    I believe that chasing cars has a deeper meaning... It is about love that gives u a feeling compared to the feeling a dog gets when he is chasing a car... it makes him happy and he does everything in order to reach the car as he is running after it but the truth is the dog wouldn't know what to do if he actually caught the car in the end...and that is what this relationship feels to the singer... he really enjoys being with this other person but in the end it is difficult for him to decide how to continue the relationship and he is not sure if he really loves the person or if he is just in love with the feeling of chasing for love

    You are doing some awesome stuff. I am just obsessed with the songs of Imagine Dragons. So whenever I need to know the deeper meaning of any of their songs (which I do almost everytime a new song publishes) I check out your channel. And oh my gosh, what an amazing explanation each and every time you provide... amazing. I also have started listening to many other pop bands just because of your amazing way of explaining the things. A ton of love from an Indian fan. Keep up the good work. 👍

    I enjoyed your commentary very much. I think that the phase "How I feel" is what is meant by said too much! You're always expressing how you feel in life but then it's never enough. 😁 That's what makes this song so great is that it is what it is. Every word is explained in itself!

    "Show me your garden that's bursting into life" is the best line in any song ever. I think of when me and my woman of 21 years first made love that's what it means to me. Although I have had encounters with many women and I've had children with other women with me and her and love it was a complete different experience with an eye opener it was an Awakening. I was beside myself to say the least.

    Thank you for this explanation. Obviously I can’t argue with the writer but for me this song explains the relationship between my mother and I. She was an addict and we had a complicated relationship. No matter how much I loved her I had a hard time saying it because of my fear that she would hurt me again. She passed away a clean woman in 2015, too little to late? I would give anything to be next to her again, forget the world, and just love her. The garden is heaven, when I will see her again. It will be bursting with life and perhaps I will come to know the mother I should have had free of drugs, alcohol, and the stain of this world.
