Demons
Gareth Bush & Morgan Kingdon 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 all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
I wanna hide the truth
I wanna 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
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 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 lyrics to Gareth Bush & Morgan Kingdon's song Demons are haunting and introspective, capturing the emotional turmoil that one can feel when faced with their inner demons. The first verse sets the stage by describing a time of darkness and despair, when even the most revered figures are shown to have flaws. The chorus of "This is my kingdom come" is a stark acknowledgment of the fact that no matter how much one may try to hide their flaws, they cannot be denied, and that they too have a place in the world.
The second verse delves deeper into the personal struggles of the singer, with lines like "I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you, But with the beast inside, There's nowhere we can hide" speaking to the desire to protect someone from the darker aspects of themselves. The bridge of "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" is a poignant reflection on the futility of fighting against one's demons, and the need to accept them as a part of oneself.
Overall, Demons is a powerful song that speaks to the universal struggles of the human condition, and the need to confront our own inner demons.

When the days are cold
During trying times
And the cards all fold
When everything is going wrong
And the saints we see
Role models that we want to aspire to be like
Are all made of gold
Appearances can be deceiving
When your dreams all fail
When your hopes and aspirations are crushed
And the ones we hail
Even heroes have flaws
Are the worst of all
People who we look up to can be the most disappointing
And the blood's run stale
When everything is stagnant
I wanna hide the truth
Afraid of being vulnerable
I wanna shelter you
Trying to protect someone else from emotional pain
But with the beast inside
The darkness within oneself
There's nowhere we can hide
Nowhere to escape personal demons
No matter what we breed
Humanity is innately selfish
We still are made of greed
Selfishness is part of our nature
This is my kingdom come
This is the result of our own doing
When you feel my heat
When things can get heated
Look into my eyes
Look at what lies beneath the surface
It's where my demons hide
Where our deepest, darkest fears are kept
Don't get too close
Warning that they are damaged and could hurt others
It's dark inside
The darkness they keep hidden
At the curtain's call
When everything ends
It's the last of all
The final moment
When the lights fade out
End of something
All the sinners crawl
Everything and everyone crumbles in the end
So they dug your grave
The end of someone you love
And the masquerade
The societal facade
Will come calling out
Eventually everything is exposed
At the mess you made
At the chaos that resulted from the decisions taken
Don't wanna let you down
Afraid of disappointing others
But I am hell bound
Trapped in one's own demons
Though this is all for you
Doing everything for someone else
Don't wanna hide the truth
Wants to be honest and genuine
They say it's what you make
Some people believe that one's destiny is in their own hands
I say it's up to fate
Others believe that what happens is meant to be
It's woven in my soul
Something that is an innate part of one's being
I need to let you go
Knowing when it's time to move on
Your eyes, they shine so bright
The beauty in someone else
I wanna save that light
Wishing to hold onto the good in people
I can't escape this now
Unable to avoid the situation
Unless you show me how
Need support to move forward
