== Lyrics ==
[Verse 1]
I'm electric, chemicals I breathe (Yeah)
And did I mention? I bleed kerosene
When sparks begin to fly
Oh, the flames they multiply
Well, I'm burnin' up alive
I said I'm burnin' up alive
My Mr. Rager
My Jekyll and Hyde
My only savior
Is when I look into your eyes
They tell no lies
I can feel the conversation
Starting to arise
I'm a living legend
I'm a broken man
Who are you?
So who are you?
Today
[Chorus]
Everybody's got demons
And sometimes they take control
Everybody's got demons
Sometimes they got to go
[Drop]
Sometimes they got to go
When I'm gone, remember me
[Verse 2]
I'm electric, chemicals I breathe (Yeah)
And did I mention? I bleed kerosene
When sparks begin to fly
Oh, the flames they multiply
Well, I'm burnin' up alive
But how do we survive?
Survive
Never lose control
[Chorus]
Everybody's got demons
And sometimes they take control
Everybody's got demons
Sometimes they got to go
[Drop]
Sometimes they got to go
Sometimes they got to go
==Song Analysis==
"My Mr. Rager [a song by Kid Cudi]
My Jeckyll and Hyde [a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson]" both discuss having a alter ego. Mr Rager is unaccepting of reality and counters this by seeking external experiences to try escape. Jeckyll is a scientist, who in meddling with science, creates a evil uncaring alternate ego called Hyde. This all relates to Steve being taken over by his alternate ego Herobrine, who is evil much like Hyde and is unaccepting like Mr Rager of his wife's death and his lost daughter.
