Oliver Tree - Demons Lyrics






My initial value was found through birth
Spit out the womb, spun around the earth
Knew I had to crash, right?
I said that I knew that it was time to go
Face to face with demons from my last life
We find it hard putting things past us
Tend to start running so they couldn't catch us
Some can't escape the pain
Some endure
Some attack us in our dreams, make us suffer more

Sometimes you know
Sometimes you don't
Sometimes your thoughts provoke assumptions
Assume that you're wrong
It happens a lot
Sometimes it's easier pretending that you're
Somebody you're not
Someone needs to tell me when to stop sometimes
Sometimes I know
Sometimes I don't

Sometimes I look at who I am in the mirror and forget
Sometimes I return home to demons on my doorstep
Just let me be
I want you to leave
Sometimes I get so suffocated, I could barely breath
Drowning in a sea of demons, swallowed up by problems
Reaching for the surface, but I'm sinking to the bottom
And my only other option
Is the fact I know that
Sometimes it's easier pretending that you're somebody you're not
Someone needs to tell me when to stop sometimes
Sometimes I know
Sometimes I don't

    It’s called take out a loan act like you’re successful on a ad and watch the chumps roll in (this will be deleted by the guy)

  5. D.... I....

    I'm not entirely convinced whether this song has some meaning associated with a scooter accident.

    D.... I....

    Apparently written following an acid trip he had at burning man festival

    D.... I....

    Lucie Compton-Cashmore where did you hear that?

    Thank you, as a non-native speaker it gets a little hard to understand everything, especially when it comes to tree :P

    t.... n....

    the backwards speaking is him saying “somebody” over and over again and around the end he’s says “you can’t”

  8. B.... ....

    This is one of the few song's that made me cry, this song so raw and filled with emotion I know I should be happy he is changing creatively but I wish Oliver still made music like this.

    B.... ....

    Tearjerker-chilly gonazales. Stoop lights- Bedwetter.

  9. K.... G....

    The more music I find of tree (Oliver) and collaborating artists .. the more awestruck o truly am.. fucking love it

  10. C.... ....

    this is the same guy who had liquid shit for 3 months after eating a bathtub of cheetos right?

    C.... ....

    ClappedMidget, nope, the dude you are talking about is joji

  11. E.... D....

    I think he reversed some words

    E.... D....

    yep i think so too but i reversed them and it was still not english

  12. s.... n....

    I like that scratching Part. Could make a full Song.

  13. H.... T....

    “It’s easier pretending that you’re somebody you’re not, someone needs to tell me when to stop sometimes.
    Sometimes I know, sometimes I don’t..”. I wonder if he knows. No offense, I’m just saying. I hope he’s being himself, and hasn’t let his contract go to his head.

    H.... T....

    He’s- Tøxic that’s exactly what I think every time I listen to this. I just can’t help thinking, is he being himself at all or did he really just change himself into this character for his media.

    H.... T....

    @Vampire Killjoy He is 100 percent putting on a facade. Listening to this and then listening to his new stuff is depressing as hell. As long as he's getting clout and has the attention now that's all that matters right? *sigh* I actually hate how what he's doing now is what's gotten his name out there. Well, at least to 14 year olds.

    H.... T....

    Little whiney hipster bitches. Just wanted to give a quick reality check and let you know that's exactly it. Maybe add unsuccessful, but that about sums it up.

  14. a.... ....

    What is the girl saying when it’s playing her voice backwards? Anyone know?

    a.... ....

    its a bunch of different jumbled words

  15. J.... B....

    How am I only just finding out about his older stuff?

    J.... B....

    You're late bro
    My fav songs by him is Tully, this one, and karma police

    J.... B....

    Cause it got taken down and is technically no longer released. It's pretty sad :(

  16. D.... H....

    🔥 lit

  17. C.... B....

    🙃🔫🔫🔫😵😵😵

  18. j.... a....

    I was the 911th thumbs-up.
    Coincidence?

    j.... a....

    I think not!

  19. E.... G....

    Where can I find this for download/listen? Now that it's off of spotify idk where to look

    E.... G....

    It’s on SoundCloud

  20. C.... K....

    How tf can I get this into my iTunes library? I need to own it 😫

    C.... K....

    Download this video using a converter in to an mp3, add it to your iTunes.

    C.... K....

    If you dig enough you can still purchase this on his old label R&S. I was still able to purchase a vinyl that came with a download of the mp3’s too

  21. S.... ....

    He's just in a completely different mood and look now and when you get big people will want to hear ALL of his stuff and he's probably trying to focus more on newer content and his updated self.. just my thought! But I dig all his music old and newer, it's different and certainly not what you'd expect coming from Oliver Tree but he kills it!!🤟👌

    S.... ....

    He's erasing everything that was before he had his bowl cut. He wants to forget those dark days.

    S.... ....

    @Gary TheSnail He wants to forget how good his music used to be you mean. A lot of his old music is uplifting too dude. He was better pre Oliver Tree bowl cut era. His music felt far more real and was way more unique. He's just another silly gimmick now in order to gain popularity. His new music just doesn't do anything for me either like his old stuff. R.I.P Tree.

    S.... ....

    @ilovethemusicman It was good then and is good now. Yeah, he has fun songs like All That and Welcome to LA. But he still has meaningful ones. Listen to his newest one, Hurt! It's really damn good, and really emotional. The persona is just that. A persona. His music is still him, though. Besides, if he is happy doing this, then let him do it! He's a great dude.

    S.... ....

    @Gary TheSnail I do like his new music, and I've already heard hurt a few times. He literally says at the start of hurt ''I sold my soul, I'm waiting for my pay in full'' so maybe he is miserable now pretending to be this silly character?

    S.... ....

    He had to delete because when he signed with the new record label the old one didn't let him get the money from his old music ( at least that's what I heard

  22. v.... q....

    oliver tree?

  23. T.... ....

    Every day it goes a bit further. Hurting myself, alcohol abuse, today I just googled methods to kill myself, but I’m not ready yet it seems. Maybe in a year?

    T.... ....

    hey dude, it's gonna be alright. What's on your mind?

    T.... ....

    Want to talk?

    T.... ....

    Thanks for worrying guys, I don’t want to sound rude, but I don’t want help. Once again: Thank you tho

    T.... ....

    You still alive?

    T.... ....

    Fight the demons in your doorstep

  24. E.... t....

    Youve got an amazing sound, i like your other stuff but dam... This song is my favorite. More stuff like tgis please.

    E.... t....

    Unfortunately that's not going to happen. He's gone with the ''hey I should become a silly gimmick to gain popularity''' route. He's made it very clear he's done with this kind of music too since he wiped it all from his own platforms right before he became ''Oliver Tree''. Very sad. R.I.P Tree.

  25. P.... ....

    I guess I'll have to download this in case it gets taken down somehow.

    P.... ....

    It’s on SoundCloud

  26. D.... D....

    They took this song off Spotify :(

    D.... D....

    Because he sold his soul

  27. W.... ....

    Why did this get taken off Spotify?

    W.... ....

    @Jeeroy Lenkins i saw a reply on soundcloud by the people who reuploaded the tracks, it goes like this:

    " We're happy we could help. And, as to the cause of the Forest Fire, we think we've pinned down the reason: "It seems like every two years I’ve had a complete overhaul of the music that I’m into; if I had thrown myself completely into one genre and stuck with it, I probably would have gone insane and been like, “Wow, I don’t like this kind of music at all anymore.”" -- Oliver Tree, 2012, in an interview with Prefix Magazine"

    W.... ....

    SalvaRoll That was back in 2012 before this was even released, but yeah seems like that could very well be the case, which is a huge shame.

    W.... ....

    @Jeeroy Lenkins it really is :/

    W.... ....

    SalvaRoll SalvaRoll Yeah his new music is okay but it doesn’t do anything special for me like all of his old songs. Sacred Elements, People and Demons are all such special songs to me I cant say any of his new tracks have hit me like that.

    W.... ....

    In fact I thought the same and it's wrong.
    It is not on spotify or on any platform just because those files were deleted or something like that I understand according to the ashwood project that is the producer. the music they listen to before alien boy is just anonymous finding rescued files, surely there are many more issues of oliver but nobody knows where they are

  28. A.... M....

    Sad they took it off of spotify

    A.... M....

    A. Mya i agree with that

    A.... M....

    For real! I just found out today. I had it on heavy rotation for so long :(

    A.... M....

    anyone know why they took it off??

    A.... M....

    riv3rr It has to be because he signed to a label and part of his contract probably stated he could no longer make revenue on those tracks, so was forced to remove every possible trace. In other words, he sold his soul.

    A.... M....

  29. P.... ....

    Glad i found this

  30. N.... y....

    Wait, is this Oliver tree? Don't understand...

    N.... y....

    yes, but he deleted all hes old music like this

    N.... y....

    Blas Tait sadly he had to, because he signed with another record label, and the old label made him make no revenue off his old music.

    @trini Ledgend mate

  34. k.... N....

    epic shit 💜

  35. j.... v....

    got this on vinyl- just came across it again after 4 years!

    j.... v....

    @kenpachi azazel not a weird flex, a pretty normal one tbh. Also that meme is dead. Also the comment was a year ago. Few months late.

    j.... v....

    @Myanq weird flex but ok.

    j.... v....

    @Leo Kuraoka Dead meme, but ok.

    j.... v....

    @Myanq o shit u got me

  36. P.... O....

    what Happened to the music video..

    P.... O....

    Oliver Tree decided to rebrand his whole persona and wiped the internet of his music. I was so disappointed.

    P.... O....

    Adrian Walker damn

    P.... O....

    panda on pills If u do a lil bit of research u still can find it. Nor on YouTube tho

    P.... O....

    @Adrian Walker Fuck his new persona, I want Tree and his great music back. His new persona is so silly. I would have loved to see him live but his new fan base is very young and immature since that's how he presents himself these days. I don't wanna be at a concert with little edge lords. I would love to go to a Tree concert however.

    P.... O....

    Man, oliver tree is just childish and little stupid. Tree is usually sad..

  37. C.... ....

    I keep coming back to this video. This song got me through some tough shit, man.

    C.... ....

    CRIM3S yea bro this song teaches you how to write

    C.... ....

    @It’s Lit wait really? This song taught me how to walk!

    C.... ....

    Ari the space nerd grammar as well.

  38. C.... ....

    Wow this is amazing

  39. C.... ....

    I love the vocals! raw, uninterfered and provides more of a creepy tone.

    Love it all!

  40. Q.... Z....

    Seriously? Music = awesome. Vocals = ouch.

    Q.... Z....

    You _dare_ disrespect tongue boy?

    Q.... Z....

    Deccadeo Youtube someone needs to put this bloody bitch on her period back into their place.

  41. n.... ....

    How has this had so little views?!!
