about

For this song, I wrote the lyrics before the music: It came out rather quickly, but is a tricky one to play. I'm particularly happy with the middle section.

It's home recording, which I mixed on my headphones.
I also recommend listening with headphones

lyrics

- Demons -

Edgy Robert,
Did you fall or did you jump?
Doesn't matter anyway
You're too good for the elites, yet not middle of the road

Tender Nick,
Safe between your parents' walls
Breakfast tea with your guitar
You would rather rest in silence than keep trying to be heard

You're a teacher
You're a demon

Cheerful Brian,
While you sing your tunes to god
The teen-agers go away
Do you think Randy will come, with his warm and simple smile?

Starry Syd,
Just arrived from far away
And you left before we knew
Life is passing through your silence, life has slipped away from you

Stubborn Frank,
You keep going, no matter what
On your side you are alone
On your dying bed you know that nobody's going to care

You're a teacher
You're a demon
