But I was more curious about the band so I did pick up their debut album Night Visions, and for the most part I liked it. I'm not going to say that either song is fantastic, and I would have preferred to hear Queens Of The Stone Age on the radio than them, but again, there weren't many other options. 'It's Time' landed on my 2012 best list, and the massive follow-up 'Radioactive' landed on my list in 2013. So going back to 2012, when I heard 'It's Time' by relative unknown Imagine Dragons, I didn't care it was only on the charts thanks to Glee and that the production was a little colourless, it was an indie rock song that landed on the Hot 100, I took what I could get.
As of now, if I'm being charitable we might have eight rock songs out of a 100 on the charts right now, and some level, that makes me a little sad, especially considering it has been like this for a while. It's been declining for years, really since the 90s, but ever since post-grunge had its last gasps, most of the rock that lands on the radio is indie-flavoured or is so gutless it'd have been laughed off the radio in the late-80s, when hair metal was at its most poppy. He is seeing things in grey and he wants to see in color, so he is asking his God, pleading his God, to make him believe again.So as many of you probably know, I listen to a fair bit of rock music - and since plenty of you probably follow Billboard BREAKDOWN, you're all probably aware that we don't get a lot of rock music on the charts anymore. I believe that this song is about his losing faith in everything, and that he is turning to his God for an explanation or help. The rainbow turns grey and you feel like you're watching life from a stained-glass window on an observation deck.Īs such, this song refers to losing faith in his religion amongst other things, as referenced in the words: Time moves by in a blur and birthdays just become another day of the week. When you have depression, you see everything as pointless. It is very possible that this song is about his indecision about religion, however consider it from the point of view of a person with depression (me, hi, how ya doin'?). My OpinionWhile the entire album gives off the vibe of having to do with religion, in the wikipedia, it is said that "Along with "Hopeless Opus" and "I'm So Sorry" on Smoke + Mirrors, the song touches upon lead-singer Dan Reynolds' depression struggles." with Music Times' 'Smoke + Mirrors Album Review' as the source. I've been going through this process of rebuilding myself."
"I felt like everything that I really believed was smoke and mirrors, not a solid foundation. "One of the reasons we called the whole album Smoke and Mirrors is that I wrote the album track while I was on the road when I was feeling like everything, my whole belief system and whole way of thinking, had crumbled to the ground," he continued. "I envy some of my friends who seem to be able to just let things go and are easy." "So Smoke and Mirrors is also about trying to learn to love myself and be okay with not knowing the answers to everything," Reynolds added. That is something that follows me round for whatever reason." He told The Sun: "I have always dealt with a guilt complex since I was really young. His insistent questioning and worrying was both the inspiration for this song and the title of Imagine Dragons' second album. "Frontman Dan Reynolds has had problems dealing with guilt for most of his life. Song MeaningFrom songfacts which contained part of an interview. I wanted your truth, but I wanted the pain I'm starting to cave, I'm losing my flame I'm feeling far away, I'm feeling right there This is my word heart breaker, gatekeeper
