Your Demon
Kids In The Way Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where she's goin', she runs into the night alone
The moon will guide her without a trace
I can't try to find her 'cause I don't know her face
I feel it, your demon
I see the daggers comin' from your eyes
And they cut right through me
I feel it, your demon
I see the daggers comin' from your eyes
And they cut right through me
Cut right through me
The hour's turnin', nobody sleeps
Her heart is burnin' to load her veins with what she needs
The moon will guide her into a place
I won't try to fight her 'cause I don't know her face
I feel it, your demon
I see the daggers comin' from your eyes
And they cut right through me
Cut right through me
I feel it, your demon
I see the daggers comin' from your eyes
And they cut right through me
Cut right through me
Life on the high is your alibi
And I'm tired of you runnin' from the truth
Life on the high is your alibi
And I'm tired of you runnin' from the truth
I feel it, your demon
I see the daggers comin' from your eyes
And they cut right through me
Cut right through me
I feel it, your demon
I see the daggers comin' from your eyes
And they cut right through me
Cut right through me
The lyrics to "Your Demon" by Kids In The Way seem to be about a woman who is trying to escape something or someone. She runs into the night alone, relying on the moon to guide her, and the singer can't even try to find her because he doesn't know what she looks like. In the chorus, the singer says he "feels" the demon of the person she is running from, and he can see the hatred in their eyes.
The second verse suggests that the woman is seeking something that she needs so badly that her heart is burning with it. Again, the moon guides her to a place where the singer won't try to fight her. The bridge seems to be directed at the person chasing her – perhaps they are living a life of denial or escapism, and the singer is tired of their lies.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be about a dangerous situation in which someone is desperately trying to escape someone or something, and the tension and fear are palpable.
