Who We Are Lyrics -Imagine Dragons
Who We Are was written by the Dragons for the Hunger Games Catching Fire Soundtrack. The song’s lyrics allude to District 12, a region of the fictional country of Panem in The Hunger Games universe, subject to the nation’s mining industry, and recounts the feelings of the rebels in District 12 at the onset of the rebellion towards the end of Catching Fire. In addition, the song makes several apparent references to The Hunger Games, especially the events of Catching Fire, including the attic where the protagonists of the novel meet during the rebellion of District 11 and “the view from up here”, which references Katniss Everdeen’s strategy of climbing trees to get a better view of the arena during the Hunger Games themselves.| Song Name : | Who We Are |

Up in the morning, up in the eveningPicking up clocks when the birds come back to eatOh, to eatUp on the mountain, down in the king’s lairPushing these blocks in the heat of the afternoonOh, afternoon
We were never welcome hereWe were never welcome here at allNo-oh
Oh, it’s who we areDoesn’t matter if we’ve gone too farDoesn’t matter if it’s all okayDoesn’t matter if it’s not our dayOh, won’t you save us from what we are?Don’t look clear, and it’s all uphill from hereOh-oh
Up in the attic, down in the cellarLost in the static, coming back for moreOh, for moreOut with the reason, in with the seasonTaking down names in my book of jealousyJealousy
We were never welcome hereWe were never welcome here at allNo-oh
Oh, it’s who we areDoesn’t matter if we’ve gone too farDoesn’t matter if it’s all okayDoesn’t matter if it’s not our day
Because it’s who we areDoesn’t matter if we’ve gone too farDoesn’t matter if it’s all okayDoesn’t matter if it’s not our dayOh, won’t you save us from what we are?Don’t look clear, and it’s all uphill from hereOh-oh
They say we’re crazyThey say we’re crazyThey say we’re crazyThey say we’re crazyThey say we’re crazyThey say we’re crazyThey say we’re crazyThey say we’re crazy
Oh, it’s who we areDoesn’t matter if we’ve gone too farDoesn’t matter if it’s all okayDoesn’t matter if it’s not our day
Because it’s who we areDoesn’t matter if we’ve gone too farDoesn’t matter if it’s all okayDoesn’t matter if it’s not our dayOh, won’t you save us from what we are?Don’t look clear, and it’s all uphill from here (it always is)(They say we’re crazy) oh
