Demons
Fenech–Soler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well hello old friend
The night is dark, and I feel cold
The sun is setting
I need to get out before it starts

I can feel it and I know it's not the same
I'm the the wound; you're the drug to ease my pain
I was wondering if you'll ever see me again

I keep running and I don't know why
I see my demons and I just can't hide
Say no! I wanna let go!

I keep running and I don't know why
I see my demons and I just can't hide
Say no! I wanna let go!

Your voice is fading
A distant sound, a silent call
It keeps me waiting
The one to catch me if I fall

I can feel it and it's not the same
I'm the wound; you're the drug to ease my pain
I was wondering if you'll ever see me again

I keep running and I don't know why
I see my demons and I just can't hide
Say no! I wanna let go!

I keep running and I don't know why
I see my demons and I just can't hide
Say no! I wanna let go!

When there is so much at stake
Tell me is this real or is this fake
I'm circling around this room

I keep running and I don't know why




I see my demons and I just can't hide
Say no! I wanna let go!

Feeling a difference in the current situation compared to the past


I'm the wound; you're the drug to ease my pain

Your voice is fading
Not being able to hear the other person as well


A distant sound, a silent call
The other person's voice is slowly disappearing


It keeps me waiting
Being left in anticipation of what will happen next


The one to catch me if I fall
Expecting the other person to be there for them if they fail


When there is so much at stake
Feeling like a lot is on the line


Tell me is this real or is this fake
Questioning if the situation is genuine


I'm circling around this room
Feeling stuck and unable to escape
