Lyrics
Well I can't get the devil
Expressing inability to rid oneself of inner struggles or personal demons.
Outside of me, outside of me
Reiterating the difficulty of keeping inner turmoil at bay.
No I can't get the devil
Continuing the theme of inner struggles and the challenge of overcoming them.
Outside of me, outside of me
Repeating the idea that the internal conflict is hard to escape.
But I hate the world and everything I see
Expressing a general disdain for the world and everything observed.
Everything I see, everything I see
Reiterating a negative perspective on the world and surroundings.
And I'll never get the devil
Stating a belief that the inner struggles (devil) cannot be completely eliminated.
Outside of me, outside of me
Re-emphasizing the enduring nature of the internal conflict.
And I hate the world and everything I see
Repeating a strong aversion to the world and its facets.
Everything I see, everything I see
Echoing a negative perception of the world and its elements.
I know the meaning of the word when it came to me
Claiming understanding of the meaning of a significant concept or experience.
When it came to me, when it came to me
Repeating the revelation of understanding or realization.
I don't live, I just breathe
Suggesting a passive existence, devoid of true living.
I don't give and I don't receive
Indicating a lack of both giving and receiving in life.
And I'll never get the devil
Reiterating the persistence of internal struggles or demons.
Outside of me, outside of me
Emphasizing the ongoing nature of the internal conflict.
I don't get all the good things
Expressing a failure to experience positive aspects promised or expected.
You said I'd see, you said I'd see
Referring to unfulfilled promises or expectations.
And I don't see the light
Not perceiving the metaphorical light or positivity around.
Surrounding me, surrounding me
Re-emphasizing the lack of positive surroundings.
But I see lovers walking free
Observing others experiencing love and freedom.
And I see red each tyrant say
Noticing negativity symbolized by the color red in authoritative figures.
All the good things that'd come my way
Reflecting on missed opportunities for positive experiences.
And I don't know you and you don't know me
Expressing a lack of mutual understanding between individuals.
I know what I want, what I can be
Affirming personal goals and aspirations.
And I'll never get the devil
Reiterating the enduring presence of inner struggles or demons.
Outside of me, outside of me
Emphasizing the inescapability of the internal conflict.
Outside of me, outside of me
-Outside of me, outside of me
-Outside of me, outside of me
-Outside of me, outside of me
