Devil in Disguise
Unveiling the Deceptive Allure: "Devil in Disguise" Meaning Explored
Lyrics
I could tell from her kiss
I sensed something from her kiss.
And the taste of her lips
Her lips tasted a certain way, revealing something about her.
And the fire in her eyes
The intensity in her eyes suggested a hidden nature.
She's a devil in disguise
She appears innocent but is actually deceitful.
Pouring drinks in the back room
Serving drinks in a concealed place.
A toast to the ghost she once knew
Drinking to memories of a past lover.
And laughing back at the boys that made her cry
Laughing at those who caused her pain in the past.
Masked as an angel
Presenting herself as an angel while concealing emotional distress.
Hiding the pain well
Successfully hiding her emotional suffering.
Holding court at the bar as snow blew past the lights
Commanding attention at the bar during snowy weather.
She's a little bit
She possesses a hint of danger.
Of paraffin
Comparing her to a substance used in lamps, implying a flammable nature.
Living off the flames from the fire
Surviving on the chaos and excitement she creates.
She drew me in
She captivated and drew the speaker in.
Now I can't pretend
The speaker can no longer deny her deceptive nature.
That she's not the devil in disguise
She is unmistakably a deceptive and dangerous figure.
I know the hell she's been through
Understanding the hardships she has endured.
Cause I've been through it too
The speaker can empathize, having faced similar challenges.
And I know the road and I think I see a way to the light
Recognizing a possible path towards redemption or positivity.
She's got magic inside
She possesses a mysterious and alluring quality.
And I just can't take my eyes
The speaker is mesmerized by her magical allure.
Off her smile as she slips the poison into my wine
Her enchanting smile conceals a harmful intent, possibly referring to manipulation.
There's a little bit of evidence
There is some evidence pointing to her guilt.
To prove that she's the culprit of the crime
Implying she is responsible for a metaphorical crime.
She drew me in
She ensnared the speaker with her charm.
Now I can't pretend
The speaker can no longer feign ignorance about her true nature.
That she's not the devil in disguise
Reiterating that she is indeed a deceptive and dangerous figure.
Oh no she's a devil in disguise
Affirming that she is truly a deceptive presence.
And I'm dancing with the devil in disguise
The speaker is metaphorically engaged in a risky dance with her.
There's a little bit of evidence
Repeating the idea that there is evidence pointing to her guilt.
To prove that she's the culprit of the crime
Reiterating her involvement in a metaphorical crime.
She drew me in
She captivated the speaker with her charm.
Now I can't pretend
The speaker can no longer deny her deceptive nature.
That she's not the devil in disguise
Emphasizing that she is truly a deceptive and dangerous figure.
Oh no she's a devil in disguise
Reiterating the idea that she is indeed a deceptive presence.
Going down with the devil in disguise
Suffering consequences or facing challenges due to involvement with her.
And I'm dancing with the devil in disguise
Continuing the metaphorical dance with the dangerous and deceptive figure.
