Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Trust me, everybody think I'm fine
If you love me, would you know I'm not alright
Are you done please, I can't be alone at night
Gonna crush me, I don't feel like I'm alive

If y'all run the game I guess I'm losing all control now
Tell 'em take a seat I'm saying welcome to the show now
I can't really tell if I got friends or if they foes now
Yeah that's what I'm dealing with I guess that's how it goes now
Now I be running the game up
All of y'all saying the same stuff
Y'all be wondering how I be doing
And y'all need to stay in your lane, yeah
I know that we not the same, yeah
Someone tell 'em use their brain, yeah
Starting ripping piece 15 got the perfect flow and no stains, yeah
I really don't care what they say no more
Livin' in pain everyday no more
When I come back, bring it back, make it stack, never lack and I say, don't play no more, no more
Don't play no more
Stop right here, don't say no more
No more, don't play no more
Stop right here don't say no more
I don't even know doe, but I make a million
Hit me pretty low doe
Yeah I know the feeling
Hit me in my zone doe
Pain it started healing
Checking out my flow doe, you could never steal it

Y'all will never know my name
Y'all could never feel my pain
When they said I'll never make it
Now they beg me for some change
I can say that I'm okay
But I'm lying from the start
I'm telling you I'm pouring out my soul and give my heart
Leave me alone and play your part
I'm so sick of all the faking
How could they all love me
All they wanna do is take it
When I say that I'm okay
Please just check on me instead
I'm tryna run away from all the demons in my head

Trust me, everybody think I'm fine
If you love me, would you know I'm not alright
Are you done please, I can't be alone at night
Gonna crush me, I don't feel like I'm alive

I'm on my last day
I've been writing out my feelings just to backspace
I could tell you that my mind is in a bad space
Yeah I told 'em all I'm fine
It's an act babe, it's an act babe
And now you're on now
All the people that I love, oh, they're gone now
I can never get it back they're having fun now
I love the Devil and his eyes, and he won now
Now we're sworn down
Now I'm down here in the Hell of my soul
Lost everything now I'm losing control
They wonder what's next
At this point I don't know
I never ever thought I would make it this low
I'm so low

Help me
Can you make it out to help me?
I'm lost
Can you help me?




Can you make it out to help me?
I'm lost

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Demons" by Austin Patten showcase a person who feels trapped and isolated with their struggles. The opening lines, "Trust me, everybody thinks I'm fine / If you love me, would you know I'm not alright" sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting how people may appear fine on the surface, but are struggling internally. The person feels alone and unable to cope, as emphasized in the lines "Are you done please, I can't be alone at night / Gonna crush me, I don't feel like I'm alive."


Throughout the song, the person expresses their feelings of being caught up in something they can't control. The lines "Now I be running the game up / All of y'all saying the same stuff / Y'all be wondering how I be doing / And y'all need to stay in your lane," suggests a struggle with people not understanding their perspective or their struggles. The chorus repeats, emphasizing how alone the person is, feeling crushed and not truly alive. The final verse is perhaps the most heartbreaking as it describes feeling so low that they may never make it out, and reaching out for help that may never come.


Overall, "Demons" is an emotional and powerful track that speaks to those who may not feel like they can share their struggles with others. It highlights the importance of checking on those who may appear to be okay and suggests that those who may have everything may still struggle internally.
