don't you tell me what you think that I can be
I'm the one at the sail, I'm the master of my sea, oh ooh
The master of my sea, oh ooh
I was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Write down my poems for the few
That looked at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me
Singing from heartache from the pain
Taking my message from the veins
Speaking my lesson from the brain
Seeing the beauty through the

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer

Third things third
Send a prayer to the ones up above
All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh ooh
Your spirit up above, oh ooh
I was choking in the crowd
Building my rain up in the cloud
Falling like ashes to the ground
Hoping my feelings, they would drown
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
'Til it broke up and it rained down
It rained down, like

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer

The lyrics of "Believer" by Kaskade Imagine Dragons express a sense of empowerment and resilience in the face of pain and adversity. The first few lines illustrate a feeling of frustration and a desire for change. The singer is determined to speak their mind and take control of their own destiny. They refuse to be confined by others' expectations or opinions and assert their independence as the captain of their own ship. They want to break free from the way things have been and embark on a new path.
The song then delves into the singer's personal history, describing their journey from a young age. They felt broken and isolated, finding solace in writing poetry and connecting with a small group of people who understood and supported them. They channel their heartache and pain into their art, using it as a medium to convey their message. Despite the challenges and setbacks they faced, they were able to find beauty and strength in their experiences.
The chorus, with the repeated lines "You made me a believer, believer" and "You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer," captures the transformative power of pain. It suggests that the difficult experiences the singer has endured have ultimately shaped them into a stronger and more resilient individual. The pain they have experienced has not defeated them; instead, it has fueled their belief in themselves, their ability to overcome obstacles, and their capacity to rise above adversity.
Overall, "Believer" is a powerful anthem about finding strength through pain and using it as a catalyst for personal growth and self-discovery.
