Devil's Amplifier
Dance with the Devil: Unveiling Temptation in Kid Pharaoh's Melody
Lyrics
I think I might be losing my mind
I feel like I might be losing my sanity
I think I might be losing my mind
Repetition, emphasizing the uncertainty about mental stability
This what the devil plays to come alive
Refers to music that represents the devil's essence
This what the devil plays, he comes alive
Repetition, emphasizing the impact of devilish music
That fruit up in his hand looking ripe
Describes a tempting fruit in the devil's hand
He said see this apple here? Take a bite
The devil tempts with an apple, reminiscent of biblical imagery
The temptation got me feeling like I should
The temptation is making the speaker consider taking a risky action
Why everything’s that’s bad make
Rhetorical question, pondering why negative things are appealing
Me feel good?
The paradox of feeling pleasure from things perceived as bad
I guess that’s why I’m looking to
Reflecting on the search for meaning or direction
The sky sky sky sky
Repetition, expressing confusion and seeking answers
I’ve been tryna figure out what’s
-Right right right right
-Alleviate desires for the night
-Night night night
-I was falling now I’m ‘bout
-To dive dive dive dive
-I guess that’s why I’m looking to
-The sky sky sky sky
-I’ve been tryna figure out what’s
-Right right right right
-Alleviate desires for the night
-Night night night
-I was falling now I’m ‘bout
-To dive dive dive dive
-Uh, think I’m sinning forgive me
Conversations with the devil, negotiating and succumbing to temptation
I know he’s been tryna get me
-Looking for help do you hear me
-Before he catches up with me
-I see these lights in the city
-All of the lights tryna trick me
-I know what glitters is pretty
-I feel the fear creeping in me
-Asked him what do you want
-He said I just want your soul
-I asked him what do I owe?
-He said you reap what you sow
-So I went home, wrapped it and put a bow
-He said pleasure doing business final
-Offer now it’s sold
-Tell me am I falling i feel like I'm falling
Questioning if the speaker is metaphorically falling and hoping for resolution
Hope it's over in the morning, yeah
-I feel like I'm falling tell me am I falling
-I feel like I'm falling, yeah
Reiteration of the feeling of falling
This that heat, this that lava
Describing intense emotions, seeking salvation from a higher power
Save me holy father
-This is what they playing right down
-In the pit's of fire
-And we down here waiting for
-The Lord to sanctify us
-While my sins are blasting
-Through the devil’s amplifier
-Uh, they saying he’s a liar
Acknowledging the devil's deceptive nature but succumbing to desires
But it feels so truthful to
-Fulfill all my desires
-All the lust and greed I need is
-Free when I can find 'em
-Live your fantasy and don't you flee
-That' life's behind ya
-Tell me are you feeling high anymore
Asking existential questions about life, temptation, and salvation
The feeling only lasts for the
-Night then you fall
-I feel the temptation in my mind and my soul
-Lord I been waiting for your
-Light to come forth (What's your gold?
-Lose your soul what's your affliction?
Reflecting on personal struggles, addictions, and afflictions
What's your addiction?
-Uh, just shine your light on me
Seeking divine guidance and realizing the cost of freedom
‘cause I been feeling free
-But this freedom isn’t so free when
-The path you travel is steep
-Flesh is becoming weak
Struggling with inner conflicts between flesh and spirit
And my spirit’s feeling so meek
-And I’m looking for air to breathe
-While I’m tempted by fantasy why me?
Expressing a conflicted relationship with a fallen angel and temptation
But I think I fell in love a fallen angel
-And she’s in a red dress sitting at the table
-She said come on over here
-Baby I can save you
-The horns from her head grew
-Up and she takes you and she takes you
-And she takes you and she takes you
Repetition, emphasizing the irresistible nature of the fallen angel
