In "Demons" by Doja Cat, the lyrics explore the artist's triumph over her personal demons and the impact it has on those who doubted her. The song starts by questioning how her demons look now that her pockets are full, suggesting that her success and financial stability have silenced her doubters. She takes pride in her accomplishments and flaunts her wealth, declaring that she now lives a lifestyle that others can only dream of. By quitting nicotine and focusing on her career, she asserts her dedication and commitment.
Doja Cat further emphasizes her dominance and confidence, asserting that she brings both the heat and cold while challenging others to keep up with her. She asserts her queen-like status, claiming to see through others' motives and recognizing any attempts to gain access to her VIP status. The lyrics turn confrontational as she describes her enemies and criticizes their behavior. She calls out their drug use and pokes fun at their misguided attempts to gain attention. Ultimately, she celebrates her own success and dismisses those who may be envious or critical.
Overall, "Demons" by Doja Cat showcases the artist's self-assuredness and resilience in the face of adversity. It highlights her triumph over personal struggles and the confidence she has gained as a result. The lyrics also touch upon themes of materialism, ambition, and the pressures of maintaining success in the music industry.

I don't mean to offend you, but if you're going to a Roman Catholic "church" ("Saturday and Sunday" services), you're going right into the lap of Satan! The Vatican is Luciferian all the way, sad to say. Always was, and is prophesied about in the book of Revelation, chp. 17, the last book in the Holy Bible. The current pope is an ungodly Jesuit priest! Pls don't believe me; check out the heinous oath he had to swear to so he could become one: Google: "Jesuit Extreme Oath of Induction - REFORMATION. When you get to the actual oath, ask yourself the question, "Is something a loving, just, and forgiving God would want His children to do to others?"
Roman Catholic history is replete with accounts of heinous crimes against humanity, including each other! Pls don't get me wrong, I love the Roman Catholic people; they're very good and nice people, for the most part. Sadly, most have not read their Bibles to discover the mandates of the Vatican and other control features are anti-Christ. They're not encouraged by their priest to do so either, because the Holy Bible will expose their evil deeds, and unbiblical practices.
Also, avoid the Word of Faith cult, the New Apostolic Reformation, and the Dominionism cults. They teach, preach, and practice what the Bible calls "heresy". Most of them are actually offshoots of the Vatican system originally, and in recent decades have gone back in under the jurisdiction of the papacy, even though they knew better! They were drag nets to lure and to take people away from biblically sound churches.
Avoid churches with smoke machines and no bibles, "Christian" tarot cards, laughing in the spirit, jerking of the bodies, twitching, barking like dogs, puking all over the place, prophesying with every other syllable, or saying, "I have a word from God for you." RUN from such! Check out the YT channel, "Justin Peters Ministries" for a good analysis of churches to avoid. A couple of really genuine pastors are: JDFarag.org; "Get a Life Ministries" (Pastor Billy Crone); "Real Life with Pastor Jack Hibbs", Pastor Tom Hughes, "Hope For Today", Pastor James Kaddis, and one more...Pastor Adrian Rogers.
Here's a video Pastor Jack Hibbs just uploaded 5 hrs. ago...he answers a lot of questions in this one. I'm sure you'll appreciate his ministry! https://youtu.be/fajnCsF2yog
PLEASE find a Bible strong and solid Baptist church where ALL of the truth is preached. Most (not all) pastors are wolves in sheep's clothing these days, as Jesus said they'd be. Most are "feel good" motivational preachers, and their churches are seriously tainted with demonic symbols, games, rites, and phrases. If they don't preach about Jesus, our sinful state, and our need for salvation, then they're in it for the money, popularity, etc.. It's nothing more than a social club. If they don't preach against ALL sin, or for the need of a personal relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, the Son, then that is not the church to be attending.
The Apostle John tells us in I John 4: 1-5. Before getting too caught up in any church over a period of time, always ask to speak with the pastor the first time you're there! Ask him, "Do you believe Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins? Do you believe I have to be born again / saved to go to heaven (John 3: 5-7)?.Do you believe He was buried, and rose again on the third day, and is coming back again? If he cannot readily give you an answer to those questions, RUN from that place! He and his flock are deceived. God bless you, as you try to find a truly holy and committed body of genuine Christians!

All horror movie references I could see:
The Shining: 1:23
A Nightmare on Elm Street: 1:41
Skinamarink/Poltergeist: 2:31
REC/Quarantine: 2:58
Paranormal Activity 2: 3:15
Those are all the ones I could see for the first time.

@Mr.Lightshine
Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless!
And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved!
1. Believe that God sent His Son
(Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later.
2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you!
3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever.
4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever.
I'm Praying for you and you are loved!
(Romans 10:9-13))
