As it's a heavily lyric driven vid I have included them here:
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 wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
At the curtain’s call
It's the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
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
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Special thanks to
el1ie for the fantastic notes and encouragement. It's been a while since I've made a character vid so it was great to be able to bounce some ideas around with her. Thanks bb! And thanks so
secretlytodream for helping me with some audio. <33
Notes:
I was torn between making this simply a recap of Dean's MoC and demon story line or adding a comment. Of course, being me, I found myself wanting to go a little deeper and so there are a few elements in this vid where I've tried to tie in Dean's inner demons as well as his literal demon-ness.
Jensen has said that the demon!Dean story started in the beginning of S9, when Dean made the decision to save Sam by way of angel possession. I found this really interesting and so decided to start the vid at that point. During S9 I seemed to be primarily concerned about what Sam was going through (mainly because the Show didn't show it) and didn't consider the true depths of Dean was going through. Making this vid has helped me understand that better.
The driving focus for me was the line "It's woven in my soul, I need to let you go". The issue of what each are prepared to do to keep the other alive is fascinating to me. I've tried not to judge that (because I think we each come at that argument from different perspectives and experiences), but rather lay it out in order to see that Dean struggles with the choices he makes - it's at least one of his inner demons.
Aaaannyway. If you watch it and have any questions please feel free to ask. :)
