Demons Lyrics

Cover art for Demons lyrics by Battle

I can`t believe nobody has yet commented on this absolutely gorgeous song.

To me this song is about living life to your hearts content, being passionate about the things you like, even if they are dull ("spent a lifetime in a room") or silly ("thrown stones at passing cars"). You feel "lonely" and "pointless" when the people around you fail to understand. You see the lack of desire to live in everyone around you ("stick a fork into your side, just to make sure youre alive").

You try to get through to them ("make my hand a ghost to put it in your head"), but realising your efforts are useless, as the conclusion of the song is that they will never open their eyes and see how shallow they are ("why cant you say" -> "youll never say" -> "just say").

The sense of despair in this song is something like "If you can`t beat them, join them.". On some level, you want to be just like everyone else, not having to fight with your "demons" every single day: "Yes, I need some common sense (I really wasn't born with it), Shoot me in the face and make these demons dissipate."

I absolutely adore this song as I can definitely relate. Ive spent quite a chunk of my life feeling exactly like that. Seeing as its in the past, the song has lost a tiny bit of its magic, but I still love it to pieces. If you haven`t yet downloaded it, take my advice: do it.

PS: If anyone has any info on the band Battle (websites, release dates etc.) Id be forever grateful if youd share. Thanks. :)
