My Demons
Starset Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Mayday, mayday)
(The ship is slowly sinking)
(They think I'm crazy but they don't know the feeling)

They're all around me
Circling like vultures
They wanna break me and wash away my colors
(Wash away my colors)

Take me high and I'll sing
Oh, you make everything okay, okay, okay (okay, okay, okay)
We are one in the same
Oh, you take all of the pain away, away, away (away, away, away)
Save me if I become
My demons

I cannot stop this sickness taking over
It takes control and drags me into nowhere
I need your help, I can't fight this forever
I know you're watching
I can feel you out there

Take me high and I'll sing
Oh, you make everything okay, okay, okay (okay, okay, okay)
We are one in the same
Oh, you take all of the pain away, away, away (away, away, away)
Save me if I become
My demons

Take me over the walls below
Fly forever
Don't let me go
I need a savior to heal my pain
When I become my worst enemy
The enemy

Take me high and I'll sing
You make everything okay
We are one in the same
You take all of the pain away

Take me high and I'll sing
Oh, you make everything okay, okay, okay (okay, okay, okay)
We are one in the same
Oh, you take all of the pain away, away, away (away, away, away)
Save me if I become
My demons

Take me high and I'll sing
Oh, you make everything okay, okay, okay (okay, okay, okay)
We are one in the same
Oh, you take all of the pain away, away, away (away, away, away)




Save me if I become
My demons

Isaiah 55:11
King James Version
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Jesus saith unto him I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the Father but by me John 14:6

Psalm 46:10
Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the heathen. I will be exalted in the earth.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth upon him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

Matthew 16:24
King James Version
24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.



@prismatica_official

I first heard this song while listening to the local rock radio station in my hometown.

I was 11 at the time.

I am 19 at the time of writing this.

That very day is what sparked my love of the band, of space, of sci-fi, and even one of my favorite game series.

Never forgetting that day.

Spanish: Auxilio!Auxilio!
El barco se está hundiendo lentamente
Ellos piensan que estoy loco, pero no saben que se siente
Están todos rodeándome
Dando vueltas como buitres
Quieren romperme y quitarme mis colores
Quitarme mis colores

Llévame alto y voy a cantar
Oh tu haces que todo este bien (bien, bien)
Somos uno en el mismo
Oh tu quitas el dolor (lejos, lejos)
Sálvame si me convierto
Mis demonios

No puedo detener a esta enfermedad apoderándose
Toma el control y me arrastra hacia la nada
Necesito tu ayuda, no puedo luchar contra esto para siempre
Sé que estás viendo,
Puedo sentirte ahí afuera

Llévame alto y voy a cantar
Oh tu haces que todo este bien (bien, bien)
Somos uno en el mismo
Oh tu quitas el dolor (lejos, lejos)

Portuguese: Socorro! Socorro!
O navio está afundando lentamente
Eles acham que eu sou louca
Mas eles não sabem o sentimento
Eles estão todos em volta de mim
Circulando como abutres
Eles querem me quebrar e
Lavar as minhas cores
Lavar minhas cores

Leve-me alto e eu vou cantar
Oh você deixa tudo ok, ok, ok

Nós somos um só
Oh você leva toda a dor embora, embora, embora

Salve-me se eu me tornar

Eu posso sentir você lá fora

May all of you read this:

The one who can take us high so that we can sing songs of praise, the one who became one with us and takes away all of our pains. He who helps us againts our adversary, the demons who try to rule over our flesh.
The Savior we need who came and redeemed us is no other than JESUS CHRIST Himself.

This song was a song connected to GOD and crying out to HIM, for He was in darkness and all of the things seems blurry.


I am saying this from personal experience and from out of nowhere JESUS gave me life and sets me free from my sins and has healed ‭‭me, he sets me free from my opressors and sets me free from slavery of sin.Before it was a great fight for me. But this battle is not ours, it is the LORD's battle may we let HIM fight for us and guide us. In this spiritual battle where we fight not fleshly enemies but are spiritual enemies. May we Trust and Have Faith in Our LORD JESUS CHRIST who has conquered the enemy and saves us.
LORD help us all, who struggles from the snares and traps of the enemy, from the works and temptations of the demons deliver us O LORD, and guide us through. Set us free from our opressors, Liberate us O LORD from slavery. LORD JESUS You have conquered the world, we put our Faith and Trust in You. Deliver us Oh GOD and let THE HOLY SPIRIT Work in our lives to live a life that is pleasing and honorable to you.
Forgive us oh GOD our iniquities, sins and transgressions, help us to eee your Love and your Salvation. All of these we Pray in Mighty JESUS Name OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. AMEN
I encourage you to read the BIBLE brothers ans sisters.
Read Psalm 94 and 103. It speaks about our underlying condition. Ask for forgiveness by Praying Psalm 51. Put your Hope and Trust in GOD by praying psalm 91. Pray also Psalm 119 for it connects with our situations and great distress.
And to be prepared for the Battle wear GOD's Armor read Ephesians 6. And Always remember GOD is with you, he will never leave you nor forsake you and has called you by your name.

Accept JESUS as LORD and Savior and be delivered by HIM. Acknowledge your sins and struggles before HIM, Go to church and confess your struggles and pains, they can help you.
GOD has power over these demons and trampled over them. Trust that GOD will never leave your side, that HE is with you always.


This song connects to these Scriptural Passages

"Their all around me, circling like vultures"

Psalms‬ ‭118:11‭-‬12‬ ‭NIV‬‬[11] They surrounded me on every side, but in the name of the Lord I cut them down. [12] They swarmed around me like bees, but they were consumed as quickly as burning thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them down.
Mayday, mayday this ship is slowly sinking(life sinking and desolated)
The enemies that want to wash away our colors(our life and relationship with GOD)

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭94:16‭-‬19‬ ‭NIV‬‬
[16] Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers? [17] Unless the Lord had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death. [18] When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. [19] When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103:13‬ ‭NIV‬‬
[13] As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103:10‬ ‭NIV‬‬
[10] he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.

https://bible.com/bible/111/psa.103.10.NIV

May GOD Guide you every step of the way as you come close to HIM.
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28‭-‬30‬ ‭NIV‬‬
[28] “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
