Lyrics
Don't keep quiet
Encouragement to speak up and express oneself
Find a deal
Suggesting to negotiate or find a solution
If they can't think it
Encouragement to make others understand, even if they can't comprehend
Make 'em feel
Urge to evoke emotions in others
Use your eyes
Emphasizing the importance of observation
Don't compare
Discouraging comparisons
On a global scale
Suggesting a broad perspective
Strip it bare
Advocating for simplicity and honesty
Think out loud
Encouragement to express thoughts openly
Stay in shape
Advising to maintain physical and mental well-being
Spill your wine
Symbolic act of rebellion or defiance
On the devils cape
Symbolic reference to confronting challenges
Waste your money
Encouraging a non-conventional use of money
Like you think you should
Encouragement to celebrate and enjoy life
And raise your glass
A toast to unity or camaraderie
To the brotherhood
Reference to a sense of brotherhood or community
It's the devil in the blood, baby
Introduction of the metaphorical "devil in the blood"
He's the cutter of a mighty funky deal
Describing the devil as a dealer of powerful and funky arrangements
Be it only for a real short time now
Highlighting the temporary nature of the deal
Before the cold sun of circumstance
Anticipation of challenging times represented by the "cold sun of circumstance"
Shines on!
Emphasizing the inevitability of challenging circumstances
Smile on picture
Emphasis on maintaining a positive appearance
Smoke in bed
Implies a relaxed or carefree attitude
Don't ever think
Caution against presuming to fully understand someone close
You know your pet
Warning about assumptions regarding personal relationships
Use your charm
Encouragement to use personal charm wisely
But don't compare
Reiteration against making comparisons
Tell them when
Advice to communicate timing
But never where
Caution about disclosing location or specifics
It's the devil in the blood, baby
Reiteration of the metaphorical "devil in the blood"
He's the cutter of a mighty funky deal
Re-emphasis on the devil's role as a powerful dealer
Be it only for a real short time now
Reiteration of the temporary nature of the deal
Before the cold sun of circumstance
Reiteration of the impending challenges represented by the "cold sun of circumstance"
Shines on!
Emphasis on the inevitability of challenges
Don't be precious
Advice against being overly protective or possessive
Don't be proud
Caution against excessive pride
The past means nothing
Downplaying the significance of the past during difficult times
When you're down
Reminder that past achievements may not be helpful in challenging moments
Living hard
Encouragement to endure difficult times
For a while
Suggesting that enduring hardship won't compromise one's character or essence
Will hurt your bones
Temporary physical discomfort contrasted with enduring personal style
But not your style
It's the devil in the blood
