Dragon
Martin Garrix x Matisse & Sadko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm on the edge got to get away
I've seen it all before
I'm going down like a renegade
And I'm still begging for more
This is the last time I tell you to open your eyes
The fire is burning, there's nowhere to hide
And I won't say it anymore
Break through the silence
I can feel the energy rising
Turn up the sirens
We were never meant to be quiet
Break through the silence
I can feel the energy rising
Turn up the sirens
We were never meant to be quiet
There are lights that'll lead the way
To what we're searching for
A million miles from yesterday
And it's right here on the floor
This is the last time I tell you to open your eyes
The city is sleeping, the monster's outside
The fire is burning, there's nowhere to hide
And I won't say it anymore
Break through the silence
I can feel the energy rising
Turn up the sirens
We were never meant to be quiet
Break through the silence
I can feel the energy rising
Turn up the sirens
We were never meant to be quiet
The lyrics of "Dragon," by Martin Garrix and Matisse Sadko, seem to be a call to action for the listener. From the start, the upbeat tempo and driving, electronic beat sets a tone of urgency. The first few lines, "We were never meant to be quiet/I'm on the edge got to get away," indicate that the singer is feeling restless and needs to break out of their current situation. They've "seen it all before" and they're ready to take a risk and "go down like a renegade" because they crave more excitement and action in their life.
The chorus is where the meaning of the song becomes clearer. The singer is telling the listener that it's time to "break through the silence." Something big is coming - the "energy" is "rising," and it's time to turn up the "sirens." There are "lights that'll lead the way" to what the listener is "searching for," and it's "right here on the floor" - it's accessible to everyone, but they have to seize the opportunity to find it. The singer repeats that "we were never meant to be quiet" - this can be interpreted as a directive to the listener, telling them to take action and make their mark on the world.
The second verse repeats some of the same ideas and lyrics from the first verse, but the sense of urgency becomes even stronger. The singer won't "say it anymore" - they're tired of waiting for others to join them and take action. The monster is outside, the fire is burning, and there's nowhere to hide. It's time to take control, break through the silence, and unleash the energy that's building up within.
Overall, "Dragon" can be seen as a rallying cry for anyone who feels stuck or restless in their current situation. The driving beat and lyrics create a sense of urgency and excitement, urging the listener to take action and seize opportunities to make a difference.
