Demons Run Faster Than Rainbows

Demons Run Faster Than Rainbows

Songwriter’s Story

Demons Run Faster Than Rainbows tells the story of a man trapped inside his own dark and restless mind. In the opening verse, he warns others not to wander too deep into his thoughts because “it’s a scary place” filled with pain, regret, and emotional scars. The angels and rainbows that once brought him hope stopped visiting long ago, leaving him convinced that his path may lead somewhere far below redemption. The song paints depression as an exhausting race between light and darkness, where every step forward is met with another low blow from the demons chasing him.

The chorus delivers the emotional centerpiece with the haunting line, “Demons run faster than rainbows.” It captures the feeling of battling inner darkness while hope struggles to keep pace. Yet the bridge shifts the mood toward resilience and redemption. The singer admits he’s not ready to surrender his heart, soul, or dream of heaven. Instead, he vows to change his life, heal the wounds inside, and soothe his spirit so he won’t be double-crossed by the darkness that’s followed him for so long.

DEMONS RUN FASTER THAN RAINBOWS

Don't get inside my head, it's a damn dark scary place

My soul runs on half empty, it's not a sunny safe space

Rainbows and angels quit visiting, my shoulder long ago

I'm sure they place bets, that I'll end up down below.
