| Avenged Sevenfold – Demons Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Just hearing this song for the first time it really caught me. I would say it was about someone's own personal demons, the worst parts of themselves. The pieces of themselves they don't like but personally he seems to think he'll never be able to change them. There are mistakes he has made and parts of himself he hates and he feels like he's always being punished for them. But he also feels like it is rightly deserved. He tried to ignore, hide, escape them but they resurface and he finds out he never had changed for the better like he thought. He is also upset someone else has recognized these parts of himself and is warning them about him and his flaws. Pretty straightforward I guess but I think very easy to relate to. | |

It's obvious but not literal...the song is about someone who wasnt a great person in their life and dies before they can make up for it or accomplish everything they want to. Even though they're in heaven and everythings perfect and they are with the one they love they know they need to go back and fix some things. They had somethings they had better plans for themselves and just weren't ready to go yet. They want the one they love to know its not anything to do with them and they hope to be able to come back to them someday when its their time. I don't think its about drug abuse or an overdose because the line "I'm choking on this ecstasy" is more metaphorical. I think they mean ecstasy the feeling not the drug. Loved this song but the video was a little disappointing, in my opinion it could have been really epic and had some sort of What Dreams May Come kind of feel. However Gates steals the whole thing with that solo. |
