Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood's run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There's nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

At the curtain's call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you've made

Don't wanna let you down
But I am hellbound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside




It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide

Overall Meaning

"Demons" by Imagine Dragons is a song about hiding and suppressing one's darkest thoughts and emotions. The lyrics describe the feelings of an individual who is struggling with their inner demons while trying to maintain a facade of normalcy. When the day is bleak and everything goes wrong, and when our dreams and aspirations fail us and we begin to doubt ourselves, our true nature, which is greedy and selfish, tends to come out. This is our kingdom of greed.


The chorus of the song goes, "When you feel my heat, look into my eyes, it's where my demons hide." These lines suggest that the singer is afraid of revealing their true self to those around them. If someone gets too close to them, they might see the darkness lurking inside—their demons. The singer admits that he does not want to hide the truth, but he is hellbound and can't change who he is. He needs someone to help him overcome and get rid of his demons.


Overall, "Demons" is a song that portrays the complex emotions that arise when we try to keep our inner demons under control. We want to be good and do good, but we need help to overcome our darkness.


Line by Line Meaning

When the days are cold
When life gets tough


And the cards all fold
And things aren't going our way


And the saints we see
And the people we look up to


Are all made of gold
Are not really what they seem


When your dreams all fail
When everything we hope for falls apart


And the ones we hail
And the people we praise


Are the worst of all
Are often the most flawed


And the blood's run stale
And everything feels dead inside


I wanna hide the truth
I want to protect you from the reality


I wanna shelter you
I want to keep you safe


But with the beast inside
But with my own inner demons


There's nowhere we can hide
There's nowhere to escape


No matter what we breed
No matter what kind of person we are


We still are made of greed
We are all driven by selfishness


This is my kingdom come
This is the end of the line for me


When you feel my heat
When you feel my intensity


Look into my eyes
See the real me


It's where my demons hide
My weaknesses are hidden within me


Don't get too close
Don't get too involved


It's dark inside
There are things in my mind you don't want to see


At the curtain's call
At the end of the show


It's the last of all
It's the final curtain


When the lights fade out
When everything falls apart


All the sinners crawl
Everyone is helpless


So they dug your grave
So they gave up on you


And the masquerade
And the lies we tell ourselves


Will come calling out
Will be exposed


At the mess you've made
At the mess we've made


Don't wanna let you down
I don't want to disappoint you


But I am hellbound
But I am trapped within my own sins


Though this is all for you
Even though everything I do is for you


Don't wanna hide the truth
I don't want to lie to you


They say it's what you make
They say you have control over your own life


I say it's up to fate
I say it's out of our hands


It's woven in my soul
It's a part of me


I need to let you go
I need to move on


Your eyes, they shine so bright
You have a spark in you that inspires me


I wanna save that light
I want to protect you and your innocent soul


I can't escape this now
I am trapped in my own darkness


Unless you show me how
Unless you can show me a way out

GUYS PRAY FOR SAM AND COLBY THEY BEEN DECEIVED BY DEMONS AND ARE IN DANGER THEY ARE YOUTUBERS❤


God wouldnt allow souls to be trapped on earth, its umbilical and never happened all souls belong to God, so you cant sell your soul to the devil❤

And not everyone is a child of God jesus said it himself youre of your father the devil and your desires are to do his will true children of God are the ones who have been born again spiritually and repented from sin❤

So many people say they love God, but most of them never repented from sin and have a personal relationship with him, and love isnt just a feeling love is doing❤


Familiar spirits are demons


well if I'm wrong I wasted nothing because I got peace and joy from him, but if you're wrong you wasted your entire life!! ❤️🎉 And demons love when people believe that lie that God doesn't exist and they love it when people don't know they are there ❤I copy n paste this everywhere❤


And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from him❤



Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤


Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.


People: okay please stay this is your place❤

Demon: okay
People: *leaves*

Demon: *Goes with them anyway*


Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah.


Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤



Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤



Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤

Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤

God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤


To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

Okay now pray this to be saved and to get to heaven pray out loud


Jesus I confess that you are my lord and savior
I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead I ask to receive your holy spirit and I repent of my sins with your help❤ by faith in your word I receive salvation now
Thank you for saving me! I am now reborn a christian a child of almighty God I am saved thank you Jesus! Be genuine when praying this

Watch videos on how to receive Gods holy spirit on YT

God creates Jesus redeems The holy spirit changes

Now our good deeds and works we think are good are like filthy rags in the eyes of God


Things to get rid of in your home


1sage
2dream catchers
3crystals
4crystal ball
5ouija board
6 tarot and angel cards
7religious statues
8demonic movies music or video games
9soul times items
10pornography



Now like a theif robbing a store, demons won't make it obvious they are there unless they have to.


Now know you can't save yourself Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life

You have insurance on your house if it ever caught on fire which rarely happens but when it comes to your soul, you play with it like you have forever to make your choice which you don't


150k+ people Die everyday and you never know when it may be you

God spent 9 months shaping and forming you before you were born but only 7 days on earth you're fearfully and wonderfully made beautiful in the eyes of God❤

Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already know❤


Your souls is so valuable both Satan and God want it but it's your choice who you will serve


You serve the devil when you
Lie
Hate
Blasphemy
Disobey
Lazy
Gossip
Gluttony
Wanting what others have cause what God has for you is for you he will never deliver your male to someone else's house
Hate
And unforgivness
And cussing murder and more

And once you die, you're locked with your choice of where you're spending eternity God doesn't care about you doing more good then bad cause he's not judging that God never said that's the way to heaven

So who's lying you or God? Be serious about this❤

God is holy and righteous God is love

So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear


The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gate❤

You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre going❤


Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN!

Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine! So the good news is you dont have to go to hell if you accept him as your lord and savior!

God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faith❤


Don't expect Gods best when you always give him your least don't reject him anymore let him come in and change your life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
