The River
s1e03. Imagine Dragons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the world has gone to sleep
You gotta get up
When doubts begin to rise
And the world is at your feet
You gotta get up
Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
For anyone but myself
I'm not a selfless man
I'm not a man of wealth
If I had all the world,
Probably give it to myself
But the trees begin to walk
And the ground begins to talk
And myself
Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
For anyone but myself
Hold my place
Don't you give up on me
Hold on, hold on
Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
For anyone but myself
Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
The song "The River" by Imagine Dragons is about overcoming doubt and uncertainty. The lyrics suggest that in the darkest moments, when the world is asleep, you must get up and keep moving forward. The chorus encourages the listener to "reach", and reminds them that things are never as bad as they seem. The singer talks about cleansing himself in the river, not for his own sake, but for the sake of others. He acknowledges that he is not a perfect person but he is willing to use his own struggles to help others.
The first verse talks about the doubt that can sometimes overcome us as we try to navigate our way through life. It encourages us to keep moving forward, even when it feels like the world is against us. The second verse speaks of the singer's own flaws and his willingness to use his struggles to help others.
The song is a powerful reminder that we all have the ability to overcome our own doubts and fears, and to use our struggles to help others. It is a call to action, urging us to get up and keep moving forward no matter what obstacles we may face.

In the latest midnight hour
When it's very late at night
When the world has gone to sleep
When everyone else is asleep
You gotta get up
You need to motivate yourself to take action
When doubts begin to rise
When you start feeling uncertain
And the world is at your feet
When you have the power to make a difference
Reach, it's not as bad as it seems
Keep trying because the situation is not hopeless
I cleanse in the river for somebody else
I try to purify myself for the sake of others
For anyone but myself
Not for my own benefit, but for others
I'm not a selfless man
I am not naturally inclined to put others first
I'm not a man of wealth
I am not rich
If I had all the world, Probably give it to myself
If I were wealthy, I would likely keep the money for myself
But the trees begin to walk
When the impossible begins to happen
And the ground begins to talk
When things start to change in unexpected ways
Hold my place
Don't let me fall behind
Don't you give up on me
Keep supporting me despite the difficulties
Hold on, hold on
Keep going, don't let go

was broken from a young age
Taking my sulking to the masses
Writing my poems for the few
That look 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...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down and build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!

First things first
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 things second
Don't you tell me what you think that I could 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
Writing my poems for the few
That look 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...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a 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
Till it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Last things last
By the grace of the fire and the flames
You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh ooh
The blood in my veins, oh ooh
But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing
Inhibited, limited
Till it broke open and rained down
It rained down, like...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
Pain!
You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer
Pain!
Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain
My life, my love, my drive, it came from...
Pain!
You made me a, you made me a believer, believer
