Song Meaning of “Hell Must Be Empty (All The Demons Are Here)” by The Meteors
“Hell Must Be Empty (All The Demons Are Here)” by The Meteors deals with the idea that instead of being consigned to a physical hell, we may be instead experiencing a form of emotional condemnation to our own inner hell. It speaks of the darkness, and the emptiness that people feel when they are facing something that feels impossible, and they can find no way out.
The song likens this experience to being surrounded by demons – there isn’t any hope, and they plan on keeping us here for some time. It speaks of knowing that at least the demons here with us understand what we’re feeling and going through, and the topic of escaping never seems to come up.
The song urges people to fight through these emotions and find a way to break free. It encourages us to see these demons as not just enemies, but as a signal, warning us that some inner change is needed. Perhaps, if we can take courage, we can learn to rise above this dark place and be free once more.
