The Devil In I Lyrics Meaning
My depiction is as followed.
Undo these CHAINS, my friend
I'll show you THE RAGE I've hidden
-The literal aspect of letting lose. Not holding back. It could be deeper in in specifically saying someone had place restrictions on someone but their relationship has changed.
Perish the Sacrament,
Swallow, but nothing's forgiven!
-Sacrament is a religious service. Common practice of drinking wine and consuming bread for forgiveness of sins so because this time something can't be forever even the church or god cannot help this person.
You & I can't decide which of us was taken for granted
Make amends, some of us are destined to be OUTLIVED!
-This shows clashing view points. It holds importance but yet was still forgotten or overlooked. Outlived could be in the literal sense meaning Death or in the perspective of picking yourself up, dust off and move on with life, and/or, making the best out of a situation.
STEP INSIDE,
SEE THE DEVIL IN I
Too many times, we've let it come to this
STEP INSIDE,
SEE THE DEVIL IN I
You'll realize I'm not YOUR DEVIL anymore
-Word for word it means to see the worst in someone else. Over all it hints at maybe someone was an instigator/ bad influence on the second person. Not your devil anymore plays off of See the Devil In I, which could turn the table and actually mean the first person is telling the other to not misplace blame and to actually look inside one's self.
Under the words of men, something is tempting the father
Where is your will, my friend? Insatiates never even bother
-A religious figure is struggling with something due to gossip. Generally unknowing due to deceit or knowing and fighting against right and wrong. "will" to not sin. Insatiates are a group of people that always urn for more. Never happy.
You & I wrong or right, traded a lie for the leverage
In between the lens in light,
You're not what you seem!
-Whatever the reasoning an individual claims for bending the truth or for justify it but its still a lie. Seems with each verse, lyrically its an example of another form of sin. You're not what you seem, obviously a fake or hiding something.
STEP INSIDE,
SEE THE DEVIL IN I
Too many times, we've let it come to this
STEP INSIDE,
SEE THE DEVIL IN I
You'll realize I'm not your devil,
I'm not YOUR DEVIL anymore!
-Repeating the chorus confirms to not place blame and look at yourself. You are your own Devil.
Your station is abandoned
Fool you 'cause I know what you've done!
Sensation,
Depravation
You should've burned
When you turned on everyone
-Depicts and individual calling someone out for doing someone else wrong or letting someone down, a broken promise and not owning up, that they ran away like a coward. Maybe took the easy way out.
SO STEP INSIDE,
SEE THE DEVIL IN I
Too many times, we've let it come to this
STEP INSIDE,
SEE THE DEVIL IN I
Oh, when all that's left does not make sense
STEP INSIDE,
SEE THE DEVIL IN I
I know you'll find your answers in the end
STEP INSIDE,
SEE THE DEVIL IN I
You'll realize I'm not YOUR DEVIL ANYMORE
SO STEP INSIDE,
STEP INSIDE
SEE THE DEVIL IN I
SEE THE DEVIL IN I
-Eventually this person will have to face the truth because in the end thats all that will be left. Again these are my interpretations and I try to cover things in a spectrum of possibilities. Thank you.
