Lucifer
Dancing with Devils: Unraveling the Intricate Web of Deceit in Ella Meade's 'Lucifer'
Lyrics
You say you hate all your friends
You express dislike for your friends.
They talk about you like you're shit
Others speak negatively about you.
And I never listen to their perspectives but I wish I did
You don't consider different perspectives, but you regret not doing so.
Say that you're just like them
You claim similarity to others but struggle to fit in.
But you never seem to fit in
Your attempts to belong seem unsuccessful.
How did it take me this long to find out we don't get along
Realization that the relationship is strained.
And you're trying to make this out more than it is
You exaggerate the situation.
But if you want me to be the bitch, I'll be the best bitch there is
Willing to be confrontational if required.
I'll break you down, take away your crown
Expressing intent to break someone down and take their pride.
You'll be begging of me, oh you'll see me in the sky
Envisioning dominance and superiority.
When you're asking me why but why mess with Lucifer?
Questioning the wisdom of challenging Lucifer.
You'll be on your knees praying and pleading
Anticipating a plea for mercy.
But you know the truth that even Lucifer, Lucifer
Highlighting the inevitability of facing consequences.
Thinks you're a fool
Stating that even Lucifer considers you foolish.
Can make my reputation burn in the best of both worlds
Ability to tarnish one's reputation in both worlds.
You act like you're so perfect
Pointing out hypocrisy in portraying oneself as perfect.
Like you don't know that you're the worst
Acknowledging one's flaws despite pretense.
And all your accomplices have enemies
Your associates have enemies who submit only to be liberated.
They only bow to be set free
Hinting at influence over others.
Think they got that all from me, what do you think?
Questioning the origin of their behaviors.
And you're acting like I never qualified
Feeling unappreciated despite qualifications.
I moved body's for you day through night
Invested time and effort in supporting the other person.
Sun down, and I got in your fights
Participated in conflicts for their sake.
Best accomplice that you ever had
Claims to be the best accomplice.
Yeah you should've been a better lad cause baby I'm never running back
Regretting not choosing a better partner.
I'll break you down, take away your crown
Reiteration of intent to break down and dominate.
You'll be begging of me, oh you'll see me in the sky
Envisioning superiority and visibility.
When you're asking me why but why mess with Lucifer?
Raising questions about challenging Lucifer.
You'll be on your knees praying and pleading
Expecting pleas for mercy and acknowledgment of the truth.
But you know the truth that even Lucifer, Lucifer
Highlighting the inevitability of facing consequences.
Thinks you're a fool
Stating that even Lucifer considers you foolish.
And I've seen it all before
Claiming to have experienced similar situations before.
Know what you have in store
Anticipating challenges and obstacles.
But darling you're nothing compared to her.
Comparing someone unfavorably to another person.
I'll break you down, you'll lose your crown
Reiterating the intent to break down and dethrone.
Don't beg of me
Rejecting pleas and begging.
You said were the king
Discrediting someone who claimed to be a king.
You'll be on your knees praying to be free
Anticipating prayers for freedom but asserting control.
But you know me
Asserting familiarity with oneself.
You'll see me in the sky, with a big old smile
Envisioning a triumphant and joyful presence.
You'll be begging of me, oh baby
Anticipating pleas and acknowledgments.
You'll be praying and pleading, be on your knees
Expecting submission and humility.
Then I will be singing: why mess with Lucifer
Expressing the inevitability of facing consequences.
Lucifer, why mess with Lucifer
Reiterating the warning against challenging Lucifer.
Ah oh, ah oh, ah oh, ah oh, ah
Repetitive vocalization, possibly emphasizing a triumphant outcome.
