Kim Petras Lyrics
Kim Petras Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They've never existed in physical form
They only exist in spirit form
It's true evil
Demons
Kim Petras's song
At the core of the song is the idea that these spirits are not only haunting the physical space, but also the minds and hearts of those who reside there. They are a form of malevolent energy that can influence and corrupt individuals, leading them down a path of destruction. The lyrics are a call to recognize the danger and presence of these spirits, and to confront them head on in order to rid oneself of their influence.
Line by Line Meaning
The spirits are why the house is possessed
The presence of spirits in the house is the reason for its possession
They've never existed in physical form
These spirits have never manifested in a corporeal manner
They only exist in spirit form
Their existence is solely confined to the realm of spirits
It's true evil
The spirits' malevolent nature represents real evil
Demons
These spirits could be identified as demons
