Frontman Matt Tuck explained the lyrical inspiration for "Walking The Demon" on their record label's website: "It's important to us that fans can make a connection with our songs. For example, 'Waking The Demon' is about being bullied at school - which is something that me and most of the boys went though. The track is about one day, just turning round, and deciding to not take it anymore. I'd hope that our fans can relate to that."
The video shows a different interpretation, but still has the same concept. The main character, who is seen as being bullied most of the time by other schoolkids, crosses out each day on his calendar until he reaches a day a full moon will occur. Then he lures one of the bullies in and turns into the werewolf, in which he murders him. It takes the meaning more literally.
Matt Tuck recalled to Kerrang! October 20, 2014: "When we wrote this song, it was the heaviest thing we had ever done. I wanted something passionate to sing about, and I dug back into what used to piss me off growing up. It was my school, basically. I got picked on a lot at school, so this is my opportunity to get my own back at them through song." He added: "The line 'You sealed your demise when you took what was mine' is me saying to the people picked on me, 'One day going to get your comeuppance.'"
