Thunder Lyrics

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
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 nosebleeds

Thunder
Feel the thunder
Lightning and the thunder
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
Lightning and the thunder, thunder
Thunder (Never give up)
Feel the thunder (Never give up)
Lightning and the thunder, thunder
Thunder (Never give up)
Feel the thunder (Never give up)
Lightning and the thunder, thunder

He rebels (he fit the mold to be a rockstar/singer) and sings. He's not a sheep and follower. He always dreamed he'd become a big star but his classmates didn't believe in him. But he was more illuminated than he classmates who criticized him ever thought he was and he really did make it as a big star.

Then he was the one on stage with "the last laugh" while they were in the front seat of his concert (instead of him being in the back seat of the class).

P.S. And maybe some Illuminati kisses (the good-intentioned Illuminati, not the fake bad-intentioned one)

@kimmisty50 Oh and also "I was lightening, before I was Thunder" means.. I had always been GOOD..... then I became GREAT. (I was striking before, and I became powerful... a powerful energy being). like I was a bud before I bloomed into the rose, sort of metaphor.

another addition: When air around the electric bolt expands, it produces sound energy which is called thunder. While thunder and lightning usually occur at the same time, light travels faster than sound so lightning is seen before thunder can be heard. —Just like in his school, he was SEEN (judged) before he was finally HEARD(singing feelings & emotions.)

The word “thunder” comes from the Old English word “thunor” and the Proto-Germanic “thunraz” which means “to resound.” (HE RESOUNDED HIS EMOTIONS THROUGH SAVEWAVES) The word “lightning” comes from the Old English word “lihting” or “lightnen” which means “make bright.” (ILLUMINATED...

I thought that this song was 100/100. Catchy, good harmonies, cool lyrics. I'm not the #1 fan of Imagine Dragons but I'm a really big fan of this song.

My Opinion

This song is so repetitive. Add the repetitive lyrics to it being played 10 times on the radio in under an hour and you get an endless amount of ‘thunders’

My Opinion

This was the song that brought me into the world of Imagine Dragons, and it holds a special place in my heart. I also really like Believer and Radioactive.
