Imagine Dragons is an Alternative Rock band formed in Las Vegas in 2008. They rose to prominence with their album Night Visions in 2012, and the three hit songs that came from it — "It's Time", their first hit; "Radioactive", which earned the band a 2014 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance, and "Demons".The band has also recorded songs for the movies The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Me Before You, Suicide Squad (2016), Passengers (2016), and Ralph Breaks the Internet, the mobile game Infinity Blade III, the video game Starfield, and the 2014 League of Legends World Championship (where they also appeared and performed live at the Grand Final). Frankenweenie and Iron Man 3 have some pieces from the band on their respective tie-in albums, but these do not appear in the movies themselves. | |

Title Drop | |
| Imagine Dragons (Music) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: Like most singers, they have a tendency to use song titles in their lyrics. Averted in "The Unknown". Possibly their most extreme example is "Thunder", which drops the title seventy-seven times. When it went to #1 on the American Top 40, it became the song with the most Title Drops to do so in the 2010s. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Imagine Dragons (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Smoke + Mirrors has the band experiment with genres that Night Visions didn't explore, reducing the electronic and hip-hop influences in favor of several styles of rock, folk, and R&B. It also features several unusual instruments, such as a prominent theremin in the song "Summer". | |

Ironic Echo | |
| Imagine Dragons (Music) / int_237404cc | comment |
Ironic Echo: "Pantomime" makes four usages of the phrase, "It's just a matter of, 'Oh, don't touch me. Don't you, don't you touch me no more.'", the last of which replaces the second "don't you" with, "dare". The singer uses it twice during the first verse, when hesitating to take an ex-girlfriend back in, especially as her friends try to help him rebound. It appears two more times in the second verse, which details how the singer and the ex broke up (she left him for a rich and handsome man), and why she started pursuing him again (the rich and handsome man keeps brushing her aside in favor of making more money). | |

Autobots, Rock Out!: "Monster" and "Battle Cry" accompany fight scenes in Infinity Blade III and Transformers: Age of Extinction, respectively. Ironically, the first song of theirs that played in a Transformers movie, "All For You", sounds very mellow, and doesn't accompany a fight scene with Autobots. | |

Eyes Never Lie: An Arc Symbol. The song "Demons" is all about this trope. From the chorus: From the bridge: "I Need a Minute" also briefly touched on this, as quoted earlier in this page. "Bad Liar" features the line "Look me in the eyes, tell me what you see". Here, Dan is telling his girlfriend to expose his true bad nature. | |

Shower of Angst | |
| Imagine Dragons (Music) / int_2e154495 | comment |
Shower of Angst: Dan Reynolds seems to have a Deliberately Monochrome one in the "Roots" music video, submerging himself in a bathtub while singing about how he needs to reconnect with his past, and reflecting on childhood memories and his explorations of remote New Zealand locations. The memories (including some taken from home movies) play in full-color, as does Dan's rise out of the tub at the end of the video. | |

I Can't Do This by Myself: Most of "Demons" is about pushing a loved one away to save them from the narrator's "demons". The bridge, however, has a cautious plea for help, "I can't escape this now / Unless you show me how." | |

You Are Too Late | |
| Imagine Dragons (Music) / int_4c3f14e0 | comment |
You Are Too Late: "Waves" includes a story about a friend in need that the singer was unable to save. Or rather, the friend had desperately called him for assurance that he wasn't alone, only for his calls to be missed and the lack of comfort driving him to suicide. The singer can only lament his inaction and wishes he'd just answered his calls. | |

The lyric video features a man searching for the lyrics to the song in various search engines, until a video game causes his computer to be infected with cats that make his computer unusable. Not to worry, though, the members of Imagine Dragons suddenly appear and destroy the cats with laser eyes. The video then shows us a poster for the band, which waves for a few seconds before Wreck-it-Ralph bursts through the poster. | |

Downer Ending: Smoke + Mirrors ends on a rather depressing note in its first two North American versions, as if the album didn't already have enough self-loathing/disillusioned-sounding songs. Standard 13 track version, which ends with "The Fall": Deluxe 17 track version, which ends with "Release": International deluxe versions end on a more hopeful note with either "Warriors"note the last song on the 18 track International Deluxe Edition or "Who We Are"note the last song on the 21 track Super Deluxe Edition, which later also became available in America. | |

Dying as Yourself: In the music video for "Bones" an office full of people seemingly gets hit by a wave of madness that causes most of them to succumb and turn into zombies who try to kill the remaining humans. The main character's eyes turn into zombie eyes a few times but he fights off the madness. In the end he just gets his head ripped off and dies as a human while almost everyone else in the office seemingly went crazy. | |

Motor Mouth: Dan sings the bridge of "Believer" and all the verses of "Whatever It Takes" more quickly than usual. "Natural" and "Zero" take it up a notch, suggesting this may become a regular thing for them. | |

Asshole Victim: The protagonist for the "Bones" music video is shown to an obvious arrogant douchebag, including throwing a ping pong ball at someone who pissed him off. By the end he gets torn apart by his zombified coworkers. It's implied he might have somehow been partially responsible for them turning into zombies by stressing them out too much. | |

Repurposed Pop Song | |

Repurposed Pop Song: The band has no qualms about lending out their songs for various advertisements and features. "It's Time", "Radioactive", "On Top of the World", "I Bet My Life", "I'm So Sorry", "Friction", "Believer", and "Thunder" have played in various commercials and trailers. "Monster" was used in a video package for Daniel Bryan at Wrestlemania 30. A Target commercial that premiered at the 2015 Grammys comprised entirely of Imagine Dragons performing "Shots" live from Las Vegas. A TV spot for the 88th Annual Academy Awards uses "Dream". A Nintendo Switch commercial that premiered at Super Bowl XLI uses "Believer", as does, oddly, the first trailer for Murder on the Orient Express (2017). A trailer for Wonder Woman (2017) uses "Warriors". Jeep sometimes uses Imagine Dragons songs in their commercials. "Friction" was used in the first trailer for Mission: Impossible – Fallout, probably due to it mixing very well with the classic Mission Impossible theme. | |

Canon Discontinuity: The Internet didn't seem to indicate the existence of any Imagine Dragons EPs older than 2009, until some songs from a 2008 EP called Speak to Me appeared on Tumblr in December 2014. (However, there did exist this video of a former band member performing the title song, and Lyricsmania shared the lyrics to "The Pit") The band's manager, Mac Reynolds, explained that since only one of the members featured in those tracks — Dan Reynolds — remained with Imagine Dragons afterward, the band didn't really consider Speak to Me one of their own works. | |

Mood Whiplash | |
| Imagine Dragons (Music) / int_a4c37cbe | comment |
Mood Whiplash: In Night Visions, "Bleeding Out" has very dark lyrics (see above), but transitions into the lighter "Underdog", which is both faster and in a major key. Same with "Demons" followed by "On Top of the World", on both Continued Silence and Night Visions. The music video for "Radioactive" does an excellent job setting up a dark, dank, dreary, monochrome, possibly post-apocalyptic world (as indicated in the lyrics), before slapping you in the face with a brightly-colored Muppet reject shredding plush opponents in a puppet cock-fighting ring run by Lou Diamond Phillips (yes, really Lou Diamond Phillips). It will not take long to literally get whiplash from the force of the double-take, hysterical laughter, and sheer WTF-ery. | |

It ends with Ben (who just fell from the sky) and Daniel getting into a Wimp Fight, Wayne rocking out on a guitar given to him by the heavens outside, and Dan doing a Skyward Scream until some kids ask him if he's okay. | |

Self-Deprecation: In the video for "Follow You", Kaitlin Olson takes Rob McElhenney to a private concert from Imagine Dragons, even though he preferred The Killers, which Imagine Dragons has been accused of being an inferior version of. At the end of the concert, the couple doesn't want to listen to the ten other songs Imagine Dragons had prepared, especially wanting to avoid the overplayed "Radioactive". Dan is left looking incredibly awkward at the end. The video also mocks Dan's tendency to be shirtless during concerts. | |

Lyrics/Video Mismatch: Dan Reynolds admittedly thought showing a world-shattering apocalypse in the music video for "Radioactive" would seem too predictable, so how does it cover the song's themes of empowerment instead? It tells the story of a young woman who rescues Imagine Dragons from Lou Diamond Phillips, with help from her teddy bear, who slays a puppet monster. Possibly bearing even less relevance to its song, "On Top of the World" has a video in which the band visits The '60s and televises a staged moon landing. | |

Surreal Music Video | |
| Imagine Dragons (Music) / int_ecf2949f | comment |
Surreal Music Video: "I Bet My Life" has a young man, portrayed by Dane DeHaan, get sucked into a dam during a fistfight. He goes through different environments of sea, air, and land, which become revealed as All Just a Dream as the other fighter pulls him out of the river. Clips of this video also appeared in a Jeep commercial. "Shots" places the band in environments inspired by the surrealist covers painter Tim Canton produced for Smoke + Mirrors and its singles. "Radioactive" is about an underground puppet fighting ring. No, really. "Zero": The lyric video features a man searching for the lyrics to the song in various search engines, until a video game causes his computer to be infected with cats that make his computer unusable. Not to worry, though, the members of Imagine Dragons suddenly appear and destroy the cats with laser eyes. The video then shows us a poster for the band, which waves for a few seconds before Wreck-it-Ralph bursts through the poster. Meanwhile, in the actual video, it begins with a skateboarder prat-falling, a random passerby flying up into the sky, Dan wandering around an arcade with a giant head that he needs to hold up with his arms, Ben doing an Unflinching Walk as his car explodes, Wayne looking dead inside as kids bring their arcade tickets to him, and Daniel showing off his skills at a football game. It ends with Ben (who just fell from the sky) and Daniel getting into a Wimp Fight, Wayne rocking out on a guitar given to him by the heavens outside, and Dan doing a Skyward Scream until some kids ask him if he's okay. "Bad Liar" takes this to Surreal Horror levels, with a woman dancing next to a levitating corpse in a position as if it's been hanged in a high school. | |

Hidden Track | |
| Imagine Dragons (Music) / int_f1dcdabc | comment |
Hidden Track: "Rocks", at the end of "Nothing Left to Say", begins after a two-and-a-half minute outro and fifteen seconds of silence. Even though the name is in the track title, you'd be forgiven for thinking the track didn't exist. | |

Dark Reprise: Koda did a slow, sad version of "Radioactive" for The 100. | |

Product Placement | |
| Imagine Dragons (Music) / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Not specifically advertising, but rather a tribute to the game. The music video for "Warriors" was made very specifically for League of Legends. | |

Darkest Hour | |
| Imagine Dragons (Music) / int_f91d1d4f | comment |
Darkest Hour: "Demons", where the singer/protagonist has given up any hope for protecting anything other than someone he cares for. If you pay attention, quite a few of their other songs have similar vibes, like "Lost Cause" and "Nothing Left to Say". | |

Love Cannot Overcome | |
| Imagine Dragons (Music) / int_f9cf12b2 | comment |
Love Cannot Overcome: In "Polaroid" the singer considers themselves a hopeless, reckless disaster, contrasting their seemingly perfect lover. But their lover can't fix him and his love for them can't fix him either. It doesn't actually make him happy/fill the void because he has problems well beyond what someone else can do for him. | |

Distressed Dude | |
| Imagine Dragons (Music) / int_f9e16ef | comment |
Distressed Dude: The band members become this trope in the music video for "Radioactive", being trapped in the basement of the arena the stuffed animal dogfights are taking place. Eventually, they end up rescued by the drifter who brought her own challenger. | |
