Devil Man
Deals with the Devil: Unveiling the Dark Betrayal in 'Devil Man'
Lyrics
Give me the money
Expressing a desire for money
Give me the gold
Expressing a desire for wealth or valuable possessions
Dirty little palms
Referring to hands as dishonest or corrupt
And a heart that's cold yeah
Describing a person with a cold or unfeeling heart
Kiss of the serpent
Referring to a deceitful or tempting kiss
Bite of the fruit
Mentioning the consequences of consuming forbidden knowledge
You can keep the knowledge
Choosing material wealth over knowledge
I just want the loot
Expressing a strong desire for money or valuables
Want the loot
Reinforcing the desire for material wealth
I just want the loot yeah
Reiterating the desire for money or valuables
Chorus:
Introduction of the theme of making deals and facing consequences
I'm making deals
Engaging in negotiations or agreements
With a mighty bad hand
Facing challenges or difficulties
Fishing in a boat
Using a sinking boat as a metaphor for a precarious situation
That is sinking in sand
Engaging in risky actions
And I'm messing into things
Getting involved in situations one shouldn't
That I never should have
Regret over past actions
And I'm making plans
Making future plans with negative consequences
With the Devil Man
Associating with the Devil or evil influences
Sneaking through the dark
Moving in secrecy, possibly with negative intentions
Like a vigil in black
Describing a vigilant presence in a dark setting
I kiss You on the cheek
Mixing affection with betrayal
Then I stab You in the back yeah
Committing an act of betrayal
Cause what I didn't know
Realizing ignorance about certain facts or consequences
Is what I didn't know
Reflecting on lack of awareness
The hammer cracked and the blood it flowed yeah
Describing a violent incident with consequences
And I wish I could take it back hey but
Expressing regret for past actions
(chorus)
Reiteration of the chorus
Hanging from my neck
Referring to a symbol of betrayal or guilt hanging around the neck
From a dirty piece of wood
Describing a significant and negative symbol made of wood
I'm known as the betrayer
Labeling oneself as a betrayer
Buried in a field of blood
Being immersed in a situation of violence and betrayal
In a field of blood, hey
Repetition of being in a field of blood, emphasizing the negative consequences
(chorus)
Final reiteration of dealing with the Devil and facing the consequences
