Favorite Song

I like lots of songs but for the sake of this assignment, I will use "Demons" by Imagine Dragons.
Here is the link to YouTube:

Anyways, this song is centered on the singer's character which may or may not be the Dan Reynolds himself or a different character altogether. As the title suggests, the song talks about the various view points that he takes on subjects such as fate and responsibility through the lens of someone who has sinned. He talks about wanting to conceal what he has done from the person that he is addressing. He then goes on to talk about 'the beast inside' and how he doesn't want it to corrupt the other person who is implied to be pure. He discusses greed, sinners and hell which goes along with the obvious references to Christianity. He implies that Hell is his 'kingdom come' that also goes along with the implication that he is a sinner.

So that was horrible and I'm going to stop before I ruin the song for myself.
