Demons
Fatboy Slim Gray Macy 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
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
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
Comfy like a cesspool
Want to be with you, 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
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 to Fatboy Slim's song "Demons" could be interpreted in many ways, but at their core, they seem to convey a sense of wanting to be free from the things that hold us back. The chorus, "All of your demons will wither away, Ecstasy comes and they cannot stay," suggests that by letting go of our inner demons, we can experience a sense of ecstasy or joy that is hard to come by otherwise.
In the first verse, the singer seems to be reflecting on the fragility of life ("They say she had a heart attack"). The line "And I'm frying 'cause all my love's electrifying" could be interpreted in a few different ways, but one possibility is that the singer is feeling overwhelmed or overstimulated by their own emotions.
The second verse introduces a new character ("They said he shook himself to death"), but the theme of wanting to live life to the fullest remains the same. The line "But mister disco only parties hard in Frisco" suggests that the character is looking for a good time, but maybe in a place where they're not as known, or where the party scene is more intense.
As a whole, the lyrics to "Demons" seem to be about letting go of the things that hold us back in life, whether they be inner struggles or external pressures. The idea of "withering away" suggests a sense of decay or decay, but in this context, it seems to be a positive thing, a shedding of skin or old habits to make way for something new and exciting.
