Demons Sing Love Songs Lyrics

when i left my island i was wrong
met a phantom, memorized a song
nothing happens now that i belong

love's a demon, love's a demon, love's a demon, love
love's a demon, love's a demon, love's a demon, lo-o-ove

sometimes i think i'm stranded in hotels
hanging from the highest tree in town

love's a demon, love's a demon, love's a demon, love
love's a demon, love's a demon, love's a demon, lo-o-ove

I'm the monster standing by your heart (love's a demon...)
a lifesize figure ashamed to be alive (love's a demon...)

love's a demon, love's a demon, love's a demon, love
love's a demon, love's a demon, love's a demon, love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

left my island - went out of my normal space met a phantom - met an idea of something I thought I wanted outside of my normal space memorized a song - said the things I needed to say to keep this thing going sometimes i think i'm stranded in hotels hanging from the highest tree in town - something about being away from you on the road? I'm the monster standing by your heart (love's a demon...) - i'm being a fake to stay with you a lifesize figure ashamed to be alive (love's a demon...) - I'm acting like the person I thought I needed to be to get what I wanted, but I am unfullfilled, and should return to my island, where I not yearn for pleasures of the flesh
