Demons
Alonzo Holt feat. Lonnie Pinciatti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
At the curtain's call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
The song "Demons" by Alonzo Holt feat. Lonnie Pinciatti talks about inner darkness and demons that reside within an individual. It portrays a feeling of hopelessness when everything seems to be collapsing around, and the people who were thought to be saints end up being the worst. The lyrics create a mental image of a person seeking to protect another individual from the demons inside him/her. The persona of the song wishes to hide this darkness to shelter the person they care about, but they realize that it's impossible. The beast inside can't be hidden forever, and there's nowhere to run away from it.
The track goes further to explore themes of sin, masquerading, and greed. The persona sings about how humans are inherently greedy, and no matter what they breed, this greed always plagues them. The song portrays that this greed is what leads human beings to create their own kingdoms, where they become kings and queens, and everything else is beneath them. In the end, the persona understands that they are drifting away from the person they love, and the demons have taken over. The final lines illustrate a plea, begging the other person to help them find a way to overcome this darkness and be free.

When the days are cold
During difficult times
And the cards all fold
When everything seems to be going wrong
And the saints we see
People we look up to
Are all made of gold
Appearances can be deceiving
When your dreams all fail
When things do not go as planned
And the ones we hail
People we admire
Are the worst of all
Disappointment in those we thought highly of
And the blood's run stale
Boredom and lack of passion
I wanna hide the truth
Trying to keep something secret
I wanna shelter you
Trying to protect someone
But with the beast inside
Internal struggle
There's nowhere we can hide
Impossible to escape inner demons
No matter what we breed
Regardless of upbringing and environment
We still are made of greed
Human nature can be negative
This is my kingdom come
Accepting who you are
When you feel my heat
Intense emotions
Look into my eyes
Connecting with someone
It's where my demons hide
Inner turmoil
Don't get too close
Warning someone to be careful
It's dark inside
Difficult to confront inner struggles
At the curtain's call
End of something
It's the last of all
Final moments
When the lights fade out
Loss of hope
All the sinners crawl
Fear and desperation
So they dug your grave
Consequences of actions
And the masquerade
Hiding true intentions
Will come calling out
Confronting mistakes
At the mess you made
Taking responsibility for actions
Don't wanna let you down
Trying to avoid disappointing someone
But I am hell bound
Trapped in a difficult situation
Though this is all for you
Doing something for someone else
Don't wanna hide the truth
Being honest about something
They say it's what you make
Life is what you create
I say it's up to fate
Believing in destiny
It's woven in my soul
Inherent part of oneself
I need to let you go
Moving on from someone
Your eyes, they shine so bright
Admiration for somebody
I wanna save that light
Wanting to protect and preserve someone's essence
I can't escape this now
Feeling trapped in a situation
Unless you show me how
Realizing the need for help from someone else

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
[Verse 2]
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game, and we're gonna play it
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh (Give you up)
Ooh-ooh (Give you up)
Ooh-ooh
Never gonna give, never gonna give (Give you up)
Ooh-ooh
Never gonna give, never gonna give (Give you up)
[Bridge]
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game, and we're gonna play it
[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

LETTER
Quando os dias estão difíceis, e você já tentou de tudo,
E as pessoas que vemos são todas feitas de ganância,
Quando nossos sonhos fracassam, e as pessoas que admiramos são as piores de todas,
A vida perde o sentido.
Quero esconder de vocês o que estou passando, não quero causar preocupações,
Mas da depressão dentro de mim não tem como se esconder.
Não importa se fizermos coisas boas, mesmo assim somos gananciosos.
O meu fim está chegando, o meu fim está chegando.
Quando você me ver sorrir, preste atenção no meu olhar,
É onde escondo minha tristeza, é onde escondo minha tristeza.
Não se aproxime de mim, não quero que se machuque.
É onde escondo minha tristeza, é onde escondo minha tristeza.
Quando eu fechar os olhos pela última vez, e chegar no inferno, e ver os demônios rastejando, eles me julgarão e apontarão o caos que eu deixei após meu suicídio.
Não quero decepcionar vocês mas vou para o inferno.
Apesar de vocês serem culpados pelo que fiz, não me importo que saibam que vocês foram culpados.
Não importa se fizermos coisas boas, mesmo assim somos gananciosos.
O meu fim está chegando, o meu fim está chegando.
Quando você me ver sorrir, preste atenção no meu olhar,
É onde escondo minha tristeza, é onde escondo minha tristeza.
Não se aproxime de mim, não quero que se machuque.
É onde escondo minha tristeza, é onde escondo minha tristeza.
Dizem que temos culpa por ficar assim, eu digo que é destino, está marcado na minha alma.
Você não merece sofrer por mim,
Você tem toda vida pela frente, você precisa me esquecer.
Não posso escapar, a não ser que você me mostre como.
Quando você me ver sorrir, preste atenção no meu olhar,
É onde escondo minha tristeza, é onde escondo minha tristeza.
Não se aproxime de mim, não quero que se machuque.
É onde escondo minha tristeza, é onde escondo minha tristeza.
