Demons
Heartist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I should have known that I was losing from the start.
When I look back and see the pain that I've caused,
Will I regret all the awful things I've done?
They'll haunt my dreams ???til it's over.
Could my heart be any colder?
They stood by me watching everything
Demons, I know my demons
They stood by me while I destroyed everything
Demons, my demons are me.
It's time I paid the price for what I've been,
But if my voice would carry, I would make amends.
Tear back the covers on the lies that I've spread.
Rewind and start again, rewind and start again.
They'll haunt my dreams ???til it's over.
Could my heart be any colder?
Demons, I know my demons
They stood by me watching everything
Demons, I know my demons
They stood by me while I destroyed everything
Demons, my demons are me.
Tears for my family.
A prayer for lovers and the son they laid to rest.
Was my pride the end of me?
Rewind and start again, rewind and start again.
I never cried for sympathy,
And when it came I just turned and walked away.
I wish you'd known what it meant to me.
I should have let you in.
Rewind and start again.
The lyrics of Heartist's song Demons explore themes of regret and accountability over past mistakes.

They acknowledge the presence of their inner demons, which have stood by and watched everything as they destroyed everything in their wake. The lyrics suggest a desire for redemption and to start again by tearing back the lies and making amends for past wrongdoings.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of the singer's demons being a part of them, almost as if they have become synonymous with their identity. The repetition of the phrase "Demons, my demons are me" reinforces the idea that the singer feels a sense of ownership over their mistakes and past actions.
The bridge of the song introduces new themes, including the idea of tears for family and prayers for lost loved ones. The lyric "Was my pride the end of me?" speaks to the idea that the singer's ego may have contributed to their downfall. However, there is still a glimmer of hope, with the suggestion to rewind and start again, indicating a desire for redemption and a chance to make things right.

I wish you'd known what it meant to me.
I regret not making you aware of its importance to me.
I should have let you in.
I should have opened up and shared my thoughts and feelings.
Rewind and start again.
I long to go back and do things differently.

Wow, cannot believe some of u bitching about the singer?! He's incredible. You cannot appreciate a great singer and lyricist until you hear others that actually cannot sing well.
