Lyrics
I met the devil at the crossroads
The singer encountered a metaphorical representation of evil or temptation at a critical juncture in their life.
And he asked me for my soul
The 'devil' symbolically requested the singer's soul.
I said, "only if you take me
The singer is willing to trade their soul, but with a condition that they don't want to live long.
Long before I can grow old"
The singer prefers not to live a full life and implies a willingness to embrace death earlier.
And, puzzled he just sat there
The 'devil' is perplexed by the singer's unconventional viewpoint.
And asked, "How can you think that way?"
The 'devil' questions the singer's perspective on mortality.
I said, "We're all in love with dying
The singer believes everyone is attracted to the idea of dying in some way.
And I've been searching every day"
The singer expresses a relentless pursuit of something, possibly related to understanding life and death.
And I can't wait until you take that knife
These lines are left empty in the lyrics.
Of yours and run me through
-Don't you ever try to tell me
-That this life was meant for you
-I made it through the fall
-But I will freeze before the spring, yeah
-Whatever you do, just
-Don't believe, don't believe in me
-(yeah) Don't believe in me
-I met the devil in Miami
The singer encounters the 'devil' again, this time in a different location, Miami.
And he said it would be fine
The 'devil' reassures the singer that things will be okay.
Yeah, but Jahsey caught a bullet
A reference to someone named Jahsey who got shot, creating fear in the singer that they might be next.
And I fear the next one's mine
The singer fears becoming a victim of violence, especially after witnessing others suffer similar fates.
Yeah, and Peep is in my nightmares
Lamenting the haunting thoughts about the late artist Peep, fearing a similar fate for themselves.
That could easily be me
The singer is troubled by the possibility of experiencing the same tragic fate as those they fear.
And the devil bought my soul
The 'devil' acquires the singer's soul, but the singer would willingly sacrifice their life.
But I would give my life for free
The singer values their life more than their soul.
And I can't wait until you take that knife
These lines are left empty in the lyrics.
Of yours and run me through
-Don't you ever try to tell me
-That this life was meant for you
-I made it through the fall
-But I will freeze before the spring, yeah
-Whatever you do, just
-Don't believe, don't believe in me
-Don't believe in me don't believe in me
-Don't believe in me don't believe in me
A reiterated plea to not believe in the singer, emphasizing a lack of trust or belief in themselves.
