Old Demon Known
Unveiling the Silent Shadows: Honky Fish's Old Demon Known
Lyrics
Lost in myself now no time to sit down
Feeling lost within myself, no time to rest
My oldie shadow silent anyhow
My lingering, familiar shadow remains silent regardless
Shivering at home can’t hide me let down
Experiencing a sense of unease at home, unable to conceal my disappointment
My oldie shadow keep silent for now
My enduring shadow chooses to remain silent for the moment
That’s why I sleep over it
This is why I try to escape from these thoughts through sleep
Tracing and clinging on me
Constantly tracing and clinging to me
And I say
Expressing
Old demon known old demon known
Referring to an old, familiar demon that is known
Old demon known
Reiteration of the presence of this known demon
And it’s wasting me so much
Indicating that dealing with this demon is consuming a significant part of the speaker's life
So much
Repetition of the intensity of the impact of the demon
Drowned by deception I am who I am
Feeling overwhelmed and submerged by deceit, embracing one's true self
My oldie shadow keeps waiting for now
The persistent shadow continues to wait for an opportune moment
Trying to see through me there’s light in the ground
Attempting to see beyond the surface, searching for illumination in the darkness
My oldie shadow show me where to stand
The enduring shadow guides the speaker to find a stable position
That’s why I sleep over it
Reiterating the attempt to escape through sleep
Tracing and clinging on me
Continued tracing and attachment to the speaker
And I say
Expressing
Old demon known old demon known
Repetition of the presence of the known demon
Old demon known
Reiterating the impact of the demon on the speaker's life
And it’s wasting me so much
Repetition of the intensity of the impact of the demon
So much
Reiterating the profound effect of the demon on the speaker's existence
