Demons
This Is Hell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Realities in my face, I'm not rolling the dice
Everyone's got a theory but I'm dealing in life
We'll collapse from the inside and we'll burn like Rome
Securities lost, the enemy's our own

Given up too much
Not this time
We've had enough!

Given up too much
Not this time
We've had enough!

Don't feed me your worthless lies
Down with the lies

Slaughter every shred of humanity
Demons can't kill what burns inside of me
All the lines I'm fed, none of it's true
You don't do for me, so why should I do for you?




All the lines I'm fed, none of it's true
You don't do for me, so why should I do for you?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of This Is Hell's Demons are about standing up against the lies, corruption, and injustices of society that can corrode the goodness within us. The opening lines, "Realities in my face, I'm not rolling the dice /Everyone's got a theory but I'm dealing in life," suggest that the singer is looking at the harsh realities of life objectively, rather than relying on speculative theories. As the song progresses, the lyrics become more fervent in rejecting manipulation and deceit. The lines "Slaughter every shred of humanity / Demons can't kill what burns inside of me" are particularly powerful. They suggest that even in the face of bleakness and despair, we need to hold onto our inner strength and goodness. By saying "you don't do for me, so why should I do for you," the singer rejects the idea that they must simply accept the status quo; they will only help those who have proven themselves worthy of such assistance.


Overall, the song is an anthem about not allowing oneself to be passive or defeated by the challenges of life. Rather, it urges listeners to stand up and fight for what is right, regardless of the cost. The music of Demons mirrors this message, featuring a driving tempo and abrasive guitar riffs that perfectly underscore the anger and determination in the lyrics.

this just shows that rise picks favorites. they could be good in the financial end if rise may have started this new era of music by signing on a few bands and focusing on them and then grow and grow so every band signed by rise was equally known
