"Demons"

When the days are cold
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
And the blood′s run stale

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

Overall Meaning

The song "Demons" by Imagine Dragons is a powerful and haunting track that explores the idea of internal struggles and demons that we try to hide from the world. The song begins by describing a world where everything seems to be falling apart. Days are cold, dreams are failing, and even the saints are made of gold, suggesting a world that is superficial and fake. In this world, the only thing we can trust is the truth, which is why the singer wants to hide it and shelter someone from reality, even though the beast inside is always there.


The chorus repeats the idea that no matter what we do, we're all made of greed, and this is our kingdom come. The repetition of the line "it's where my demons hide" suggests that the singer is trying to expose the idea of our internal struggles that we keep hidden from the world. The bridge of the song introduces the idea that maybe things are predetermined, and the singer needs to let go of the person he's holding on to in order to escape from his internal struggles.


The song then returns to the chorus, but this time with a plea to the person he's addressing in the song. The singer wants to save their light and escape their darkness, but he needs their help to do it. The final repetition of "it's where my demons hide" is the singer's final plea for help, showing that even though the song is about how internal struggles can consume us, there is always a chance for redemption and escape.


Line by Line Meaning

When the days are cold
During times of emotional turmoil


And the cards all fold
Even when all hope seems lost


And the saints we see
When the people we look up to disappoint us


Are all made of gold
Even though they appear perfect to us


When your dreams all fail
When everything we hoped for falls apart


And the ones we hail
When the people we admire turn out to be the worst


Are the worst of all
The most disappointing ones


And the blood's run stale
When everything around us seems lifeless


I wanna hide the truth
To spare others the pain of knowing the reality


I wanna shelter you
To protect someone else from feeling the same pain as me


But with the beast inside
But with my inner demons controlling me


There's nowhere we can hide
I can't protect you from my own struggles


No matter what we breed
Regardless of how we were raised or who we become


We still are made of greed
We will always have selfishness and desires within us


This is my kingdom come
This is the result of my own actions


When you feel my heat
When you feel the intensity of my emotions


Look into my eyes
See the real me


It's where my demons hide
Where my inner turmoil is hidden


Don't get too close
Don't get too involved with me


It's dark inside
My emotions can be overwhelming and negative


At the curtain's call
At the end of a situation, relationship or life


It's the last of all
The final part of something


When the lights fade out
When everything is over


All the sinners crawl
All people, including myself, are flawed


So they dug your grave
When it's too late to make amends


And the masquerade
The facade that people put on


Will come calling out
Revealing the truth behind the facade


At the mess you made
The chaos and destruction caused by our actions


Don't wanna let you down
I don't want to disappoint you


But I am hell bound
But I am stuck in my own personal struggles


Though this is all for you
I am trying to do this for your own good


Don't wanna hide the truth
I don't want to keep secrets from you anymore


They say it's what you make
People say that your life is what you create for yourself


I say it's up to fate
I believe that destiny plays a role in our lives


It's woven in my soul
It's a fundamental part of who I am


I need to let you go
I know I need to move on from this


Your eyes, they shine so bright
I am captivated by your beauty and spirit


I wanna save that light
I want to help you keep that light shining


I can't escape this now
I feel trapped in my own struggles


Unless you show me how
I need your help to find a way out of this

When the days
Are cold 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
And the blood's run stale
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
(When the) curtain's call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug
Your grave and the
Mas-quer-ade
Will come call-ing 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

This song almost got me teary eyed. It's beautiful. Whatever all of us have been through, either sexual abuse, violence, war, blood, drugs, drama, selfish and stupid arguments,....




We all matter to God.


If we ever feel empty and lost, we need to talk it out. And if we don't, we won't grow to be healthy. I've personally been through sexual abuse, and I became...




Depressed, Traumatized, Scared, and empty..





We all need to talk about what we've been through. If you need to cry, cry. It's okay. You're not the only one that has anxiety.. I have it too... we should show our horrible scars we've hidden, and tell someone what happen to us. I have. #1 rule: It needs to be someone you trust. I love you all. Don't give up hope on whatever you want to be and do. It's possible to be your dream. 😇

i'm homephobic, dont show me houses

Someone said this in another lyrics video, but he made this song for a fan of his that died of cancer. Which makes me cry, and I found these lyrics that match this :

"The Blood's run stale"
"When the light's fade out"
"So they dug your grave"
"Don't wanna let you down"
"Though this is all for you"

"Your eyes they shine so bright, I wanna save that light"

That's all I got from the lyrics, have a wonderful day.
