Demons
Boyce Avenue & Jennel Garcia 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 they fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale
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've 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 Boyce Avenue and Jennel Garcia is about the internal struggles one faces when dealing with their own demons. The lyrics symbolize the feeling of disappointment with oneself and society, where materialistic values reign and people hide their true nature behind a façade. The song talks about how we all have our demons inside us that we hide from the world, and it's a battle to keep them at bay. The singer wants to protect his loved ones from the horrors of his own mind, but he knows his demons are always looming, and there's no escape from them. The lyrics say, "And the ones we hail are the worst of all" refers to the fact that we often idolize the wrong people and ideas, which further feeds our demons. The song ends with a plea for help as the singer asks for his loved one to save him from his demons.
One of the interesting facts about the song is that it was originally written and recorded by the American rock band Imagine Dragons, and it was released as their second single from their debut album 'Night Visions.' This song went on to become a massive hit in the U.S. and worldwide, earning multi-Platinum certifications in many countries. Another interesting fact is that the Boyce Avenue and Jennel Garcia cover of "Demons" was released to raise awareness and funding for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
The song also has appeared in numerous TV shows and movies like "The Originals," "Teen Wolf," "The Fault in Our Stars," "Passengers," and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower." The song has a powerful and catchy chorus, making it a popular choice for cover songs and performances. The lyrics of the song also encourage listeners to be introspective and face their inner demons.

When the days are cold
During tough times
And the cards all fold
Everything goes wrong, one after the other
And the saints we see
People we look up to
Are all made of gold
Are not perfect, just like us
When your dreams they fail
When our aspirations don't become reality
And the ones we hail
People we thought were the best
Are the worst of all
Turn out to be flawed, perhaps even bad
And the blood's run stale
We feel exhausted from life's difficulties
I wanna hide the truth I wanna shelter you
I wish to protect you from the painful reality
But with the beast inside
But I struggle with my own conflicts and demons
There's nowhere we can hide
We can't escape from our own problems
No matter what we breed
No matter what type of person we are
We still are made of greed
We have our own selfish desires
This is my kingdom come
This is where I take charge of my own life
When you feel my heat
When you're near me and feel my emotions
Look into my eyes
Try to understand the conflict I'm experiencing
It's where my demons hide
It's where all my problems and personal flaws are kept hidden
Don't get too close
It might be dangerous to get involved with my problems
It's dark inside
My problems might not be easy to handle
At the curtain's call
At the end of life
It's the last of all
The final show has come
When the lights fade out
When everything comes to an end
All the sinners crawl
Everyone realizes their mistakes
So they dug your grave
Your death is coming
And the masquerade
And pretending it's not happening
Will come calling out
Will be revealed
At the mess you've made
At the problems and mistakes you've created
Don't wanna let you down
I don't wish to disappoint you
But I am hell bound
But I am struggling with my own personal problems
Though this is all for you
Even though I'm doing this for your sake
Don't wanna hide the truth
I can't keep my problems a secret any longer
They say it's what you make
They say we're in control of our own lives
I say it's up to fate
I believe that some things are beyond our control
It's woven in my soul
I can't change who I am at my core
I need to let you go
I might have to break away from people for my own health
Your eyes, they shine so bright
Your energy and enthusiasm inspire me
I wanna save that light
I wish to preserve your positive spirit
I can't escape this now
I can't ignore my own problems any longer
Unless you show me how
I might need help to find a way out
It's where my demons hide
It's where my personal issues are kept hidden
It's where my demons hide
It's where my personal issues are kept hidden

Lyrics
When the days are cold 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 and the blood's run stale
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
At the curtain's 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've 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 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
