Devil Don't Sleep
Temptation's Grip: Battling Weakness as the Devil Lurks
Lyrics
I tell myself that I won't go back
I struggle to resist returning to a troubled past.
To the wild side of the tracks
Avoiding the risky and troublesome part of life.
But it seems like every day
Every day, I encounter challenges and temptations.
There's temptation standing in my way
Constantly facing allurements that obstruct my path.
Oh A man gets weak
Human vulnerability becomes apparent.
And the devil don't sleep
Evil forces persist, representing constant challenges.
My doctor said I drink too much
Medical advice indicates excessive alcohol consumption.
We all die but what's the rush
We all die eventually, so why rush life?
I watch my weight and try to eat right
Focusing on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
It's a daily struggle and a losing fight, 'cause...
A daily struggle with little chance of success.
Oh A man gets weak
Human weakness is a recurring theme.
And the devil don't sleep
The challenges posed by temptation persist.
Things I love are bad as hell
Things I love have negative consequences.
And what I hate will make me well
Actions I dislike may bring positive outcomes.
Satan is after this soul of mine
A spiritual struggle with the influence of Satan.
Wants my name on the dotted line
Satan desires my soul and seeks my commitment.
Things I love are bad as hell
Reiteration of the conflict between love and consequences.
And what I hate will make me well
Reiteration of the paradoxical nature of actions.
Satan is after this soul of mine
Continued reference to the spiritual battle with Satan.
Wants my name on the dotted line
Satan's desire for a commitment remains.
I give my time to help the poor
Engaging in charitable acts to help those in need.
And I give money to find a cure
Contributing financially towards finding cures.
Trying to live just like I should
Striving to live a virtuous life despite difficulties.
But it ain't easy trying to be good
The challenge of maintaining goodness is acknowledged.
Oh A man gets weak
Reiteration of human weakness in the face of challenges.
And the devil don't sleep
The constant presence of challenges and temptations.
