Devil's Got a Hold
Enigmatic Dance of Souls: Devil's Grip Revealed in Katie O'Malley's Haunting Melody
Lyrics
She lives in a haunted house everyone says she doesn't speak
She resides in a haunted house, and people claim she is silent.
New girl she came to town they said she wouldn't last the week
A newcomer to town, doubted to stay beyond a week by others.
I saw her dancing by the pale of the moonlight
Observation of her dancing under the moonlight.
That girl came to town with more than a suitcase and her feet
Arrived with more than a suitcase and her presence.
She was on her porch the time I saw her last
Last sighting of her on the porch.
She was laughing then crying just as fast
She displayed a range of emotions, laughing and crying rapidly.
Something's going on in the neighbourhood
Hinting at mysterious events in the neighborhood.
That girl's the epicentre I know it like I know my gun
She is the focal point of the mysterious happenings.
She knows she knows Devil's got a hold of her soul
She acknowledges that the Devil has a hold on her soul.
She knows she knows Devil's got a hold of her black soul
Reiteration of the Devil's influence on her, specifying her soul is black.
Young john he lives down by the old church
Introduction of a character named Young John living near a church.
He took a liking to her followed her round like a curse
Young John has an intense interest in the girl, likened to a curse.
Two nights ago, I heard they found young john dead
Recent news of Young John's death.
Never got any farther than the church yard where he now rests
He didn't get far and now rests in the churchyard.
She knows she knows the Devil's got a hold of her soul
Reiteration that she is aware the Devil has a hold on her soul.
She knows she knows the Devil's got a hold of her soul
Reaffirmation of the Devil's influence on her soul.
She knows she knows Devil's got a hold of her soul
Continued acknowledgment of the Devil's hold on her soul.
She knows she knows Devil's got a hold of her black soul
Repetition, emphasizing the Devil's influence on her black soul.
Now no one dares darken her door
No one dares to visit her anymore.
The only thing that nears is the black crow
Only a black crow comes near her.
She knows she knows the Devil's got a hold of her soul
Reiterating the awareness that the Devil controls her soul.
She knows she knows the Devil's got a hold of her soul
Reaffirmation of the Devil's grip on her soul.
She knows she knows Devil's got a hold of her soul
Continued acknowledgment of the Devil's hold on her soul.
She knows she knows Devil's got a hold of her black soul
Repetition, emphasizing the Devil's influence on her black soul.
