Misfits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am the beast
Demonomania, Demonomania, Demonomania
My father was a wolf
Demonomania, Demonomania, Demonomania
My mother was a whore
Reality of the wolf
It's in the blood
I want to be the fucking savior
Humans are weak
What else you fucking do
Humans are weak
I want your blood
Demonomania, Demonomania, Demonomania
My father was a wolf
Demonomania, Demonomania, Demonomania
My mother was a whore
Demonomania, Demonomania, Demonomania
My mother was a whore
Demonomania, Demonomania, Demonomania
My father was a wolf
The lyrics to "Demonomania" by Misfits delve into themes of self-identity, animalistic urges, and a lack of empathy towards humanity. The singer refers to themselves as a beast and expresses a desire to be a savior, suggesting a god complex. They also acknowledge their wolf and whore lineage, hinting at a troubled and violent origin.
The repetition of "Demonomania" throughout the lyrics gives the impression that the singer is struggling with their inner demons and may be succumbing to them. The line "Humans are weak, I want your blood" further reinforces this idea, implying that the singer views themselves as superior to humans and desires to harm them. The song as a whole paints a dark and unsettling picture of a person consumed by their inner darkness and animalistic tendencies.
