    I gave it my all ... 25 years of marriage, struggled to pay 4 years of college for my daughter, had a series of 3 heart surgeries and lost my career due to illness ... just to find out this week that my wife has decided to move out with my 21 year old daughter and start a new life without me ... I sit alone, empty, lost ... I find this song on youtube and well ... I never knew a human could suffer as much loss as I have in one lifetime and still draw breath ... thanks for the song, I needed the cry

      Yes. I just found this video today even though Imagine Dragons is my favorite group of all. Yet, I'd never heard this song or seen this video. I'm pretty certain that I know the reason for Aja and Dan's split and knowing only makes it more painful. I love them both and their family so much. Walking The Wire music video is another painful one to watch. My favorite song is Children Of The Sky - much more uplifting.

  • @stepheneastern7661

    This song really makes me cry because the lyrics are perfectly matched with my parents' situation. I have a horrible dad, he never does anything harmful to my mom physically, but he always breaks my mom's heart over and over again. And the saddest part is my mom still stands next to him right to this day. My dad cheated on my mom again and again, with different women, and then my mom found out that my dad married another woman who is my mom's brother's ex-wife while she was still my mom's sister-in-law and in results ruining my mom's relationship with her brother and her niece and nephews for still standing next to my dad, but my mom still forgave him and still stands next to him for the sake of us her children. For all of you who reads this, I hope you'll be the best person your partner/spouse has ever had in his/her life. Be kind, caring, and loving to each other.
    Edited: thank you all for you thoughts and prayers. We're all okay now. My dad passed away in May, 2021 and we found out that he had an illegitimate daughter with another married woman without the knowing of that woman's husband. Well, that's their sins now. We're so relieved that it's finally over and we don't have to put up to this sh*t ever again. My mom finally can move forward with her life and maybe finding new love. And hopefully you guys also get the best partners in love.

    My interpretation of the song is this:
    Aja leaves him because of his myriad of problems including cheating. He makes a rash decision after reading her letter and goes to sell his ring, the clerk basically tells him that it isn't worth anywhere near what his love to her meant and he realizes this. Then decides that he wants to take his anger out on someone and decides to rob this guy who pissed him off. Obviously, that leads to him killing the clerk and getting caught.
    From here he spends his time on death row reminiscing on how different his life could have been with Aja and dreams up a perfect scenario where he is released,returns to her, and she still loves him. While on death row all he can think about is her and all chances he had to make things better and begins to slowly go crazy.
    Then before his execution he thinks back on all the people he has hurt and how he could have made it right. Then he sends the letter to Aja as a final sign that he can admit he screwed up and it is all his fault and asks to see her one last time while he is put to death. While being prepared for the lethal injection his life flashes before his eyes as he thinks back on his childhood and all the things that made him innocent to come to peace with what he did and ultimately accepts death.
    Brilliantly told story and I absolutely love this song, thank you for this gift Dan, Mark, Imagine Dragons, and everyone who helped put this together. It was fantastic!

  • @aarong6132
    @aarong6132 Před 6 lety +918

    My interpretation of the video:
    Reynold's wife has left him. He goes to sell his ring, but ends up killing the pawn shop worker. While in prison, he fantasizes about a life without mistakes.
    The theme of oranges comes up a couple times, and oranges can be a symbol of marriage, love, and maturity. You see these sequences in Reynold's fantasies, where he and his wife are together and they are happy and he is free. He's been pardoned, he had good behavior, and his wife is always there for him. He's wearing his wedding ring in these parts, as well, and you see themes of traveling back home, a pardon ing letter, a boy with leg braces and crutches walking through the citrus fields, and warm days.
    These are intercepted by misty tunnels, letters of the death penalty, his wife crying, and Reynolds smashing things up in his holding cell. The scene is terminated with Reynold stretched out in the chair, ready for lethal injection, his wife looking in and crying surrounded by the priest and his family. In between his fantasies Reynold has to face reality; his wife doesn't love him, he's committed a murder of an innocent man, and he's about to die. I believe the misty tunnel that he walks through is him accepting his death - he doesn't struggle in the chair as he did in the cell. He's calm, looking at his crying wife, understanding he can't undo his mistakes and that he has failed his wife for the last time.
    The phrases on the wall read, "We're all guilty yet we're all loved", "Hold me", "Touch me let me know I'm alive". During the last anger sequences, Reynold is wiping the words off of the wall. Aja doesn't love him anymore - he's guilty, but he's not loved. Aja doesn't touch him in the last scene - they're separated by glass and his failures. He's alone, untouched, and soon will not be alive.
    His fantasies, though, are with him to the end. There he can be happy and free and in love with his wife. He picks up the child that's fallen, he tastes the orange, he kisses his wife. And then he dies.
    Credit to P4li_ndr0m3 on Reddit for coming up with this, I thought it was a very good interpretation of the video so I just wanted to share it with you guys.

    This is my first time watching the video- and it broke me. I've been a big fan of theirs for years and recently went to see them live. This song was played acoustically. The amount of power in his voice while singing this song made me remember how much I loved it. In the concert he was directing the song to all of us, gesturing to the crowd during the bridge "thank you, for taking a chance on me". It was an incredible experience.
    To think this song came out right before Dan's marriage was about to collapse. And just looking back to how Aja and Dan were able to come back together and rebuild their love and relationship- this song becomes even more impactful. It is like a testament to how far they've come, through good and bad. This is such an incredible song. It conveys love through actions, and doesn't have to say "I love you" once. Because at the end of the day, being next to the person you love despite all your and their flaws speaks louder.

    Lyrics:
    Something about the way that you
    Walked into my living room
    Casually and confident
    Lookin' at the mess I am
    But still you, still you want me
    Stress lines and cigarettes
    Politics and deficits
    Late bills and overages
    Screamin' and hollerin'
    But still you, still you want me
    Oh, I always let you down
    You're shattered on the ground
    But still I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still I find you
    Next to me
    There's something about the way that you
    Always see the pretty view
    Overlook the blooded mess
    Always lookin' effortless
    And still you, still you want me
    I got no innocence
    Faith ain't no privilege
    I am a deck of cards
    Vice or a game of hearts
    And still you, still you want me
    Oh, I always let you down
    You're shattered on the ground
    But still I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still I find you
    Next to me
    So thank you
    For taking a chance on me
    I know it isn't easy
    But I hope to be worth it
    So thank you
    For taking a chance on me
    I know it isn't easy
    But I hope to be worth it
    Oh, I always let you down (I always let you down)
    You're shattered on the ground (shattered on the ground)
    But still I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do (stupid things I do)
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still I find you
    Next to me (next to me)

    This song hits me hard. All throughout elementary and middle school, I had to survive alone. I had no one. People didn’t like me. In 6th grade in middle school, I tried to end myself. I never came up with a plan. I just wanted to do it. But after a lot of talking with my counselor and my parents, I made the choice of being alive. Now that I’m in high school, I find life amazing. But most importantly, people are amazing.

      You and they did the right thing, you talked to eachother, you listened to each other & somewhere in the middle of that, I'm sure some relief was found, some hope to keep on going, some faith that those years were only a temporary part of your life.
      An important thing to always remember is; that there will always be 'helpers' nearby in our journey through life, there will be those who are able to teach us something we need to know right then & there will be those who've been through what we're going through & we can learn what we should do, or read, or listen to, or say & what NOT to do, say or read through their stories of their experiences, but in order to learn or for others to know what they could tell us that can help us that requires us to be communicatng to them how we really are feeling.
      The 2nd thing to remember is; A bad day, bad week, or a bad year even, does not mean your whole life is bad, or that it will all be bad or feel bad. Everyone has really crappy days, weeks, years even, for all kinds of reasons but the sun will shine again, what goes up must come down and vice versa. So always hang on to see what tomorrow brings.

    On top of the world, I had some radioactive night visions, it was time to confront my demons.
    I first tried to get back to my roots, I bet my life on it but the gold was just smoke and mirrors and I ended up lost in the unknown.
    So I figured I had to evolve, to do whatever it took. I became a believer and felt the thunder, and now I'm walking the wire, imagining dragons next to me.

    [Aja]
    Dear Reynold,
    my heart is broken. It‘s so badly broken that I fear it will never be whole again. I‘m leaving you. All the promises you made. All the love we had. Destroyed. Maybe you never meant it. Mabye you knew all along you would just string me along for all these years. You are not the man I thought you were. You never were. I believed what we had was sacred. You just gave it away. All of it. Lying, cheating, failure. I will erase you from my heart, from my mind. I will wash you away and I will never look back. You chose this. You decided that I wasn‘t enough and that was it. I am enough, for someone. Just not you. Goodbye.
    - Aja
    [Reynold]
    We spend our life thinking about the mistakes, things we wish we could take back. If I could I would take them back and I’d burn them. I’d beg you to never know me. To forget every wrong thing I ever did, I ever said.
    I'm sitting in the darkness and I know they're coming for me. The sky's open and the ghost came back. These are the witnesses, the ones who know all my sins, where I've been, the past and the present. They take the forms of those forgotten, unknown, never allowed. I failed all of you.
    I let you all die. I let you go. Part of me is next to me.
    Today is the day I get to go home to you.
    All of the journey, from the travelling road
    to the strange sidings, the visions of beauty, the odd disruptions. They're all for you, for your power and love. Holding me, next to me.
    [Verse 1]
    Something about the way that you walked into my living room
    Casually and confident lookin' at the mess I am
    But still you, still you want me
    Stress lines and cigarettes, politics, and deficits
Late bills and overages, screamin' and hollerin'
But still you, still you want me
    [Chorus]
    Oh, I always let you down
    You're shattered on the ground
    But still, I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still, I find you
    Next to me (next to me)
    [Verse 2]
    There's something about the way that you always see the pretty view
    Overlook the blooded mess, always lookin' effortless
    And still you, still you want me
    I got no innocence, faith ain't no privilege
    I am a deck of cards, vice or a game of hearts
    And still you, still you want me
    [Chorus]
    Oh, I always let you down
    You're shattered on the ground
    But still, I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still, I find you
    Next to me
    [Bridge]
    So thank you for taking a chance on me
    I know it isn't easy
    But I hope to be worth it
    So thank you for taking a chance on me
    I know it isn't easy
    But I hope to be worth it
    [Aja]
    My dearest, I failed you, I failed us. I love you. I'm sorry. I‘m so sorry.
    Love, Reynold
    [Bridge]
    So thank you for taking a chance on me
    I know it isn't easy
    But I hope to be worth it
    So thank you for taking a chance on me
    I know it isn't easy
    But I hope to be worth it
    [Chorus]
    Oh, I always let you down (I always let you down)
    You're shattered on the ground, (shattered on the ground)
    But still, I find you there (yeah)
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do (stupid things I do)
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still, I find you
    Next to me (next to me)
    [Aja]
    We ask for forgiveness, from ourself, from the monster we can't see. Can anyone be truly forgiven? Potential fate. My history. The ending of destiny. The possibility of life without love.
    [Reynold]
    Hold me forever, touch me now before i go. Let me know I'm alive, let me know I'm alive.

W świcie muzyki zdominowanym przez wulgarne, wyuzdane video, gdzie zalewa nas perwersja praktycznie w każdym utworze.

    I believe the story goes like this.
    He cheats on his wife and she leaves him and writes the letter. In the heat of the moment he goes to the pawn shop attempts to sell his ring from their marriage. The clerk says it's worth nothing and this is an anology for the relationship. He then realizes his marriage was worth something and since he is not in a good place mentally; kills the clerk. The cops come and take him away and he is sentenced to death. He is killed in front of his family and the officer saying "good luck out their kid" is sending him off into the afterlife. He travels through purgatory which is represented by the fog, he helps the kid showing he is still a good man. He then makes it into the afterlife to live in eternal bliss with his wife.

      She dies in the beginning otherwise she wouldn't wait for him in heaven his life ended when hers did in his mind, he destroyed himself in sorrow, went to pawn the ring but couldn't do it for the insulting price given, killed him, found God in prison was put to death, while she waited for him in spirit and watched in spirit form. The kid represents him breaking free of the shackles of life as his spirit soars to heaven.

    Dan will make a great actor. He has amazing control over his expressions and has the looks for an actor. Plus since he has gone through so much pain in life, he can really bring out the depth in any character he plays.

    I'm crying. I've heard the song but never seen the video. I feel so much from almost every one of their songs, but seen so few of their videos. I love y'all, Imagine Dragons. Thank you for always being there. 😢

      And listen to the Kazakh singer Dimash. I swear to you that you have never heard such a voice, because Dan is unique with his mediocre vocals before that boy as cancer to Paris.))

    Lyrics of the whole song with story
    Dear Reynold,
    My heart is broken
    It's so badly broken that I feel it will never be whole again
    I am leaving you
    All the promises we made …All the love we had …destroyed
    [COUGH] maybe you never meant it …
    maybe you know all along you will string me along for all these years
    you were not the man i thought you were .. you never were
    i believed what we had… was sacred… you just gave it away.. all of it..lie sin failure
    i will erase you from my heart … from my mind … i will wash you away and I will never look back
    you choose this… you decided that i wasn't enough and I was here
    I am enough for someone …just not you
    Goodbye [COUGH]
    Aeeshya
    We spend our lives thinking about the mistakes …things we wish we could take back
    If I could i would take them back and I would burn them
    I beg you to never know me…. to forget every wrong thing i ever did… I ever said

    [Gun shot]
    Forgive me for what I have done
    ..[Siren]
    I am sitting in the darkness and i know they are coming for me
    The sky is open and the ghost came back… these are the witnesses ..the ones who know all my sins …where I have been … past ….and the present
    they take the forms…those forgotten unknown …never allowed..
    I failed all of you ..i let you all die
    i let you go…. part of me is next to me
    Good luck to you
    Today is the day i get to go home to you
    All of the journey from the traveling road …the strange sidings…the visions of beauty
    the odd destruction ..they're all through you ..from your power and love
    holding me …NEXT TO ME
    Something about the way that you walked into my living room
    Casually and confident lookin' at the mess I am
    But still you, still you want me
    Stress lines and cigarettes, politics and deficits
    Late bills and overages, screamin' and hollerin'
    But still you, still you want me
    Oh, I always let you down
    You're shattered on the ground
    But still I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still I find you
    Next to me (next to me)
    There's something about the way that you always see the pretty view
    Overlook the blooded mess, always lookin' effortless
    And still you, still you want me
    I got no innocence, faith ain't no privilege
    I am a deck of cards, vice or a game of hearts
    And still you, still you want me
    Oh, I always let you down
    You're shattered on the ground
    But still I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still I find you
    Next to me
    So thank you for taking a chance on me
    I know it isn't easy
    But I hope to be worth it (oh)
    So thank you for taking a chance on me
    I know it isn't easy
    But I hope to be worth it (oh)
    Oh, I always let you down (I always let you down)
    You're shattered on the ground (shattered on the ground)
    But still I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do (stupid things I do)
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still I find you
    Next to me (next to me)
