Evil Woman
Unveiling the Darkness: Decoding the Meaning Behind Black Sabbath's "Evil Woman
Lyrics
I've seen a look of evil in your eyes
Recognition of a sinister expression in the person's eyes
You've been filling me all full of lies
Accusation of being deceived by lies
Sorrow will not change your shameful deeds
Implying that remorse won't amend the wrongs committed
Do well best, someone else has better seen
Suggesting that the person should strive harder as someone else might have observed their true nature
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Warning the woman against manipulating or deceiving
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Reinforcing the warning against playing deceitful games
Now I know just what you're looking for
Understanding the woman's motives or desires
You want me to claim that child you bore
Implying a desire for the man to take responsibility for a child, possibly insincerely
Well you know that it must he not be
Acknowledging that the situation cannot be as she desires
And you know the way it got to be
Highlighting an understanding of the reality of the situation
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Reiteration of warning against the woman's manipulative behavior
Evil woman, don't you play your games with
Continuation of the warning against her games
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Further emphasis on not falling prey to her deceitful actions
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Repeated caution against her manipulation
Wickedness lies in your moisten lips
Describing allure and temptation in a negative light
Your body moves just like the crack of a whip
Comparing her movements to something forceful and potentially harmful
Blackness sleeps on top of your stray bed
Associating darkness with her presence and actions
Do you whish that you could see me dead
Questioning if she desires the speaker's demise
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Repeating the warning against her manipulative behavior
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Continuation of the warning against her deceitful games
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Emphasizing the need to avoid her manipulations
Evil woman, don't you play your games with me
Final repetition of the warning against her deceitful actions
