Demons
Audiogroove 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 want to hide the truth
I want to 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
When the curtains call
Is 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 want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't want to 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 want to save their 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 Audiogroove is a powerful ballad that speaks to the internal struggle we all face within ourselves. The first verse speaks of a time in life when everything seems to be falling apart. Dreams have failed, heroes have become villains, and the world seems to be crumbling down around us. The chorus mentions the desire to hide the truth and shield someone from pain, but acknowledges that there is a beast inside of us that cannot be contained, and no matter how much we try to hide it, the darkness will eventually come to light. We are all made of greed, it is a part of who we are.
The second verse talks about the moment of reckoning that comes for everyone. When we come to the end of our lives, we must face the consequences of our actions. Even if we try to hide behind a mask, eventually, the truth will out. The singer expresses the desire to be a better person but feels trapped in their own internal struggles. They want to let go of their demons but can't do it alone. They need someone to show them the way.
Overall, the song explores the internal battle between the good and bad aspects of our nature. It acknowledges that we are all flawed and makes us question whether we can ever truly escape our own demons.
