Hold Me Down
Halsey. Lyrics

My demons are begging me to open up my mouth
The person feels like their inner demons are pushing them to speak out about something.

I need them, mechanically make the words come out
The person feels like they rely on their inner demons to help them express themselves.

They fight me, vigorous and angry, watch them pounce
The inner demons are powerful and sometimes difficult to control.

Ignite me, licking up the flames they bring about
The inner demons can bring intense emotions to the surface.

I sold my soul to a three-piece, And he told me I was holy
The person has given in to temptation and made a deal with someone who gave them a sense of self-worth.

He's got me down on both knees, But it's the devil that's tryna
The person feels like they are being controlled by their temptations, even though they know it's not good for them.

Hold me down, hold me down, Sneaking out the back door, make no sound
The person wants to escape their temptations, but they feel trapped and don't want to draw attention to themselves.

Knock me out, knock me out, Saying that I want more, this is what I live for
The person knows their temptations are harmful, but they can't help but keep going back to them.

Selfish, taking what I want and call it mine, I'm helpless, clinging to a little bit of spine
The person acknowledges their flaws and weaknesses, but they still struggle to resist their temptations.

They rush me, telling me I'm running out of time, They shush me (sssh), walking me across a fragile line
The person feels like their inner demons are pressuring them to act quickly and recklessly, even though they know it's dangerous.

Hold me down now, Hold me down now, Hold me down
The person feels like they need help and support to resist their temptations.
