Me & My Demons

OMIDO's song 'Me & My Demons' delves into the intimate and often tumultuous relationship between an individual and their inner struggles. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone who has become so accustomed to their personal demons that they consider them close companions. The opening lines, 'I got my ticket for the long way 'round / And I was high before I left my bed,' suggest a journey marked by escapism and self-medication, hinting at the use of substances to cope with emotional pain.

The chorus, 'Yeah me and my demons, we're best bros / Everybody knows, we always stay close,' underscores the idea of an inseparable bond with one's darker side. This relationship is portrayed almost as a friendship, albeit a toxic one, where the demons are ever-present and familiar. The repetition of this line emphasizes the inescapability and constancy of these inner battles. The use of the term 'best bros' adds a layer of irony, highlighting the paradox of finding comfort in something that is ultimately harmful.

The verse 'They won't remember me / Just another sad soul with this life I lead' speaks to a sense of insignificance and despair. The narrator feels like just another faceless individual lost in their struggles, unable to relate to the happiness of others. This sentiment is further reinforced by the line 'Well, I guess it's just my role in society,' suggesting a resignation to this state of being. OMIDO's raw and candid lyrics offer a poignant exploration of mental health, addiction, and the often-overlooked battles that many face daily.
