Demons of Insanity
Metalium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Many ways lead to an aim
The matter is, what's got to be
Your mind can't play along their rules
You got an own opinion
Why don't you scream out loud
No longer wanna be their fools
Chor: Spirit of the time
Manipulated Medias
Look they are all around
But we aint puppets they will see
Bridge 1:
Can't you feel it
It's the time to break
Out of this cage
Chorus:
Demons rising
Paralyzing
Trying to get a hold of you
Choir: Demons of Insanity
Bear your fears and use your force
To escape of this human zoo
Don't get sacrificed, hunt them down, down, down, down
Vers 2:
Whatever they will try to break you
Don't let them get you down
Making you stronger deep inside
Bridge:
Can't you feel it
It's the time to break
Out of this cage
Chorus:
Demons rising
Paralyzing
Trying to get hold of you
Choir: Demons of Insanity
Bear your fears and use your force
To escape of this human zoo
Don't get sacrificed, hunt them down
(Solo)
(Chorus)

Many ways lead to an aim
There are multiple paths to achieving a goal

We don't want to be manipulated by them
Manipulated Medias
The media is being controlled
Look they are all around
There are multiple forms of manipulated media everywhere
But we aint puppets they will see
We will not allow them to control us like puppets
Can't you feel it
Do you not sense it?
It's the time to break
It is time to break free
Out of this cage
Out of the confines of societal norms
Demons rising
Negative thoughts and feelings are increasing
Paralyzing
Causing restriction and fear
Trying to get a hold of you
Attempting to take control of your mind
Bear your fears and use your force
Confront and overcome your fears with your own power
To escape of this human zoo
Find a way to break free from societal constraints
Don't get sacrificed, hunt them down, down, down, down
Don't become a victim, fight back against negative influences
Whatever they will try to break you
No matter what they do to try and weaken you
Don't let them get you down
Do not allow them to bring you down emotionally
Making you stronger deep inside
The struggles will make you emotionally stronger
