Just recently got hooked on the song "Demons" by Imagine Dragons. While I don't completely agree with all the lyrics (They say it's what you make/I say it's up to fate) I can relate to quite a bit of it... Here's the song if you'd like to listen to it.
The part of the song that says "When your dreams all fail/And the ones we hail/Are the worst of all" makes me think of all the dreams I have that at times seem incredibly out of reach, as well as the friends I have that lately, I've felt, haven't been very close and almost seem to disregard me unless its convenient to them.
I want to hide the truth/I want to shelter you/But with the beast inside/There's nowhere we can hide - I have a horrible habit of doing this. I try to protect those I love from what I'm feeling by keeping it to myself, but as a result, it just builds up and becomes even worse.
So they dug your grave/And the masquerade/Will come calling out/At the mess you made - And what a mess we all make by trying to cover who we really are with masks. Is it better to be yourself, or who you think everyone would want you to be? To be real, or to just be a frail, paper mask?
I think just about all of us could relate to the chorus:
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Don't get too close
It's dark inside
It's where my demons hide
It's where my demons hide
Kind of goes along with my last post about covering up how we really feel. I know I have a tendency to push people away at times to keep them from seeing my "demons" and to protect them from the "darkness inside." Just wanted to share the song with you all :)
