Fill my mind up with silly dreams is all I seem to do
And people look like they're specks of
dust when you're this high off the ground
I'll do my best not to let you down
So feet don't fail me now cause
I am walking the tightrope
I am living on high hopes
Now they're, now they're crashing through
So I hold my breath
And close my eyes
I grab my heart when I realize
I am walking the tightrope for you
I'm fighting with gravity
Trying not to fall
But how come the ones we love can make us feel so small?
Oh, people look like they're specks of
dust when you're this high off the ground
But everyone's got a line to walk
We got to keep from looking down, no
I am walking the tightrope
I am walking it for you
I am living on high hopes
Now they're, now they're crashing through
So I hold my breath
And close my eyes
I grab my heart when I realize
I am walking the tightrope for you
Oh, the higher we go, the farther we fall
To hearts on the line and the winner takes all
But nobody wins when it's all just a show
I'm losing my grip, gonna slip, now it's time to let go
I am walking the tightrope
I am walking it for you
I am living on high hopes
Now they're, now they're crashing through
So I hold my breath
And close my eyes
I grab my heart when I realize
I am walking the tightrope for you, for you, for you, oh
I'm walking the tightrope, oh
I'm walking the tightrope
I am walking the tightrope for you
The Score's song Tightrope speaks about the struggles of trying to meet someone else's expectations while feeling the pressure of balancing oneself on a tightrope. The opening lines express a feeling of inadequacy when trying to fulfill the wants and desires of others. The singer is burdened with filling their mind with impractical goals and is constantly reminded of their own oppressive position while being high off the ground. Yet, they try their best to not let the other person down.
The chorus almost feels like an anthem for the singer who is walking the tightrope for a loved one. The lyrics "I'm walking it for you" shows a sense of responsibility to the other person, and how everyone has their own personal line to walk. The feeling of smallness is highlighted again in the second verse, where the gravity of emotion is the opponent. While fighting for themselves, they are trying not to let the other person down, who is seen as a speck of dust in the distance. However, we all have to continue along our tightrope without losing our balance, and it shows that looking down is not an option.
The bridge section reveals the pressure we put ourselves under, and sometimes, our faults can be highlighted in front of everyone, and nobody wins in this situation. But, if we hold on too tight, that’s how we lose our grip. The singer realizes that they have been walking the tightrope for someone else, and it’s time to let them go. It’s a song about the struggles we all face, where we need to balance our own wants and desires against the pressure and expectations of other people.

@hauntedtortilla
"how come the ones we love can make us feel so small?" anyone else find that way deeper than it should be?
@PredatorH2O
Deep as the hole in my heart.
Damn, that was too edgy of me.
@nikosnianiopoulos
You have no idea...
@ajoyfultaco993
It was meant to be deep, you took it the way it was supposed to be taken.
@gsrobe
Yes
@darkknightofmusic8872
I had a friend called Boyd we where best friends but one day he just didn't talk to me so I asked if he wanted to come over after school he pushed me said bad things about me then a couple weeks later school ended and I met a girl an turned to be my best friend but a week after school begun, Boyd asked here to be his girlfriend and she said yes but she don't know what he became it was heartbreaking because I told here about him, school started something like 4 weeks ago and I didn't hear something from here. now I am alone again like the old days but I am happy now because I love to be alone but there is still a peace missing.
@borheneddin5661
Me at the beginning: well this is different from what they usually do.
Me later: doesn't matter it still rocks.
@great-one0389
borhen eddin it might make them more popular, because I was on the imagine dragons reddit, some people all they had against the score is they think all their songs are too similar(I don’t have an issue with it).
@mightmare0642
Absolutely
@marwanzogheib1224
"I'm walking a tightrope" how true is that? How relatable? Thank you for showing everyone the meaning of pain, what it means to be different, and how no one should be ashamed to be that way. Your songs motivate me every day to get out of bed.
Thank you! <3
