Lyrics
I might dance with the devil in a mosh pit
I am willing to confront challenges and confront evil in a chaotic environment (mosh pit).
Let him feel half the pain that he cost me
I want the devil to experience some of the pain he has caused me.
Hellfire flowing behind all my spin kicks
A metaphorical depiction of intense and destructive energy accompanying physical movements.
Devil trying to hold me down but I welcome it
The devil is trying to hinder me, but I embrace the challenge.
Yeah, I welcome it
Reiteration of the willingness to face challenges from the devil.
Yeah, I welcome it
-Devil trying to hold me down
-But I welcome it
-Why? Because it's keeping me rooted
Staying grounded and firm in the face of adversity, likened to being rooted in rock.
When you're planted in the rock
-There's no way that you're moving
-I think the devil is humble
The devil is portrayed as cunning and inconspicuous, working subtly behind the scenes.
Way he snakes through crowds, movements quiet and subtle
-Way he crawls through minds like he's Leo DeCap
-He plays the backstage hand, he ain't in it for claps
-But, he knows I am
The devil recognizes the individual's inclination to resist conformity (blocking "I Am").
He knows I have
-A bad habit of
-Blocking "I Am"
-Like AOL
Comparing resistance to the devil with past experiences, emphasizing resilience.
In the sixth grade
-How he'd love to see
-My name "Away"
-But that won't happen
Asserting that resistance is steadfast and recorded in the Book of Life.
No, it's written there
-In the Book of Life
-It ain't going nowhere
-So I sigh and I try again
Despite facing challenges, the determination to continue the fight remains.
Fact he's fighting only tells me there's a war left to win
-So I don't let a losing battle frustrate me
Shifting to an offensive stance and channeling anger constructively.
I'm on the offense now and I'm angry
-I've learned to find his tracks and play his game
Adopting strategies to engage with the devil and confront him directly.
I'll take his dirty hand just to pull him in the ring
-I might dance with the devil in a mosh pit
Reiteration of the willingness to confront and endure pain inflicted by the devil.
Let him feel half the pain that he cost me
-Hellfire flowing behind all my spin kicks
-Devil trying to hold me down but I welcome it
-Yeah, I welcome it
Continued resolve and welcome to challenges presented by the devil.
Yeah, I welcome it
-Devil trying to hold me down
-But I welcome it
-Why? Because it's keeping me rooted
Reaffirmation of staying grounded and unmovable when anchored in a metaphorical rock.
When you're planted in the rock
-There's no way that you're moving
-No way
Emphasis on unwavering determination and commitment.
