Dancing with Demons: Every Time I Die's Revelations
Lyrics
I tied the devil to the tracks
I took decisive action against evil or negativity.
(Can you hear the train coming?)
Emphasizes the impending arrival of consequences.
I served him papers with a seal from the governor
I formally notified evil, possibly seeking authority's backing.
The spoiler throwing voices
Distorting or misleading voices causing trouble.
The vapors that they built this city on
The deceptive foundations on which society is built.
But he don't write much for me anymore
Evil no longer influences or guides the speaker.
When we keep hell in our hearts
Despite harboring negativity, the speaker embraces their brilliance.
We make no excuse for our genius
Claiming responsibility for their intellectual prowess despite challenges.
So what's my excuse now that hell has abandoned me?
Feeling abandoned by negativity, questioning purpose.
I enticed the devil out with a bottle
Attempting to entice or confront evil using a bottle (symbolizing temptation).
But maybe it was he who lured me out instead
Raising the possibility that evil manipulated the speaker.
When we slept in penitent beds
After repentance, waking up to the consequences of one's actions.
We awoke in the loving arms of attrition
Experiencing the embrace of repentance.
So what's my excuse now that hell isn't courting me?
Questioning purpose after the absence of negativity's influence.
Give me the strength to be widowed
Seeking strength to endure solitude after a joyful period.
Now that the honeymoon's over
Acknowledging the end of a blissful phase.
Grant me the privileges saved for the sailors
Desiring privileges associated with those facing challenges.
Condemned with you all
Expressing frustration and condemnation toward others.
Goddamn you all
-Condemned with you all
-Goddamn you all
-I marched across the muddied stream
Describing a journey illuminated by questionable means, breaking into forbidden places.
Illuminated from beneath
-And the lock was picked with the church's key
-We found on the belt of the veteran
Using items associated with veterans to engage in indulgence.
And to open bar tabs in the taverns
-Assembled in levels by the damned and fanatic for me
-We never loved ourselves so well
Finding self-love in the pursuit of desire.
As when we lusted after another
Enjoying passionate moments with others.
We hummed along to electric guitars
-And the standard, whoa oh oh oh's
-And we drank each other under the covers
-I eased the devil back with the throttle
Controlling or confronting evil using force.
'Cause I'd rather live my life in regret than not take part in it
Choosing to live with regrets rather than avoiding experiences.
Ooh, if the devil don't mind, well it's alright with me
Accepting being unnoticed by negativity or challenges.
So what do I do when the devil don't notice me?
-Give me the strength to be widowed
Seeking strength to face the challenges of solitude.
Now that the honeymoon's over
-Grant me the privileges saved for the sailors
-Condemned with you all
Expressing frustration and condemnation towards others (repeated).
Goddamn you all
-Condemned with you all
-Goddamn you all
-And in my 27th year
Reflecting on a transformative experience with God.
I was dragged kicking and screaming into light
-And I looked at God in the face and I said
-I said, ?God?, I said, I said [Incomprehensible]
-I tied the devil to the tracks
Repeating the act of confronting evil but with a twist, involving a beautiful girl.
Can you hear the train coming?
-And I tied the tracks in a lover's knot
-Around the finger of a beautiful girl
-I'll keep hell, I'll keep hell
Expressing a willingness to embrace challenges and negativity.
I'll keep hell if hell will have me
-I'll keep hell, I'll keep hell
-I'll keep hell if hell will have me
