Am I right? Of course I am, convince me otherwise would take all night. Before you walk away, there’s one more thing I want to say
This is someone trying to "talk him off the ledge" or trying to convince him that suicide is not the answer. Then it switches to that person saying that it is ok that they don't feel ok.

What kids are doing are killing themselves, they feel they have no control of their prisoner’s cell, and if you’re one of them then you’re one of me, and you would do almost anything just to feel free
He is saying that he is one of the kids that feel trapped in life. Life is the prisoner's cell. He wants to get away and he is willing to do anything. Even commit suicide.

I want to drive away
In the night, headlights call my name
In the night, headlights call my name
He wants to get away from everything. In the nighttime he has terrible, suicidal thoughts. I think that the headlights calling his name is him committing suicide by driving into traffic. It could also represent him driving away from everything.

I have these thoughts
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
So often I ought
To replace that slot
With what I once bought
Much like what is said above, since he has no radio he has terrible thoughts. The silence allows him to have these scary thoughts and he is saying that he should buy another radio to block out these thoughts.

The horrors of the night melt away
Under the warm glow of survival of the day
Then we move on,
My shadow grows tall-er with my fears
And my friends shrink small as night grows near
When
Under the warm glow of survival of the day
Then we move on,
My shadow grows tall-er with my fears
And my friends shrink small as night grows near
When
The night is when he has terrible, suicidal thoughts and the "horrors of the night" are these thoughts. When the night passes on he feels good in the day. The shadows growing taller is when the sun starts to set. At this point, the night, he feels alone and "his friends shrink small as night grows near". He feels alone during the night.

the sun is coming, window soothes
And the silver lining rides the hills
I will be saved for one whole day
Until the sun make the hills it's grave
I’m
And the silver lining rides the hills
I will be saved for one whole day
Until the sun make the hills it's grave
I’m
In many of their songs I think that the night is horrible and when he has his suicidal thoughts, but when the day comes he does not have these thoughts. Here he has made it through another night and the "silver lining rides the hills" is the sun rise saving him from his suicidal thoughts.

'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ay
I'm on top of the world, 'ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ay
Been holding it in for a while, 'ay
Take it with me if I can
I'm on top of the world, 'ay
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ay
Been holding it in for a while, 'ay
Take it with me if I can

I've had the highest mountains
I've had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps moving
I've had the deepest rivers
You can have it all but life keeps moving
The highest mountains are the high points in his life while the deepest rivers are the lowest points. You can have all the highs and all the lows but in the end life moves on and all that matters is what you did with the highs or the lows.

If you love somebody
Better tell them while they're here 'cause
They just may run away from you
Better tell them while they're here 'cause
They just may run away from you
He is telling us to take advantages of situations and act on feelings because we don't have forever. In this case he uses the image of telling someone you love them because if you don't then they may leave before you can.

In an interview the Imagine Dragons said that this song was about the bad relationship Dan had with his parents. So keeping that in mind:
This song is about how Dan as a child had a bad relationship with his parents and he did what they didn't want him to. he left one day and said he would never come back. then he did travel the whole world and ended up coming back to apologies.

Fast comes the blessing of all that you dreamed
But then comes the curses of diamonds and rings
Only at first did it have it's appeal
But now you can’t tell the false from the real
But then comes the curses of diamonds and rings
Only at first did it have it's appeal
But now you can’t tell the false from the real
At first all you want is riches and wealth but after you get it the curse comes. The curse is that you can't tell the false from the real.

This song could be about a few things.
1. This guy is seriously depressed and is in love and she doesn't love him back. He thinks that cutting himself (bleeding out) and whipping himself will help.
2. (i think this is more likely) he wants to right some wrongs that happened. He may have had someone dump him and he wants to get back together, but regardless of the reason he is willing to sacrifice his well being for the other. He is also willing to be there for her when she is felling bad. He will "be her scarecrow".

This song is all about working your way up from the bottom. In the beginning he has fallen and then he says things like the path to heaven is through miles of hell. I also think that he is saying that even though he wants to get to the top, he isn't going to change just to please people.

you
[Verse 2:]
I've been around the world
And never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you
I've told a million lies, but
Now I tell a single truth
There's you
[Verse 2:]
I've been around the world
And never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you
I've told a million lies, but
Now I tell a single truth
There's you
He has literally traveled the world and done a lot of things he thought that this would satisfy him but now after all of that he ended up coming back to his parents even though he never thought he would. The single truth that there is his parents in everything he does is in this song. The whole song is about his relationship with his parents.

[Pre-Chorus:]
Now remember when I told you
That's the last you'll see of me?
Remember when I broke you down to tears?
I knew I took the path
That you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all
Now remember when I told you
That's the last you'll see of me?
Remember when I broke you down to tears?
I knew I took the path
That you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all
In an interview the Imagine Dragons said that this song was about the bad relationship Dan had with his parents. So keeping that in mind:
This is about him telling his parents that he was leaving and would never come back. this "broke them down to tears". Again he knows that he did things that they wouldn't want him to do. and he gave his parents a hard time. "I gave you hell through all the years."

I knew I took the path

I know I let you down, didn't I?
So many sleepless nights
Where you were waiting up on me
Well I'm just a slave unto the

He did what his parents didn't like. He would go out past curfew, he blamed it on the night.
