One of the things I love about listening to new music is it causes my creative juices to start flowing... especially in relation to my stories.
The moment Track 4 started playing, I could feel it was going to be good. When the beginning of the chorus started, one of my characters poked his head out and said, "Hey! This is my song!!!" My listening immediately changed as I realized the words were describing feelings he has.
"I want to hide the truth. I want to shelter you. But the beast inside, there's nowhere we can hide."
This character is my beloved Zak from Destroyer Series. All my characters are near and dear to my heart, but Zak and Red hold very special places in my heart as Red has been with me for years, and Zak's personality is simply contagious to me. So, without further ado, here is the amazing song that has been added to my Destroyer Series Playlist. I especially loved the bridge verse! It's funny, the art booklet that came with the CD has the lyrics to the song, but for some reason the bridge verse wasn't printed (typo!). But it's my favorite verse in the entire song!! Anyway, enjoy!!
"Demons"
Imagine Dragons
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 want to hide the truth
I want to shelter you
But with the beast inside
There'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
When the curtain's call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And your masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don't want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't want to 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 want to save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me 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
I also just realized that this song is PERFECT for Damon of Vampire Diaries. If I was still editing videos, I would make one just for him. <3
Melissa! You got me hooked on Imagine Dragons too! Demons is also my favorite song, after listening to it with you while driving through the cemetery... Lol good times:)
