[Intro: Dan Reynolds, Andrew Beck, & Aurora Florence]
I can see clearly, I can see clearly
I can see clearly, I can see clearly
I can see clearly, I can see clearly what you mean

[Verse 1: Dan Reynolds, with Aurora Florence & Andrew Beck]
Oh, my dear it's a pistol whip to my
Broken head and the stars are spinning
So, I pick one up and put it on my shoulder
Look, look, look
You're a world class case, I'll punch my stomach
All the people see me rolling over
With my hand on my shoulder, oh, with a star like I told ya
Pace, pace, pace

[Chorus: Dan Reynolds, Aurora Florence, & Andrew Beck]
Pistol whip, I'm bleeding a bit
But, I'll pop your bubble, let's talk it over
Count your loss, but being a killer
Stars on my shoulder, holding you over
Oh-o-o, oh-o-o, oh-oo
Oh-o-o, oh-o-o, oh-oo

[Post-Chorus: Dan Reynolds, Andrew Beck, & Aurora Florence]
I can see clearly, I can see clearly
I can see clearly, I can see clearly
I can see clearly, I can see clearly what you mean

[Verse 2: Dan Reynolds, with Aurora Florence & Andrew Beck]
Saddle sore and breathing heavy
I fall four flights up, halfway steady
With my hand on my shoulder, oh, with a star like I told ya
Look, look, look
I'ma take ten steps and close my eyes
Turn around and draw to my surprise
I clutch my heart and scream yeehoo!
Pace, pace, pace

[Chorus: Dan Reynolds, Aurora Florence, & Andrew Beck]
Pistol whip, I'm bleeding a bit
But, I'll pop your bubble, let's talk it over
Count your loss, but being a killer
Stars on my shoulder, holding you over
Oh-o-o, oh-o-o, oh-oo
Oh-o-o, oh-o-o, oh-oo

[Bridge: Andrew Beck, with Dan Reynolds and Aurora Florence]
I don't want to hear the words leave your lips
Love's lyrics leave you missing life
Tell yourself a lie and look through the crosshair
Tie that blindfold tight
I don't want to leave the puzzle, I'm done I got a
A lot of rope to burn, lot to learn, whoa
I don't want to leave the puzzle, I'm done I got a
A lot of rope to burn, lot to learn whoa
I don't want to hear you say you believe when you don't

[Outro: Dan Reynolds, Aurora Florence, & Andrew Beck]
Pistol whip, I'm bleeding a bit
But, I'll pop your bubble, let's talk it over
Count your loss, but being a killer
Stars on my shoulder, holding you over
Oh-o-o, oh-o-o, oh-oo
Oh-o-o, oh-o-o, oh-oo
Pistol whip, I'm bleeding a bit
But, I'll pop your bubble, let's talk it over
Count your loss, but being a killer
Stars on my shoulder, holding you over
Oh-o-o, oh-o-o, oh-oo
Oh-o-o, oh-o-o, oh-oo

One of the defining artists of the 2010s and perhaps the biggest band of the decade, Imagine Dragons is an American alt-rock band that originated in Las Vegas and led by Dan Reynolds. While the band began in 2008, the group boasted an entirely different roster than most are familiar. Before releasing their debut album, Night Visions, in 2012, the band released six EPs over four years, constantly shifting their sound and roster from folk to the crowd-shattering anthems they’ve been known for since.

The band’s roster was finalized before Night Visions‘ release with Daniel Platzman on the drums, Wayne Sermon on guitar, and Ben McKee on bass. Their break-out single, “Radioactive” was essential to putting Vegas on the map musically, citing The Killers before them. The song went on to become an international success, obliterating the record for the most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 at 87 straight weeks.

It wasn’t until 2015 the band released their sophomore album, Smoke + Mirrors. The album was extremely divergent from their freshman album, characterized by an accentuation of their Rock roots and an internal struggle, later described by Reynolds as being his bout with severe depression.
