Demons
Joji Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sex, running
Fuck, got 'em
Look, spotted
Yuh, got 'em
Sex, running
Fuck, got 'em
Look, spotted
You're taking my heart now
They're taking my heart now
And I don't know why (got 'em)
And I don't know why (fuck, spotted, running)
Alright, alright, alright, alright
Alright, alright, alright (ay, ay, ay)
The demons told me everything
They whisper in the night (ay, ay, ay)
This is not a threat, I promise (nope)
I promise
This is not a threat, I promise
It's a warning baby
I just want you to know
That's when the summer caved in
And I've fallen in a trench, I'm behaving
I'm behaving myself (running)
I'm behaving myself (look, look, look, look)
We don't gotta die so soon
So I just behave for you (for you, for you)
We don't gotta die so soon
So I just behave for (shh, quiet)
This is not a threat, I promise (nope)
I promise
This is not a threat, I promise
It's a warning baby
I just want you to know
Please just let me go
Let me go
I've seen enough
I've seen enough
I've seen enough
(That sounds good)
The lyrics of Joji's song "Demons" are not just standard words randomly strung together, but rather a deep reflection of the emotional turmoil and struggle that the artist is experiencing. The song appears to be about a person who is haunted by demons, which they feel are whispering to them in the night. The demons are the manifestation of the person's past, which they cannot escape from despite their efforts to behave and subdue them. The artist sings that the demons have told him everything and he doesn't know why.
The artist understands that he needs to behave to avoid succumbing to the demons, but he is struggling and needs someone to help him. Joji sings that he just wants the person to know that this is not a threat but a warning. He promises that he won't hurt the person, but he just wants to let them know that he is not in control of himself.
The chorus of the song is a message to a loved one. It says that they don't have to die so soon, and he'll behave for them. The artist is asking for help from the person, hoping that they will be able to help him through his struggles with the demons.
