My Demon
Mercyful Fate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This house is deep insane, this house was never mine
[Chorus]
Deep in the dark you will find us
Demon and I we are both deep inside
Yes my demon and I we are mine
All of the broken mirrors, it's here to stay forever
[Chorus]
Come along, come along, meet
My demon, demon, my demon, demon
The poison deep within, I can't let him out again
The dark stains on the floor, they won't come off anymore
So here we go again, digging the knife in
Who will be next? Who will be our next guest?
I hate that god damn cellar, I wish I never went there
It always was and will be, I cannot make it go away
Come along, come along, meet
My demon, demon, my demon, demon
The poison deep within, I can't let him out again
The dark stains on the floor, they won't come off anymore
So here we go again, be my guest!!!
The lyrics of Mercyful Fate's "My Demon" evoke a sense of dread and horror as the singer describes their haunted house and the presence of their demon. The tone of the song is ominous, with an underlying sense of madness and instability. The first verse describes the house as being filled with hate and madness, and the singer suggests that the house was never theirs to begin with. The chorus reveals that the demon and the singer are both deep inside the darkness, indicating that they are one and the same.
The second verse continues with the theme of sickness and brokenness. The imagery of deadly kisses and broken mirrors suggests a sense of decay and decayed beauty. The chorus repeats, cementing the idea that the demon is not an external force, but a part of the singer. The final verse describes the singer's struggle to control their demon, with the suggestion that they have killed before and may do so again. The repeated refrain of "come along, come along, meet my demon" creates a sense of inevitability, as if the demon and the singer are bound together forever.
Overall, "My Demon" is a powerful and haunting song that uses vivid imagery and a sense of foreboding to create a sense of horror and unease in the listener.
