Demons Lyrics

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...

   I love reading other people's comments about meaning of the lyrics :)
   To me, this song is just brilliant. Love the lyrics, love the band. I kind of understand this song - probably I'm wrong, but I understand it as a guy, not knowing how to tell a girl, that he stopped loving her. He loves her in a way, but not in the "right" way, you know, not like he did before.
   
   I especially love this part: 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.
   
   PS: Sorry for my grammer mistakes, my first language is not English :)

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   'cards all fold'
   'saints we are all made of gold'
   'we still are made of greed'
   'lights fade out, all the sinners crawl'
   'this is all for you'
   'they say it's what you make, I say it's up to fate'
   
   This demon is a gambling problem, folks.

   This song is about the flaws in all of us that cant be broken, And its telling his lover that he doesn't want to get her mixed up in his trubles

   I think that it's accepting the fact that there's no real "true love" because everyone has their demons, but loving them anyway. And you don't need to talk about it- you both know. Just look a little closer- that'll explain everything. And there's "no where you can hide" because it's inevitable. "And no matter what you breed" whether that kid be poor, a jock, a celebrity, etc. it will never truly be perfect.

   its about a person who loves another and/or feels for them a lot but dosent want to hurt them with their problems or troubles and wants that person to be safe even if it means they cant have them.
