Canadian country artist Brea Lawrenson has released some fresh new music! Her new single is called “Demons” and addresses some confidence struggles that many people face.
At the surface, “Demons” is a laid back track that’s perfect to turn up and sing along to in the car. But when you really start listening to the lyrics and hearing the song in its entirety you realize that it’s a very deep and personal song. Brea has really poured her whole heart into this song and it couldn’t have turned out better.
The song begins with a lot of statements that speak to self-doubt, and insignificance. Once the chorus comes around, and more towards the end of the song, it’s almost like Brea Lawrenson is screaming at her inner demons and telling them that they are not welcome to bring her down anymore.
This is a really relatable song that can anyone can see a bit of a reflection of themselves in. Both men and women often feel like this and it’s really important for artists like Brea to raise awareness of this through their art, and give people an outlet to relate to. There’s something therapeutic about this single. Just read the lyrics, and see for yourself.
Lyrics to Brea Lawrenson’s “Demons”
[Verse 1]
Don’t you know you’re not good enough
You ain’t pretty and you’re not that tough
Nobody likes you they think you’re too stuck up
You ain’t a size two
Ain’t gonna measure up
[Chorus]
These are the demons in my mind
They take on those feelings the heart breaking kind
And they turn them up like you turn them down
All I can hear is the lightest sound
of the devil as he laughs out loud
Beating my demons
Beating my demons
[Verse 2]
They never thought you’d be anything
Your proving ‘em right every single day
You’re not smart enough you should just give up
Everyone else is just talking about how you’ll never be anything
Ohhh
[Chorus]
These are the demons in my mind
They take on those feelings the heart breaking kind
And they turn them up like you turn them down
All I can hear is the lightest sound
of the devil as he laughs out loud
Beating my demons
Beating my demons
Yeah
[Verse 3]
But I’m in control
I’m beautiful
And every day is another day
So turn them down
turn it all around
Be the one who laughs out loud
Taming my demons
Say to my demons
Don’t you dare think you’re good enough
you ain’t pretty and you’re not that tough
Listen to, and download “Demons” by Brea Lawrenson to experience it for yourselves.

In country music, the Front Porch has long been a place of reflection. A place where you can look at the life you have inside that front door. A place where time almost seems to stand still, where you can get away. It’s also a place where you can go to observe the world as it passes by you. To think about your place out there beyond the driveway.
