Am I Demon?

Boy, I wish other people would comment on this song. I'm curious to see what people think.

I could be wrong, but I think this is a good guess: I think the song could be as simple as him feeling like no matter what he does or how good a person he tries to be he always hurts the people around him. His insecurities make him feel like people are judging him and so he hates them for it. He wants to be around his friends because he doesn't want to be alone, but he always ends up feeling like poison to them, like an outsider. 'Damned if you do, Damned if you don't."

Here's another possibility: I think the song is about him looking at the world around him and seeing people controlled mostly by the animal side of themselves. Our wars, greed and hate, all stem from that. So, no matter how hard people try, no one defeats that part of themselves. You can hope for humanity but nothing changes.

'Hordes of faces, empty eyes I see nothing new Seasoned schemes of slimy curs Offer up their flu'

I think he feels helpless because, even though he sees the way the world is and hates the world for being that way, he knows that he is guilty of the same crimes. So no matter what words of wisdom he has that could help the world, they always come out in judgement and anger and hinder him.

'Faces of a million hells rage inside these veins Pounding out deserved pain to anyone in need'

In the end he feels like humanity is evil as a species and gives up.

'Am I demon? I need to know Am I demon? You need to know Am I demon? You need to know

I am, I am, I am'

Chaosmagick, this is actually a Danzig cover. A good one, too.
