Music Speaks To Me - Part 2

Just a short while after "Brave" spoke to me, "Deamons" by Imagine Dragons came on the radio. Imagine Dragons is one of my all time favorite bands and I've always liked this song, but this time it was like it was being sung just for me. I have highlighted the words that jumped out at me and screamed "THIS IS WHAT ADDICTION FEELS LIKE!". It was like this is the demon we are battling and a little bit of what B sometimes feels like (as well as what I felt like when I have been in the thick of my compulsive eating addiction). 


Demons by 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 wanna hide the truth
I wanna 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

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 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 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 don't know what it was about Saturday but I was comforted greatly by music, not religious music, not even spiritual music. Just regular everyday mainstream music. It was awesome!
