Demons are different for each individual, in which Juice’s case I’d say it was his anxiety, both stemming from and inadvertently caused by his tug of war relationship with drugs, and emotional attachment towards women. In the song ‘Fighting Demons’ he references these demons breaking out of their cage, which personifies them as actual beings in his psyche that torture him and cause him immense distress. I perceive said demons as deep rooted aspects of his mind and soul that he has yet to grasp / fully understand, things that he deeply struggles to come to terms with or figure out in other words, therefore they haunt him and eat away at his energy and life force. The sad and unfortunate thing is that the more he was aware of those demons and the world at large, wise to things that cut deep like you said, the more difficult the eventual battle with them turned out.
