I think this song is universal to everybody to some extent. we all have our "demons," whether that be depression, anxiety, gambling, drug abuse, jealousy, etc. some of us have been face to face with our demons, some more extreme/often than others. your demons signify things that bring you down physically, mentally, and/or emotionally. at the end of the day we all have our deepest hidden secrets and feelings - do we always choose to share these with our loved ones, let alone others? sometimes, no. the singer is hesitant to open up to his love interest, if thats what you want to call the person. they say "the eyes are the window to the soul;" well, the singer's line about looking into his eyes where his demons hide explains that pretty straightforward. feeling confused, tortured, or lost are horrible to experience, but in this world it is inevitable. what differentiates us is our faith/what keeps us going, and how we deal with our demons and whether we choose to feed into them or not. there are always two natures at battle in us - and that is good and evil.
