The Torture Doctor
Confessions of the Torture Doctor: A Tale of Regret and Redemption
Lyrics
The torture doctor is in
The torture doctor is present.
Back here to confess his sins
He has returned to admit his wrongdoing.
Knowing damn well he was dead wrong
Acknowledging that he was seriously mistaken.
And I can't believe my eyes
The speaker is shocked by what they see.
Trouble and regret haunt my mind
Feeling troubled and haunted by regret.
I'll let you take the whole thing down brick by brick
Allowing someone to dismantle everything, metaphorically or literally.
Tonight
Actions taking place tonight.
And there's a devil dancing in my head
An evil presence or thoughts disturbing the speaker's mind.
As I'm hovering above your bed
The speaker observing from above as something unfolds.
Hey, ho, we know how this story goes
Expressing familiarity with the unfolding events.
Hey, ho, the plot it thickens and grows
The plot of the situation is becoming more complicated.
Hey, ho, there's nothing left to hide
Nothing is concealed anymore.
Hey, ho, down here on the south side
Referring to a location, possibly indicating a specific area or neighborhood.
I was the worst of my kind
The speaker used to be a terrible person.
I left me old life behind
Abandoning a previous way of life.
Can't believe I got away with it so long
Surprised at getting away with wrongful actions for an extended period.
At the end of the day
Conveying a sense of finality or conclusion.
There is nothing to say
No words left to justify or explain.
So tired of being wired wrong
Frustrated with chronic misbehavior.
All my life
Reflecting on a lifetime of experiences.
And there's a devil dancing in my head
Reiteration of disturbing thoughts in the speaker's mind.
As I'm hovering above your bed
Observing from above as something unfolds, possibly with a sinister connotation.
