The Devil's Way
Dancing with Temptation: The Devil's Whisper in Changing Lives
Lyrics
You say my life is changing
You acknowledge that my life is undergoing a transformation.
Lack of communication
There is a lack of communication in our relationship.
No answer to my calling
My attempts to reach out are met with no response.
The sheep is on vacation
A metaphorical "sheep" (possibly referring to someone naive or passive) is absent or disengaged.
Out of town in a foreign town
I'm in an unfamiliar place, away from home.
Whose name I can't pronounce
The foreign place's name is challenging to pronounce.
Believe me when I tell you I am gone
I assure you that I have left; there's a sense of finality.
What do you say when he calls your name
How do you react when someone (possibly the devil) calls your name?
In such a peculiar way
The manner in which the name is called is strange or unconventional.
There ain't no doubt that the mind alone
No doubt that the mind, when alone, can engage in risky or harmful behavior.
Can play dangerous games
The mind can play dangerous games without external influence.
He asked for my heart and I gave it away
I gave away my heart when asked; a metaphor for a significant commitment.
Ain't no turning back beware my love beware
Once committed, there's a warning about the irreversible nature of the decision; beware of love.
I call it the devil's way
The singer labels this challenging path as "the devil's way."
Two bodies in the room both mine
There are two aspects of myself present in a room.
Looking at me like it's not my prime
Others perceive me as not in my prime or at my best.
Looking like a frightened cat with a suicidal touch
A description of the way others look at me with fear and a sense of self-destructiveness.
And every time I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes, there's a disturbing message from someone or something on the other side.
He says hello from the other side
A greeting from an unsettling source every time the singer closes their eyes.
Buy me this buy me that buy me crap
Requests for material things, possibly indicating a corrupted influence.
It's getting far
The situation is escalating or becoming more intense.
What do you say when he calls your name
Reiteration of the question about how you respond to the calling of your name.
In such a peculiar way
The peculiar way in which the name is called is emphasized again.
There ain't no doubt that the mind alone
Reiteration of the idea that the mind alone can engage in risky behavior.
Can play dangerous games
Emphasis on the dangerous games the mind can play independently.
He asked for my heart and I gave it away
A repetition of giving away the heart, suggesting a recurring theme of commitment.
Ain't no turning back beware my love beware
Reiteration of the irreversible nature of the commitment; a warning to be cautious.
I call it the devil's way
Renaming the challenging path as "the devil's way" for emphasis.
What do you say when he calls your name
Repetition of the question about responding to the calling of your name.
In such a peculiar way
Reiteration of the peculiar way in which the name is called.
There ain't no doubt that the mind alone
Restating the idea that the mind alone can engage in dangerous games.
Can play dangerous games
Emphasizing the risky behavior the mind can exhibit independently.
He asked for my heart and I gave it away
Repetition of giving away the heart, highlighting the theme of commitment.
Ain't no turning back beware my love beware
Reiteration of the irreversible nature of the commitment; a continued caution.
I call it the devil's way
Final renaming of the challenging path as "the devil's way" for emphasis and closure.
