Red
Dance with the Devil: A Haunting Tale of Love Lost
Lyrics
He said come out and play
Invitation to engage in activities together
And it was all fun and games
Initially enjoyable and light-hearted
He asked me to dance
Request to participate in a dance
And we danced danced danced
Engagement in dancing repeatedly
His eyes where red
Symbolism of danger or intense emotion, possibly anger
And at the first break of day
Shift to a new phase or realization
My true love went away
Loss of affection or connection
Oh he's evil she says
Perception of the person as malevolent
He knows your name
Recognition of identity and involvement in a situation
And you've played his game
Acknowledgment of participation in a manipulative scenario
He'll eat your flesh
Threat of harm or destruction
And he'll spit out the seeds
Metaphorical representation of rejecting what's undesirable
Those eyes will go red
Reiteration of danger or intense emotion through eyes
And at the first break of day
Repetition of separation or departure
Your true love will go away
Continuation of the loss of genuine affection or connection
Oh leave let me be
Plea to be left alone
Let the devil take me
Willingness to succumb to darkness or negativity
Oh leave can't you see
Request to realize the impossibility of rescue
You cannot save me
Recognition of inability to be saved from the situation
So I sit and wait
Passivity and expectation of an event or arrival
'Till one night he came
Anticipation or expectation of a particular occurrence
And it was all fun and games
Repetition of earlier joyful activities with an ominous undertone
He asked me to dance
Reiteration of a request for participation in a dance
And we danced danced danced
Repetition of engaging in dancing repeatedly
Those eyes went red
Reiteration of danger or intense emotion through eyes
And at the first break of day
Repetition of the loss of affection or connection at daybreak
My true love went away
Continued departure or loss of genuine affection
