“Speak to Me” is the fourth track and title track from Imagine Dragons‘ little-known 2008 EP, Speak to Me. The song was also featured as the first song of their Demo EP from earlier that year.
[Verse 1: Dan Reynolds]
Draw a rumor; flashing lights and let all whispers die
Sixteen colors, I'm so lonely
Let, let the picture dry
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
'Cause everybody sees things differently
And everybody says things rationally
So open up your heart, open up your mind
Speak, speak, speak, speak to me
Let it go
So open up your heart, open up your mind
Speak, speak, speak, speak to me
Let it go
[Verse 2: Aurora Florence, Dan Reynolds]
Suppressed emotions flying past
Are heading out the other end
The precious love, the daily grind
It's wonderful
Elastic wasted, rubber ghost
Are floating past the midnight hour
They push aside the things that matter most
Wonderful
Trace the faces, X the places where the judges lie
I'm not scared of all the nothings
Let, let the whispers die
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds & Aurora Florence]
'Cause everybody sees things differently
(Exciting news at discount price)
And everybody says things rationally
(A million opportunities)
So open up your heart, open up your mind
Speak, speak, speak, speak to me
Let it go
So open up your heart, open up your mind
Speak, speak, speak, speak to me
Let it go
[Bridge: Dan Reynolds]
I-M-A-G-I-N-E, oh
M-O-V-E-M-E-N-T, oh
I-M-A-G-I-N-E, oh
L-E-T-U-S-B-E-F-E-A-R-L-E-S-S
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds & Aurora Florence]
'Cause everybody sees things differently
(Exciting news at discount price)
And everybody says things rationally
(A million opportunities)
So open up your heart, open up your mind
Speak, speak, speak, speak to me
Let it go
So open up your heart, open up your mind
Speak, speak, speak, speak to me
Let it go
(Wonderful)
