Demon(s) Lyrics
Oh, you and me, we're the same
Asking for more than the numbing existence
Offered us all
What did they say? What did they do?
To make you crawl back in
Despite everything that you've been through
You're still right here
where I left you
We can lift up our hands to the sky
Find all of those strings that they're pulling
and keep from falling back
Into our old rhythmic poses
Turning us into machines
And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves in any way
we won't all look the same way down
And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves in any way
and we'll all take the same way out
And all these illusions dropped on a sea of believers
Crowding around as they hunt me down and throw me out
While all the rest of the others
Bang their heads in the dredges
[x2]
And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves
In any way we won't all look the same way down
And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves
In any way and we'll all take the same way out
So don't give up on me
We can be still pretend
This is all just a game
That'll work itself out in the end
Asking for more than the numbing existence
Offered us all
To make you crawl back in
Despite everything that you've been through
You're still right here
Find all of those strings that they're pulling
and keep from falling back
Into our old rhythmic poses
Turning us into machines
we won't all look the same way down
And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves in any way
and we'll all take the same way out
Crowding around as they hunt me down and throw me out
While all the rest of the others
Bang their heads in the dredges
And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves
In any way we won't all look the same way down
And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves
In any way and we'll all take the same way out
We can be still pretend
This is all just a game
That'll work itself out in the end

Please help me with this song! Some of the audio in the music video I just can't hear, so go ahead and post some more correct lyrics, perhaps whenever the album comes out with written lyrics.
this song is fucking sick
this is what ive got from Darkest hour's myspace. DEMON(S)
oh you and me we're the same asking for more than the numbing existance offered us all what did they say what did they do to make you crawl back in despite everything that you've been through you're still right here where i left you, we can lift up our hands to the sky find all of those strings that they're pullin and keep from falling back into our old rythmic poses turning us into machines, and one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves in any way we won't all look the same way down, and we'll all take the same way out, all these illusions dropped on a sea of believers crowding around as they hold me down and throw me out while all the rest of the others hang their heads in the dredges.. so don't give up on me we can still pretend this is all just a game that'll work itself out in the end
This songs badass. Good stuff off the new album.
i know it might seem obvious, but my best guess is it's about life, and how you shouldn't get caught up in the finer points of religion and just live your life, it'll work out in the end. There's no way you'll ever know what's beyond this existence, until you get there, so just let it go and enjoy your life.
the name of the song and the video also gave me the impression that it was about letting things go, the old man following the boy and finding his posessions in the field, and how it ends with him just wearing white, and smiling in a relieved way, he let go of his demons.
I absolutely love this song. For some reason the chorus it what I love most. Great song. =)
The lyrics in the end I think are "So don't give up me We can still pretend this all just a game that'll work itself out in the end."
I think I got the lyrics perfectly down
You and me were the same Asking for more more than her numbing existence Offered us all
What did they say? What did they do? To make you crawl back in Despite everything that you've been through, You're still right here
Where I left you
We can lift up our hands to the sky Find all those strings that they're pulling And keep from falling back Into our own reposes It's turning us into machines
And one of these days we'll no longer betray Ourselves in any way We will all look the same way down
And one of these days we'll no longer betray Ourselves in any way And we'll all take the same way out
And all these illusions Crush all who say you believe us Crowding around as they Hold, me, down and throw me out While all the rest of the others Bring all their heads in the trenches
And one of these days we'll no longer betray Ourselves in any way We will all look the same way down
And one of these days we'll no longer betray Ourselves in any way And we'll all take the same way out
[Solo]
And one of these days we'll no longer betray Ourselves in any way We will all look the same way down
And one of these days we'll no longer betray Ourselves in any way And we'll all take the same way out
So don't give up on me We can all just pretend it's a game That'll work itself out in the end
@VampiresLament I don't know man, I think I hear a few of the words differently, as to the point im sure they're different but im sure you got the most of it. The part where you say "And all these illusions Crush all who say you believe us Crowding around as they Hold, me, down and throw me out While all the rest of the others Bring all their heads in the trenches" is a bit iffy.

@VampiresLament oh look they posted the lyrics here. Oh, you and me, we're the same Asking for more than the numbing existence Offered us all What did they say? What did they do? To make you crawl back in Despite everything that you've been through You're still right where I left you We can lift up our hands to the sky Find all of those strings that they're pulling and keep from falling back Into our old rhythmic poses Turning us into machines

And one of these days we'll no longer betray ourselves In any way we...

Eh nevermind I forgot to change one line sorry
i think this song could be about peoples bad habits coming dack to haunt them...hence the song title.... and how they keep pulling you back into them. it sounds like the guy is trying to tell someone how much better they are then what they are doing...maybe an addiction or something else...and how they have to let go and be themselves.
That bad habit is religion.

We can lift up our hands to the sky Find all those strings that they're pulling And keep from falling back Into our own reposes It's turning us into machines.

I think this means that we should not keep relying on god as an explanation for everything.
