Demons
Fatboy Slim (feat. Macy Gray) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think the preacher's coming back
And I'm frying 'cause all my love's electrifying
And I'm comfy like a cesspool
want to be with you
And it's my premonition
I better give my heart a listen
All of your demons will wither away
Ecstasy comes and they cannot stay
You'll understand when you come my way
'Cause all of my demons have withered away
They said he shook himself to death
I want to dance 'til my last breath
But mister disco only parties hard in Frisco
And I'm comfy like a cesspool
Want to be with you
And it's my premonition
I better give my heart a listen
And my preacher say
All of your demons will wither away
Ecstasy comes and they cannot stay
You'll understand when you come my way
'Cause all of my demons have withered away
The lyrics of "Demons" by Fatboy Slim seem to deal with mortality and the fleeting nature of life in the lyrics. One verse speaks of a woman who has had a heart attack and the possibility of meeting God or a preacher. In the other verse, the singer talks about a man who died from shaking too hard while dancing, which echoes the desire of the singer to dance until their last breath. The lyrics are cryptic, but the theme of the song seems to be that we all have inner demons, which we need to confront, and once we do, they will wither away.
The chorus is a message of hope and redemption. The singer tells us that once we face and overcome our demons, then we can experience ecstasy, which will make them wither away. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for overcoming personal struggles and reaching a state of peace, happiness, and inner harmony.
Overall, the lyrics of "Demons" are evocative, mysterious, and profound. They remind us of the impetus to dance and live life fully, while also grappling with our inner struggles, fears, and mortality.
