Whatever It Takes

Negative, nepotist

Whip, whip
Run me like a race horse
Hold me like a rip cord
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip
Letter that you rip, rip
Break me down and build me up

Whatever it takes
"
I do whatever it takes
"
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top

I do what it takes

I wanna be invisible
Everybody needs to be a part of them
I was born to run, I was born for this

Whip, whip
Run me like a race horse
Hold me like a rip cord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip

Whatever it takes
"Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top
I'm ready for whatever it takes
"Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes

Hypocritical, egotistical
, hypothetical
Working onto something that I"m proud of
I"m an apostrophe
I"m just a symbol to remind you that there"s more to see
And yet a masterpiece, and yet I"m half-diseased
And when I am deceased

I do what it takes

Whatever it takes
"Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins

"Cause I love how it feels when I break the chains
Whatever it takes
You take me to the top

Whatever It Takes

Falling too fast to prepare for this
Tripping in the world could be dangerous
Everybody circling is vulturous
Negative, nepotist

Everybody waiting for the fall of man
Everybody praying for the end of times
Everybody hoping they could be the one
I was born to run, I was born for this

Whip, whip
Run me like a race horse
Hold me like a rip cord
Break me down and build me up

Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
Cause I love the adrenaline in my veins
I do what it takes

Always had a fear of being typical
Looking at my body feeling miserable
Always hanging on to the visual
I wanna be invisible

Looking at my years like a martyrdom
Everybody needs to be a part of 'em
Never be enough, I"m the prodigal son
I was born to run, I was born for this

Whip, whip
Run me like a race horse
Hold me like a rip cord

Hypocritical, egotistical
Don't wanna be the parenthetical
Out of the box an epoxy to the world
And the vision we"ve lost
I"m an apostrophe, I"m just a symbol
To remind you that there"s more to see
I"m just a product of the system, a catastrophe
And when I am deceased
At least I go down to the grave and die happily
Leave the body of my soul to be a part of me
I do what it takes

Whatever it takes

[Verse 1:]
I fall too quickly without having time to prepare for it.
It can be dangerous to stumble in this world.
Everyone's circling me like vultures
They spread negativity and encourage nepotism. 1
Everyone is waiting for the Fall.
Everyone is praying for the end of the world.
Everyone hopes that they can become unique.

[Chorus:]
Rush me, hit me

I want to be your loss
A word on your lips,
A letter that you will tear up.

[Chorus:]
Whatever it takes
I am doing everything possible,
Whatever it takes!
You take me to the top
I'm ready for anything, no matter what it takes!
I do whatever it takes.

[Verse 2:]
I was always afraid of being ordinary.
Looking at myself, I realized that I looked pathetic,
Constantly worrying about appearance.
I want to become invisible.
I perceive the past years as torture,
Everyone needs to experience something like this.
Everything is never enough for me, I am the prodigal son. 2
I was born to run, I was born to do this...

[Chorus:]
Rush me, hit me
Drive me like a racehorse.
Squeeze me in your hands like a ripcord.
Break me down and build me up again.
I want to be your reservation
A word on your lips,
A letter that you will tear up.
Destroy me and build me again...

[Chorus:]
Whatever it takes
Because I love feeling the adrenaline in my veins.
I am doing everything possible,
'Cause I love the way it feels when I break my chains
Whatever it takes!
Take me to the top
'Cause I love feeling the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes.

[Transition:]
I'm a hypocritical, narcissistic person...
I don't want to be fickle or unfounded
I'm working on something I can be proud of
I go beyond the boundaries to bring the world together into a single whole and return to us the way of thinking that we have lost.
I'm like an apostrophe
I'm just a symbol to remind you that there's still more to see here. 3
I'm just a victim of the system, I'm a disaster
But at the same time, it is a masterpiece, even if partially damaged.
And when I die,
At least I will go to another world happy,
Leaving the fruit of your soul 4 as a part of yourself.
I'm doing my best for this...

[Chorus:]
Whatever it takes
Because I love feeling the adrenaline in my veins.
I am doing everything possible,
'Cause I love the way it feels when I break my chains
Whatever it takes!
Take me to the top
I'm ready for this, no matter what it takes!
'Cause I love feeling the adrenaline in my veins
I do whatever it takes.

1 – Nepotism (nepotism) is a type of favoritism that provides privileges to relatives or friends, regardless of their professional qualities (for example, when hiring). The harm from nepotism lies in the fact that a person is appointed to a new position without undergoing professional selection and often without being a good specialist.
2 – The Prodigal Son is a character in the parable of the Prodigal Son of Jesus Christ, recorded in the Gospel of Luke. In addition, this is the name of a person who has left a community of people or familiar activities in search of something more attractive, and then - usually after failures - returned to his previous life.
3 – An apostrophe is a non-literal spelling sign in the form of a superscript comma (“”). In English, it is used for two reasons: to indicate abbreviation and ownership. If we are talking about an abbreviation, then we can assume that by comparing himself with an apostrophe, the author wants to say , that shortening words does not deprive them of their meaning, but it is necessary to be able to understand their meaning. Thus, the author calls on you to look for what is hidden, think outside the box, go beyond, expand the boundaries of your consciousness.

Anything you want (atlas translation)

[Verse 1:]
I’m falling so quickly that I don’t have time to prepare for it.
One small mistake can lead to catastrophic consequences. 5
Everyone's circling the sky like birds of prey
There is only negativity everywhere, people are looking for benefits only for themselves.

Everyone is waiting for humanity to fall.
Everyone is praying for the world to end soon.
Everybody hopes they can be the chosen one
But I was born for this, born to run.

[Chorus:]
Get out your whip

I want to be a word
Falling from your lips,
A letter that you will tear up.

[Chorus:]
...through thick and thin,
I'm ready for anything
Whatever it takes.
To absolutely everything.

[Verse 2:]
I was always afraid to be like everyone else.
Looking at my body I felt like shit
Constantly worried about his appearance.
I want to become invisible.

I look at my past as if it were torture,
Everyone should experience this.
I will always be missing something, I am the prodigal son.
I was born to run, born for this.

[Chorus:]
Get out your whip
Harness me like a horse before a race
Hold me like a parachute ripcord
Break me down and build me up again.
I want to be a word
Falling from your lips,
A letter that you will tear up.
Break me and build me again...

[Chorus:]
...through thick and thin,
After all, I love it when adrenaline runs through my veins.
I'm ready for anything
'Cause I love the feeling that comes when I break the chains
Whatever it takes.
You take me to the very top and I'm ready
To absolutely everything.
Because I love it when adrenaline runs through my veins,
And I do everything necessary for this.

[Bridge:]
Hypocritical, narcissistic,
I don't want long introductions
And assumptions; I'm working on something I'm proud of.
Creative, I'm like the glue that holds the world together
And the vision we have lost.
I'm like an apostrophe, I'm just a symbol
Reminding that this world is more than it seems 6
I am a product of the system, I am a disaster.
And at the same time, I am a masterpiece, although I am also sick.
And when I'm gone,
At least I'll go to my grave happy
Leaving the fruit of your soul as a part of yourself.
I'm ready for anything...

5 - verbatim: Even tripping can be dangerous.
6 - An apostrophe (") in English is often used to shorten words.

At any cost (translation by Sergey Plakin from Saratov)

Falling too fast to prepare for landing
Being high in this world is dangerous.
Everyone who circles around me is vultures
Denying everything except nepotism.

Everyone is waiting for the Fall,
Everybody's praying for the end of the world
Everyone hopes that they can become the one and only.

[Chorus:]
Whip, whip,

I want to be a word, a word,

Tear me apart and glue me piece by piece.

[Chorus:]
At any cost!
I will do this at any cost!
At any cost!
At any cost!
After all, I love to feel the adrenaline flowing through my veins!
I will do this at any cost!

I was always afraid of becoming like everyone else
I suffered, looking at my body,
Attaching great importance to appearance.
I want to become invisible.

All these years seem like torture to me.
Everybody wants to be a part of them
I'm always not enough, I'm a prodigal son.
I was born to run, I was born to do this.

[Chorus:]
Whip, whip,
Drive me like a riding horse.
Hold on to me like a parachute ring.
Tear me apart and glue me piece by piece.
I want to be a word, a word,
Coming from your lips, lips.
A letter that you tear, tear.
Tear me apart and glue me piece by piece.

[Chorus:]
At any cost!
After all, I love to feel the adrenaline flowing through my veins!
I will do this at any cost!
Because I love the sound of breaking chains!
At any cost!
Take me to the top, I'm ready!
At any cost!
After all, I love to feel the adrenaline flowing through my veins!
I will do this at any cost!

[Transition:]
Hypocritical, selfish,
I don't want to be boxed in.
Purely hypothetically, I do what I am proud of.
I am unconventionally holding this world together, returning a long-forgotten vision.
I'm just an apostrophe, I'm just a symbol to remind you to take a broader view.
I'm just a product of the system, its disaster,
And at the same time, a masterpiece, although partially damaged.
And when I pass away,
At least I'll leave happy, glad that
That my soul will leave the body that has become part of it.
I will do this at any cost.

Imagine Dragons are an American rock band from Las Vegas, Nevada. The band mainly plays in the following styles: indie, electro-pop, pop-rock, alternative. The band consists of vocalist Dan Reynolds, guitarist Wayne Sherman, bassist/keyboardist Ben Macchia and drummer Daniel Platzman. The guys got together back in 2008, and debuted only in 2012 with the studio album Night Visions. The very first single took off and the guys gained the status of “Breakthrough Group of 2013.”

"Fictional Dragons" has nine awards in its arsenal. Two from the American Music Awards - as the best alternative team. One music Grammy - for the best rock performance. Five awards from the Billboard Music Awards, and one from the World Music Award. Solid, like five years of active musical activity.

Whatever It Takes is the third single from Evolve's third studio album, which was released in October of this year. It became the official anthem for wrestling matches. In the translation of the song Whatever It Takes, it becomes clear that the guys from Imagine Dragons are making a reference to the lack of adrenaline of a real hero, and sing about how it invigorates him to act at the edge of his capabilities. Therefore, it is not surprising that the world wrestling organization chose it as the soundtrack to pay-per-view broadcasts of fights.

Looking at my years like a martyrdom
Everybody needs to be a part of them
Never be enough from the particle sum
I was born to run, I was born for this
Whip, whip
Run me like a race horse
Hold me like a rip cord
Break me down and build me up
I wanna be the slip, slip
Word upon your lip, lip

Translation: Whatever it takes

[Verse 1]
Falling too fast to prepare for this.
Disconnecting from the world can be dangerous
Everyone is spinning predatorily
negative, unworthy.
Everyone is waiting for the fall of man,
Everybody's praying for the end of times
Everyone hopes that they might be the one.
Whip, whip,

Break me and strengthen me.
In a word on your lips, lips.
With a letter that you copy, you copy.
Break me and strengthen me.

[Chorus]
Whatever it takes
I do whatever it takes
When I break the chains.
Whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
Because I love the adrenaline in my veins.
I do what needs to be done.

[Verse 2]
Always afraid of being typical
Looking at my body, I feel unhappy.
Always clinging to what is visible
I want to be invisible.
Seeing my life as torture
Everyone should be part of this.
The sum of the particles will never be enough.
I was born to run, I was born to do this.
Whip, whip,
Race me like a racehorse
Hold me like a rope
Break me and strengthen me.
I want to slide, slide.
The word is on your lips, lips.
The letter you copy, copy.
Break me and strengthen me.

[Chorus]
Whatever it takes
Because I love the adrenaline in my veins.
I do whatever it takes
'Cause I like the way I feel
When I break the chains.
Whatever it takes
Take me to the top, I'm ready.
Whatever it takes
Because I love the adrenaline in my veins.
I do what needs to be done.

[Transition]
Hypocritical, selfish,
I don't want to be constrained.
Probably working on something I'm proud of.
Outside the box with the world glued together and the view lost -
I'm an apostrophe, I'm just a symbol to remind you
That there is more to see.
I'm just a product of the system, I'm a disaster
And yet a masterpiece, and yet half sick.
And when will I die,
At least I'll go to my grave and be happy.
Leave my soul in me
I do what needs to be done.
