Demons

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 want to hide the truth
I want to shelter you
But with the beast inside
Thereโs 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
Itโs where my demons hide
Itโs where my demons hide
Donโt get too close
Itโs dark inside
Itโs where my demons hide
Itโs where my demons hide
When the curtainโs call
Is 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
Donโt want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Donโt want to 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
Itโs where my demons hide
Itโs where my demons hide
Donโt get too close
Itโs dark inside
Itโs where my demons hide
Itโs 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 want to save their light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
Itโs where my demons hide
Itโs where my demons hide
Donโt get too close
Itโs dark inside
Itโs where my demons hide
Itโs where my demons hide
The song "Demons" by Imagine Dragons describes the internal struggles of the singer- a person battling their own demons while trying to hold on to hope in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, establishing the feeling of hopelessness and despair. The singer feels like the only comfort they can offer is to hide the truth of their inner turmoil from others. However, they acknowledge that their demons are always present and impossible to hide.
The chorus of the song repeatedly asserts that no matter how much we try to be better, human nature inevitably leads us towards greed and corruption. The lines "This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come" can be interpreted as the realization that we all have demons and our own internal battles, and that ultimately we are in control of our own fate.
In the second verse, the singer expresses guilt for letting down a person close to them, and acknowledges the inevitability of their own downfall. They know they are going to hell, but hope that by facing their demons head-on they can save the person they care about from the same fate.
Overall, "Demons" is a deeply introspective and emotional song that speaks to the struggles of human nature and the desire to overcome our inner demons.

When the days are cold
When life is bleak
And the cards all fold
And everything falls apart
And the saints we see
And the people we look up to
Are all made of gold
Are not always as perfect as they seem
When your dreams all fail
When your hopes and aspirations are crushed
And the ones we hail
And the people we celebrate
Are the worst of all
Are actually the most flawed
And the bloodโs run stale
And things have gone stale
I want to hide the truth
I want to keep things from you
I want to shelter you
I want to protect you
But with the beast inside
But with my own inner demons
Thereโs nowhere we can hide
We can't escape them
No matter what we breed
No matter what we create
We still are made of greed
We still have an inherent selfishness
This is my kingdom come
This is where I have control
This is my kingdom come
This is my domain
When you feel my heat
When you feel my passion
Look into my eyes
See into my soul
Itโs where my demons hide
Itโs where my inner struggles lie
Itโs where my demons hide
It's where I'm most vulnerable
Donโt get too close
Donโt get too intimately involved
Itโs dark inside
There's a darkness within
Itโs where my demons hide
Itโs where my inner demons reside
Itโs where my demons hide
It's where my deepest fears are found
When the curtainโs call
When the show is over
Is the last of all
Is the end of everything
When the lights fade out
When everything goes dark
All the sinners crawl
Everyone becomes their true selves
So they dug your grave
So they brought about your downfall
And the masquerade
And the false faces we wear
Will come calling out
Will be exposed
At the mess you made
At the chaos you caused
Donโt want to let you down
I don't want to disappoint you
But I am hell bound
But I'm going to follow through with my actions
Though this is all for you
Despite doing this for your benefit
Donโt want to hide the truth
I don't want to keep secrets
They say it's what you make
People expect you to create your own destiny
I say it's up to fate
I believe destiny is predetermined
It's woven in my soul
It's a part of who I am
I need to let you go
I need to release you from my grasp
Your eyes, they shine so bright
You have a bright future ahead of you
I want to save their light
I want to protect your potential
I can't escape this now
I can't get away from my issues
Unless you show me how
Unless you provide a way out

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
[Verse 2]
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game, and we're gonna play it
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh (Give you up)
Ooh-ooh (Give you up)
Ooh-ooh
Never gonna give, never gonna give (Give you up)
Ooh-ooh
Never gonna give, never gonna give (Give you up)
[Bridge]
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it
Inside, we both know what's been going on
We know the game, and we're gonna play it
[Pre-Chorus]
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
[Chorus]
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Quando os dias estรฃo difรญceis, e vocรช jรก tentou de tudo,
E as pessoas que vemos sรฃo todas feitas de ganรขncia,
Quando nossos sonhos fracassam, e as pessoas que admiramos sรฃo as piores de todas,
A vida perde o sentido.
Quero esconder de vocรชs o que estou passando, nรฃo quero causar preocupaรงรตes,
Mas da depressรฃo dentro de mim nรฃo tem como se esconder.
Nรฃo importa se fizermos coisas boas, mesmo assim somos gananciosos.
O meu fim estรก chegando, o meu fim estรก chegando.
Quando vocรช me ver sorrir, preste atenรงรฃo no meu olhar,
ร onde escondo minha tristeza, รฉ onde escondo minha tristeza.
Nรฃo se aproxime de mim, nรฃo quero que se machuque.
ร onde escondo minha tristeza, รฉ onde escondo minha tristeza.
Quando eu fechar os olhos pela รบltima vez, e chegar no inferno, e ver os demรดnios rastejando, eles me julgarรฃo e apontarรฃo o caos que eu deixei apรณs meu suicรญdio.
Nรฃo quero decepcionar vocรชs mas vou para o inferno.
Apesar de vocรชs serem culpados pelo que fiz, nรฃo me importo que saibam que vocรชs foram culpados.
Nรฃo importa se fizermos coisas boas, mesmo assim somos gananciosos.
O meu fim estรก chegando, o meu fim estรก chegando.
Quando vocรช me ver sorrir, preste atenรงรฃo no meu olhar,
ร onde escondo minha tristeza, รฉ onde escondo minha tristeza.
Nรฃo se aproxime de mim, nรฃo quero que se machuque.
ร onde escondo minha tristeza, รฉ onde escondo minha tristeza.
Dizem que temos culpa por ficar assim, eu digo que รฉ destino, estรก marcado na minha alma.
Vocรช nรฃo merece sofrer por mim,
Vocรช tem toda vida pela frente, vocรช precisa me esquecer.
Nรฃo posso escapar, a nรฃo ser que vocรช me mostre como.
Quando vocรช me ver sorrir, preste atenรงรฃo no meu olhar,
ร onde escondo minha tristeza, รฉ onde escondo minha tristeza.
Nรฃo se aproxime de mim, nรฃo quero que se machuque.
