Lyrics of
Thunder

Thunder by Imagine Dragons is about overcoming disparagement and disbelief from others to achieve success and prove the doubters wrong. The lyrics reflect the bands own struggles and rejections they faced before finding fame.

Just a young gun with a quick fuse, I was uptight, wanna let loose
I was dreaming of bigger things, and wanna leave my own life behind
Not a yes sir, not a follower, fit the box, fit the mold
Have a seat in the foyer, take a number, I was lightning before the thunder

Thunder, thunder, thunder, thun-thun-thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thun-
Thunder, thun-thun-thunder, thunder

Thunder, feel the thunder, lightning and the thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning and the thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder

Kids were laughing in my classes, while I was scheming for the masses
Who do you think you are? Dreaming 'bout being a big star
You say you're basic, you say you're easy, you're always riding in the back seat
Now I'm smiling from the stage while, you were clapping in the nose bleeds

Thunder, thunder, thunder, thun-thun-thunder, thunder
Thunder, thunder, thun-
Thunder, thun-thun-thunder, thunder

Thunder, feel the thunder, lightning and the thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning and the thunder, thunder


N.C.

Thunder, feel the thunder, lightning and the thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder
Lightning and the thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder, lightning and the thunder, thunder
Thunder, feel the thunder (feel the)
Lightning and the thunder, thunder
