🎵When the days are cold
🎵And the cards all fold
🎵And the saints we see
🎵Are all made of gold
🎵When your dreams all fail
🎵And the ones we hail
🎵Are the worst of all
🎵And the blood's run stale
🎵I wanna hide the truth
🎵I wanna shelter you
🎵But with the beast inside
🎵Threre's nowhere we can hide
🎵No matter what we breed
🎵We still are made of greed
🎵This is my kingdom come
🎵This is my kingdom come
🎵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
🎵At the curtain's call
🎵It's the last of all
🎵When the lights fade out
🎵All the sinners crawl
🎵So they dug your grave
🎵And the masquerade
🎵Will come calling out
🎵At the mess you've made
🎵Don't wanna let you down
🎵But I am hell bound
🎵Though this is all for you
🎵Don't wanna hide the truth
🎵No matter what we breed
🎵We still are made of greed
🎵This is my kingdom come
🎵This is my kingdom come
🎵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
🎵They say it's what you make
🎵I say it's up to fate
🎵It's woven in my soul
🎵I need to let you go
🎵Your eyes they shine so bright
🎵I wanna save that that light
🎵I can't escape this now
🎵Unless I show you how
🎵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
Imagine Dragons
Demons
According to the charts, Demons reached number one on Billboard Pop Songs and number six on Billboard Hot 100 although Radioactive broke chart records by staying at #1 on the Hot Rock Songs Chart for 23 weeks! I am sure that people wondered what to expect out of the music video after seeing battling puppets in Radioactive and a dark post apocalyptic world in It's Time.
The demons video artfully mixes together three distinct concepts. The first is live concert footage with most of the shots of the band being lit by a somber dark blue light. The crowd reaction shots hint at the craziness of a live show by Imagine Dragons. The second theme is the firebreathers dealing with their personal demons in real life and the video cutting back to them in the audience. I left those images out because they are very sad in nature. Finally, the video ends with a beautiful dedication to Tyler Robinson. Tyler lost his battle with cancer in 2013 when he was only 17 years old. His memory lives on Imagine Dragons' Tyler Robinson Foundation.
The lyrics seem to be directed toward a significant other as a personal message about a difficult past. The vocals on the track are equally as powerful as the dark subject.
When I saw the Smoke and Mirrors concert live, the show opened with Shots. The audience went crazy. But that was nothing compared to when Imagine Dragons sang songs from Night Visions. When they sang Demons and It's Time the energy level in the arena shot up a hundred times over. It was almost impossible to hear Dan among the thousands of people singing in the crowd. They sounded really good too considering that the sing along was not rehearsed! Experiencing that is something I think no video could actually capture. It was kind of a life changing moment.
It will be very interesting to see what role the firebreathers play in next week's movie?
In honor of Smoke and Mirrors The Movie I voted for Smoke and Mirrors for song of the week. Did you cast your vote?
