Demons, by Imagine Dragons

For my next song, I want to take it back to some personal stuff. The next song is Demons, by Imagine Dragons. Why it’s personal to me is for many reasons. The first one is because it’s the song that is for the book I’m writing with my close friends. We’ve started this book a year ago, and it’s grown and grown, becoming a big part of our lives.   I’ve just grown attached to this song, I guess.

The next reason why it’s personal to me is because of the lyrics. I looked up some meanings, and there are many, but one struck me. I found that a lot of people relate this to their darkness inside them. The lyrics depict that maybe you’ve been hurt in the past, or maybe you’ve been thinking bad things. It talks about how the monster inside of you wants to be helped, but you’re afraid to burden yourself onto people, or you just are afraid to talk about it.

Don’t get too close

It’s dark inside

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

I like to think that it could also have to do with love. Maybe you love someone so much, but you’re afraid to be with them because you don’t want to be hurt, or maybe you don’t want to be hurt. So, you let them go.

Don't wanna let you down

But I am hell bound

Though this is all for you

Don't wanna hide the truth

Anyway, you can interpret this song in so many ways. Or maybe, you don’t even have to. The music and song itself is a beautiful song, and it can give you chills from the first time you listen to it.
