有留言要求翻譯，我盡量。。。有些地方我根據歌詞稍稍改了下，可能並不是直接按照那個英文理解翻譯的。另外英文解釋有些地方用了第3人稱我用了第1人稱。

---------------------------------------------------------------------

以下轉自Imagine Dragons

"when the days are cold" - things are dark and depressing 在黑暗的時候

"the cards all fold" - everyone has given up 所有人都放棄了

"the saints we see are all made of gold" - there isn"t anyone truly good left 沒有真正的好人

"when your dreams all fail" - life is getting hard and things aren"t happening for people 生活變得越來越艱難所有的夢想都無法實現

"and the ones we hail are the worst of all" - the people who have the most influence are the people are are the worst influences (famous musicians, etc.) 我們敬仰的人恰恰是最糟糕的人 (比如有些公眾人物。。。）

"the bloods run stale" - nobody has passion anymore 所有人都失去了熱情

"I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you" - he wants to hide the terrible world from someone he loves 我不願讓你看到這些醜陋我想保護你

"but with the beast inside, there"s nowhere we can hide" - the things that make man fallen are inside of him, so he could cut her off completely from bad people and she would still have a beast inside her 但每人心裡都有惡魔，我們無法逃脫

"no matter what we breed, we still are made of greed" - same idea...man"s fallen traits are engrained in him, and you can"t make them go away 這句意思跟上面差不多。。。不管怎樣都無法逃脫

"this is my kingdom come" - this is my reality, i realize that now, and this is as good as it"s getting 這就是我的現實

"when you feel my heat look into my eyes, it"s where my demons hide" - I may seem like a better person on the outside, but in reality I"m just as bad as everyone else on the inside, I"ve got problems too 我也許外表像個好人但其實跟所有人一樣心裡也有個惡魔

"don"t get too close, it"s dark inside" - you"re too innocent for me 不要靠近我我內心黑暗（o.O 你是個純潔的好孩子我願用我的一生換你十年天真無邪。。。。？ )

-----------休息休息-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"when the curtain call is the last of all" - the show"s over, now you see who the people really are, but they"ve still got smiles on their faces 表演結束每個人卻還帶著虛假的微笑

"when the lights fade out all the sinners crawl" - but when your not looking anymore, the people are just humble sinners on their hands and knees just like everyone else 但當你不注意的時候他們就會露出真面目

"so they dug your grave" - everyone is just waiting for you to fall too, because they know you will 他們在等著看你的笑話已經給你挖好了墳墓

"and the masquerade" - like I said before, everyone is just a fake 所有人都是虛偽的

"will come calling out at the mess you made" - even though they"re just fakes, they are just looking for their chance to criticize you and pull you down, which s why they"ve dug your grave 他們會找准機會把你往下拖

"don"t wanna let you down, but I am hell-bound" - I really don"t want to hurt you, but even though I know you trust in my, I"m gonna have to burst your bubble cuz I"m as bad as everyone else

我不想讓你失望但我無能為力因為我也跟他們一樣

"don"t wanna hide the truth, know this is all for you" - he wanted to hide he truth earlier, but now he knows he can"t keep deluding her, she needs to know who he really is, who people all really are, and it may hurt her but it"s all for her in the end 我不想再隱瞞了你應該知道這一切（我就是個壞人啊喵！）這都是為了你

"they say it"s what you make, I say it"s up to fate" - some people say that what you do and how hard you work determines the outcome of life our a relationship, but he thinks it"t just gonna happen like it happens and there"s nothing he can do to change it: people will always have demons inside them 別人說你努力就會有好結果什麼的blah blah 但我覺得這些都是天意每人心裡都有惡魔

"it"s woven in my soul" - his demons are a part of him, he"s never going to shake them （惡魔）與我靈魂交織無法分離

"I need to let you go" - she"s innocent, and he doesn"t want to ruin that and since he"s stuck with his demons forever, he needs to separate himself from her 我必須放開你（因為你太純了啊喵！）

"your eyes they shine so bright, I want to save that light" - again, he wants to preserve her innocence 又來我願用我的一生換你十年天真無邪。。。。。。

"I can"t escape this now" - again, he thinks he"s stuck with his demons forever 我無法逃離我心中的惡魔

"unless you show me how" - here"s the note of hope in this song. He thinks he"s pretty much stuck like he is forever, but whoever he is talking to is so innocent and "her eyes shine so bright" that he thinks just maybe possibly she might be able to show him the way out 但也許你可以拯救我（整首歌都是相當絕望的但最後一句給了希望)

去看demons的mv吧～

很有無間道三部曲中劉德華扮演的那個角色內心獨白的意思。

「給我一個機會。」

「怎麼給你機會？」

「我以前沒的選擇，現在我只想做個好人。」
