Demon Love
ASP Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I thought it would be
A one-night-stand I could have lived with that
But now it seems to me
I'm just a fly that is caught in your net
The things you gave me were
The things I needed most but dreaded more
I wonder why you dared
To show me what I'm longing longing for

Now you've torn down my walls
The walls built to protect me against this
You pushed me now I fall
The strongest man can be slain by a kiss
You trespassed on my frontiers
I felt this time I would not be deceived
You took away my fears
I opened up once more to see you leave

Your poison kiss spread through my body
Finally it reached my heart
I fall down on my knees and cry
I should have known it from the start

Demon Love
Demon Love
You make me despise myself
Degrade myself
Have mercy
Demon Love
Demon Love
You make me despise myself
Degrade myself
Have mercy
Pass me by

I wrote love-letters on
Your skin they still burn on my fingertips
And even now you're gone
Your taste it still remains upon my lips
How could you be so mean
Your touch showed me a glimpse of paradise
You linger in my dreams
I still can feel you when I close my eyes
You cracked me like a nut
To suck my heart and chew and spit it out
You leave me cracked up
Defenceless, nameless and without a doubt
You knew exactly what (You'd cause if you don't stop)
What did you gain except the certainty
So what did you get out
Of knowing you can make a fool of me
(I could have told you before)

Your poison kiss spread through my body
Finally it reached my heart
I fall down on my knees and cry
I should have known it from the start

Overall Meaning

The song “Demon Love” by ASP is a somber, haunting track that speaks about the pain of falling in love with someone who is toxic and dangerous. The singer in the song thought at first that what they were getting into was just a one-night stand, but realized too late that they were caught in a web spun by the person they had fallen for. The singer is devastated by the effect this person has had on them, breaking down their defenses, leaving them vulnerable and hurting.


Throughout the song, the singer expresses feelings of self-loathing and degradation at the hands of the person they have fallen for. They are torn between the pleasure they felt in their lover's touch and the pain that their presence has caused. The chorus, "Demon Love, Demon Love, You make me despise myself, Degrade myself, have mercy, Pass me by" captures the struggle of the singer who desperately wants to leave this person's hold on them, but also wants to experience the rush of passion that only they can provide.


Ultimately, the song serves as a warning about the dangers of getting involved with someone who is toxic and untrustworthy. The singer saw the signs too late and now can only look back on what could have been, wishing they had never fallen into the arms of this demon.


Line by Line Meaning

Well I thought it would be
At first, I believed this was a temporary romantic interest


A one-night-stand I could have lived with that
I was okay with a one-time sexual encounter


But now it seems to me
This relationship is becoming more complicated and less casual


I'm just a fly that is caught in your net
I feel trapped and powerless in this relationship


The things you gave me were
Your gifts were both desirable and terrifying to me


The things I needed most but dreaded more
I desired your attention but feared the consequences of your affection


I wonder why you dared
I'm surprised you took the risk of getting involved with me


To show me what I'm longing longing for
You revealed to me the depth of my desire for you


Now you've torn down my walls
The emotional barriers I erected have been shattered


The walls built to protect me against this
I put up defenses to shield me from the pain and vulnerability of love


You pushed me now I fall
Your actions caused my resistance to collapse, leaving me exposed


The strongest man can be slain by a kiss
Even the most powerful and confident individuals can be undone by the allure of physical intimacy


You trespassed on my frontiers
You crossed boundaries I had established to safeguard myself


I felt this time I would not be deceived
I believed I had learned from past mistakes and was equipped to handle this relationship


You took away my fears
You temporarily assuaged my anxieties about love


I opened up once more to see you leave
I allowed myself to be vulnerable to you again only to be disappointed once more


Your poison kiss spread through my body
Your toxic touch pervaded my entire being


Finally it reached my heart
You ultimately infected my emotions and spirit


I fall down on my knees and cry
I am overwhelmed by the pain and regret of this experience


I should have known it from the start
In retrospect, I realize that I should have been able to anticipate the negative outcome of this relationship


Demon Love
Your love is demonic and corrupt


You make me despise myself
You have reduced my self-esteem and self-worth


Degrade myself
I feel humiliated and ashamed due to the nature of this relationship


Have mercy
I appeal for compassion and leniency


Pass me by
I hope to avoid future entanglements with you


I wrote love-letters on
I expressed my love for you through written words


Your skin they still burn on my fingertips
The memory of our physical intimacy lingers in my mind


And even now you're gone
Although you are no longer present in my life


Your taste it still remains upon my lips
I can still remember the sensation of your kiss


How could you be so mean
I am bewildered by your cruelty and harshness


Your touch showed me a glimpse of paradise
Your physical affection was briefly heavenly and euphoric


You linger in my dreams
You still haunt my subconscious mind


I still can feel you when I close my eyes
I can vividly recall the sensations of our intimate encounters


You cracked me like a nut
You exploited my weaknesses and made me vulnerable


To suck my heart and chew and spit it out
You consumed my emotions and then discarded them


You leave me cracked up
You have left me broken and damaged


Defenceless, nameless and without a doubt
I am now helpless, anonymous, and completely certain of your harm


You knew exactly what
You were fully aware of the negative consequences of your actions


(You'd cause if you don't stop)
You deliberately persisted in engaging in harmful acts against me


What did you gain except the certainty
What did you achieve besides harming me and making your troubles more pronouncedly real?


So what did you get out
What benefit did you receive


Of knowing you can make a fool of me
By learning that you could deceive and exploit me


(I could have told you before)
I regret not realizing and addressing these dangers in advance

Essa música me faz chorar, mas é linda 😍

near 10 years and a bit of the "demon" i shared this song.... is always on my side

Darkest Hate

Gänsehaut, live der Hammer.

Rotten Cabbage

Heard this ages ago but could not remember its name, so happy I found it again. Eisbrecher really need to cover, or maybe Disturbed both have the perfect voice type to cover this.

Shadowman820

Would be nice but something tells me Disturbed do not know of ASP .

Ayame471989

Es gibt ein Kammer von Die Kammer (Minimized).

I agree
