Demons
Your Absent Friend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Force to shut down all the ugly
I wish the errors would be gone
Not to pick up where I left of
Not to mention what I've done

I want you to mute the silence
Crawl out of my skin
Rewind to a place of comfort
Like a movie scene
You're touch becomes invasion
My thoughts are like a flood

Restart the running system
For a a brand new start
Force to shut down all the ugly
I wish the errors would be gone

Repulsed by my emotions
I try to disappear
The cover like a weapon
I hold on to for the fight
You're touch becomes invasion
My senses are going blind

Force to shut down all the demons
I wish the errors would be gone




Not to pick up all the pieces
Not to mention what I've lost

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Demons" by Your Absent Friend delve into the struggles of battling inner demons and trying to erase mistakes and errors from the past. The singer is yearning for a fresh start and to erase the ugly parts of themselves that they are ashamed of. They express a desire for comfort, for a place they can restart without the weight of their past sins or emotions. The presence of another person - hinted at by the phrases "your touch becomes invasion" and "the cover like a weapon I hold onto for the fight" - seems to represent both a source of comfort and a reminder of the past that the singer is trying to escape from. In the end, the singer dreams of shutting down "all the demons" that plague them and being able to move on without constantly picking up the pieces of their past.

That is why i walk alone,
I have my parents,
My woman,
My inner circle of friends,
But i still walk alone,
I eat alone,
I shop alone,
I workout alone,
I spent my time alone at work,
I go to university and i spent my time alone,
And i study alone,
Everything alone, and i love it,
Jesus though, is always with me wherever i go.
I love it.✝️❤🙏

Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

John 8:12 “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
