Demons
Imagine Dragons (Cover By Jasmine Thompson) 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
Curtain’s 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've 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 song "Demons" by Imagine Dragons, Dzeko, and Torres is an emotional portrayal of the internal struggles that people face. The opening two lines, "When the days are cold and the cards all fold, And the saints we see are all made of gold," paint a picture of a difficult time in life, where it seems as though nothing is going right, and the people who were once thought of as heroes are not what they seem to be.
The chorus line, "I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you, But with the beast inside, There’s nowhere we can hide," shows the desire to protect oneself and loved ones from the harsh reality of life, but the inner demons that live within cannot be ignored for long. The following lyric, "No matter what we breed, We still are made of greed," speaks to the idea that humans, no matter their upbringing, will always have a sense of selfishness and self-preservation.
The ending lyrics, "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," represent the struggle to keep these inner demons concealed and away from those we love, for fear of hurting them or driving them away.
Overall, "Demons" is a powerful song about the human condition and our internal struggles. It speaks of the desire to protect oneself and loved ones from the darkness that lurks within, while also acknowledging that we cannot always escape or control the demons that reside within us.

When the days are cold
When life gets tough
And the cards all fold
And everything seems to be going wrong
And the saints we see
And the people we look up to
Are all made of gold
Are not as good as they appear
When your dreams all fail
When your aspirations don't pan out
And the ones we hail
And the people we praise
Are the worst of all
Are sometimes the most flawed
And the blood’s run stale
And everything feels stagnant
I wanna hide the truth
I want to keep secrets
I wanna shelter you
I want to protect you
But with the beast inside
But with the negative emotions inside
There’s nowhere we can hide
It's hard to escape from the negative emotions
No matter what we breed
No matter what type of people we create
We still are made of greed
We often have selfish desires
This is my kingdom come
This is the culmination of my efforts
When you feel my heat
When you sense my emotional presence
Look into my eyes
Pay attention to me
It’s where my demons hide
It's where my negative emotions reside
Don’t get too close
Be careful of getting too involved
It’s dark inside
The negative emotions can be overwhelming
Curtain’s call
The end of the show
Is the last of all
Is the final moment
When the lights fade out
When everything comes to an end
All the sinners crawl
Everyone has their struggles
So they dug your grave
They have already judged you
And the masquerade
And the pretense
Will come calling out
Will expose everything
At the mess you've made
At the negative consequences of your actions
Don't wanna let you down
I don't want to disappoint you
But I am hell bound
But I feel trapped by my negative emotions
Though this is all for you
Even though I'm doing this for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
I don't want to keep secrets
They say it's what you make
They say success is based on effort
I say it's up to fate
I think it's mostly due to luck
It's woven in my soul
It's an intrinsic part of me
I need to let you go
I need to move on from this relationship
Your eyes, they shine so bright
You have so much potential
I wanna save that light
I want to help you reach your potential
I can't escape this now
I am overwhelmed by my negative emotions
Unless you show me how
Unless you help me improve

[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

LETTER
Quando os dias estão difíceis, e você já tentou de tudo,
E as pessoas que vemos são todas feitas de ganância,
Quando nossos sonhos fracassam, e as pessoas que admiramos são as piores de todas,
A vida perde o sentido.
Quero esconder de vocês o que estou passando, não quero causar preocupações,
Mas da depressão dentro de mim não tem como se esconder.
Não importa se fizermos coisas boas, mesmo assim somos gananciosos.
O meu fim está chegando, o meu fim está chegando.
Quando você me ver sorrir, preste atenção no meu olhar,
É onde escondo minha tristeza, é onde escondo minha tristeza.
Não se aproxime de mim, não quero que se machuque.
É onde escondo minha tristeza, é onde escondo minha tristeza.
Quando eu fechar os olhos pela última vez, e chegar no inferno, e ver os demônios rastejando, eles me julgarão e apontarão o caos que eu deixei após meu suicídio.
Não quero decepcionar vocês mas vou para o inferno.
Apesar de vocês serem culpados pelo que fiz, não me importo que saibam que vocês foram culpados.
Não importa se fizermos coisas boas, mesmo assim somos gananciosos.
O meu fim está chegando, o meu fim está chegando.
Quando você me ver sorrir, preste atenção no meu olhar,
É onde escondo minha tristeza, é onde escondo minha tristeza.
Não se aproxime de mim, não quero que se machuque.
É onde escondo minha tristeza, é onde escondo minha tristeza.
Dizem que temos culpa por ficar assim, eu digo que é destino, está marcado na minha alma.
Você não merece sofrer por mim,
Você tem toda vida pela frente, você precisa me esquecer.
Não posso escapar, a não ser que você me mostre como.
Quando você me ver sorrir, preste atenção no meu olhar,
É onde escondo minha tristeza, é onde escondo minha tristeza.
Não se aproxime de mim, não quero que se machuque.
É onde escondo minha tristeza, é onde escondo minha tristeza.
