Demise
Wonder Brown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guess who's about to see their demise
Your time has come and your season's arise
Close enough
To feel every heartbeat on the rise
I'm the reason that you're leaving your life

Yeah
The pure definition of raw
Where beast's my middle name
And I'm looking for a reason to brawl
You wanna know
What it's like to not be the default
Then step in my shoes
And walk past the demons in awe
My grind focused on nothing
But making you pay
You wanna cross the line
Then be ready to lay
Down at any price
Cause best believe I'm doing the same
But while you're choosing rewind
I'm only pressing replay

Funny how he thought
He masked in his disguise
The fact I caught him
With a back to his surprise

I see you losing your cool
Now you crossed the line
No, you're never winning
No, you're never winning
No, I can't play by rules
Cause that would cost me mine
No, you're never winning
No, you're never winning

Time is running out
Hope is looking bare
Hearing footsteps
When nobody is there
When death is near
It's a sign of the times
That I'm right around the corner
With my eyes on the prize
Time is running out
Hope is looking bare
Hearing footsteps
When nobody is there
When death is near
It's a sign of the times
That I'll be the one
To cause your demise, alright?

Jack be nimble
And Jack be quick
But Jack couldn't hold a candle
To my knack for this
That's why he couldn't see
Me behind his back, to dip
Before I told him bon voyage
And I laughed at his demise

Funny how he thought
He masked in his disguise
The fact I caught him
With his back to his surprise
This masochist
With a passion fit for crime
Is after his
And after who's after mine

When it comes down to it
I hold my own
Until I got the cape and the crown
And the throne, it's on
Better wish you grow another pair
To grip to eventually know
That what I hold in these
Crosshairs will split your dome

The clock's ticking
And what lies in the fold
Is my mission
To let my grind be known
If I'm in it
Then when my time has come
You better be running
In hopes my time is done
You don't wanna be the one
To find what lies in wait
You don't wanna be the one
To find what lies in wait
You don't wanna be the one
To find what lies in wait
Cause by the time you see me




I've already devised your fate
Demise!!

Overall Meaning

The song Demise by Wonder Brown is a powerful message about taking control of one’s life and recognizing that time is running out for those who choose to live by their own rules without consequences.

The singer is confident in their abilities and is willing to take on any opponent, no matter how skilled or well disguised. The message is that time waits for no one, and one must be willing to take risks and fight for their place in the world if they want to survive in a world that often feels like it's against them.

For the life of me I was addicted to this song ever since I watched Zero's boss fight. Something about Demise just hit every tic mark in a song I wanted and it just hit different.
