Calling All Demons
Unveiling the Dark Mirror of Self: Demons and Saints in 'Calling All Demons'
Lyrics
“Mass destruction is what awaits in hell for the best version of you”
Anticipation of severe consequences awaits the best version of oneself in hell.
I tell myself
Self-reflection or inner dialogue begins.
A worthless picture worth a thousand words
A visually insignificant image holds significant meaning.
Your face speaks volumes of why you’re insecure
Facial expressions reveal insecurities.
The contradiction of attention whores
Contradictory behavior of those seeking attention.
Plead for value and let them do the work
Pleading for validation while others do the work.
They beg for mercy and time alone
Begging for both mercy and solitude.
Another plot to make my time their own
Others scheming to occupy the speaker's time.
Won’t you fake it
Encouraging someone to pretend.
Maybe I’ll believe it, maybe you can see it
Expressing doubt about believing the pretense.
Maybe you can fool me
Open to being deceived.
Maybe I’m wrong, therapy is long gone
Reflecting on the potential error, suggesting therapy is no longer effective.
They listen to the words but they don’t know what they mean
People hear words but misunderstand their meanings.
Celebrating my favorite loss
Celebrating a favored defeat or setback.
Your pointless rambling, the songs you wish you thought of
Dismissing someone's meaningless talk and unoriginal songs.
The ink in my skin, my failure to live
Tattoos symbolizing personal failures.
Your washed up dreams of fame and love begin
Describing someone's faded dreams of fame and love.
Won’t you fake it
Encouraging insincerity.
Maybe I’ll believe it, maybe you can see it
Expressing potential belief in the insincere act.
Maybe you can fool me
Remaining open to deception.
Maybe I’m wrong, therapy is long gone
Reiterating the ineffectiveness of therapy.
They listen to the words but they don’t know what they mean
Reinforcing the idea that people misunderstand spoken words.
(La la)
Non-verbal expression (La la).
(La la la la)
Extended non-verbal expression (La la la la).
Won’t you fake it
Encouraging insincerity (repeated).
Maybe I’ll believe it, maybe you can see it
Expressing potential belief in the insincere act (repeated).
Maybe you can fool me
Remaining open to deception (repeated).
Maybe I’m wrong, therapy is long gone
Reiterating the ineffectiveness of therapy (repeated).
They listen to the words but they don’t know what they mean
Reinforcing the idea that people misunderstand spoken words (repeated).
Calling all demons, calling all saints
A call for both demons and saints, suggesting a universal plea for help or understanding.
Calling all demons, calling all saints
Repetition of the plea for both demons and saints.
Calling all demons, calling all saints
Continued repetition of the plea for both demons and saints.
Calling all demons, calling all saints
Final repetition of the plea for both demons and saints.
