I heard the first line "I can do this with my eyes closed" a week after the song was released. And I paused it immediately. Because I knew this great song needs an attentive listener. Every night I went to sleep waiting for the right opportunity to listen to this song.
After 2 weeks, today near about 04:00am when the world is asleep. I am in my room all alone. I play this song. With every line of the lyrics hitting deeper than the last one, tears falling down faster than the last one, and my spirit getting stronger than the last one.
Thank you Imagine Dragons. I can do this with my eyes closed.

[00:05.400] I could do this with my eyes closed
[00:17.359] I'm back from the dead, from the back of my head
[00:20.160] Been gone and facin' horrors that should never be said
[00:23.130] The wrath and the grit from the pit of despair
[00:25.920] Been takin' every whip and, word, I've never been spared
[00:28.950] They say tomorrow's never promised, honest
[00:34.260] They say that angels are among us
[00:38.780] Lock me up in a maze (oh)
[00:41.359] Turn out, turn out the lights (oh)
[00:43.960] I was born, I was raised for this (oh)
[00:46.670] Turn out, turn out the lights (oh, turn out the lights)
[00:49.559] Lock me up inside a cage
[00:52.359] Just throw away the key, don't worry bout me
[00:55.569]I was drivin' in my car, throwin' up my hands, put it in coast
[01:00.403] I could do this with my eyes closed

[01:11.559] I could do this with my eyes closed
[01:13.359] Less medications, less manifestations
[01:18.259] Mantras, meditation, throw it all away
[01:23.559] All the places I've been, all the blood that I've bled
[01:26.459] I've been broken down and beat up, but I still get ahead
[01:29.359] All the faceless embraces and the tasteless two faces
[01:32.000] Killed and resurrected 'cause I'll never be dead
[01:35.259] They say tomorrow's never promised, honest
[01:40.559] They say piranhas are among us
[01:44.759] Lock me up in a maze (oh)

[01:58.559] Just throw away the key, don't worry bout me
[02:01.759] I was drivin' in my car, throwin' up my hands, put it in coast
[02:06.509] I could do this with my eyes closed
[02:09.759] Turn out, turn out the lights
[02:11.999] I could do this with my eyes closed
[02:14.859] Turn out, turn out the lights
[02:16.759] I could, I could do this with my eyes
[02:40.859] And when the day broke, buried in violence
[02:43.959] Somethin' made my mind up
[02:46.859]I will spend these days as an island
[02:49.559] Alone and far away
[02:51.359] Lock me up in a maze (oh, maze)
[02:54.059] Turn out, turn out the lights (oh, turn out the lights)
[02:56.809]I was born, I was raised for this (oh)
[02:59.759] Turn out, turn out the lights (oh, turn out the lights)
[03:02.659] Lock me up inside a cage
[03:04.999] Just throw away the key, don't worry bout me

if you would have told the 12 year old me, awkward and sitting at a microphone in the living room recording my first song, that one day my music would be heard by millions, I wouldnāt believe you. not only because that sounds ridiculous, but also because I had no intention of ever playing my music for anyone else but myself. I wrote songs about a very lost boy dealing with depression and not knowing where to turn for peace. I wish I could go back to that little boy and tell him how it all was going to turn out. that itās ok to be depressed. to keep writing.
but honestly, I donāt need to go back and tell that little kid anything, because I did exactly that - I kept writing. I ended up finding a great therapist. I stayed alive. I found a deep obsessive love for creating music. expressing my inner most feelings through lyric and melody. I wrote nearly a song a day for decades. Thousands of songs. Honestly, thousands. The far majority of them will never be heard, and thatās perfectly ok with me. My only hope is that the few that are heard help some other kid feel less alone. help them understand that itās ok to be depressed or feel lost. you can still find power in your sorrow. you can turn your pain into art. and if you truly love something enough and believe it you can make anything happen.
when you work every day at something tirelessly and put in the time, it will become a part of you. and it will help bring light to the dark. this song is about exactly that. stay alive. X
