About This Track

'DEMONS' by AViVA is a 2021 pop song from the album 'VOLUME II'. The lyrics sketch a restless, escalating romance of pursuit and escape, with the narrator racing through nights, street-running, and daydreaming about stardom in someone’s gaze, even as she resolves to leave the chasing behind. There is a playful hunger in the writing, a desire to rise and be noticed, summed up in the line, “Boys are chasing my mind”.

"DEMONS" is a track by AViVA, released 28th October 2021. The track is 3:26 long. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about AViVA.

Lyrics

DEMONS

Driving me round and round again
Boys are chasing my mind, I'll leave them behind
Drawing me higher, nights my friend
Stars in your eyes shining up from my thighs

Running around the streets without our shoes on
Hanging every night, to learn a new song
Trying to be the cutest girl on your arm
Your arm

Dancing on the beach hours before dawn
Trying to sneak home before we got caught
Everything was real before we'd begun
Begun

I never thought you'd be thе one to open up my mind
As you stood thеre by her side
Suffocating in her lies

Hey!
What is it you're tryna say?
Sick of all the games you play
Only when the demons
Ca-all

Hey!
Make me wanna run away
Why is it you never stay?
Only when the demons
Ca-all

With your hands in my hair you pull me in
Tearing me up inside, body movement my guide
Smoke on your lips pollutes my fear
Night after night between sheets we collide

Driving round the streets without our lights on
Hanging every night, to smoke and to talk
Trying to be the meanest girl in your car
Your car

Lying on the field before we walked home
Trying not to break the silence you brought
Tryna hear the truth between the alarm
Alarm

I never thought you'd be the one to open up my mind
As you stood there by her side
Suffocating in her lies

Hey!
What is it you're tryna say?
Sick of all the games you play
Only when the demons
Ca-all

Hey!
Make me wanna run away
Why is it you never stay?
Only when the demons
Ca-all

I never thought you'd be the one to open up my mind
As you stood there by her side
Suffocating in her lies
I never thought you'd be the one to open up my mind
As you stood there by her side
Suffocating in her lies

Blazing trails from streets we run (hey!)
Blacked out dreams of the songs we sung
Left alone when the demons come
They come (ca-all)
Blazing trails from streets we run (hey!)
Blacked out dreams of the songs we sung
Left alone when the demons come
They won (ca-all)

Blazing trails from streets we run (hey!)
Blacked out dreams of the songs we sung (what is it you're tryna say?)
Left alone when the demons come (sick of all the games you play)
They come (only when the demons)
Ca-all

Blazing trails from streets we run (hey!)
Blacked out dreams of the songs we sung (make me wanna run away)
Left alone when the demons come (why is it you never stay?)
They won (only when the demons)
Ca-all
