Old Devil Time
Defying Old Devil Time: A Song of Resilience and Love
Lyrics
Old devil time, I'm gonna fool you now
Expressing determination to overcome the challenges posed by time.
Old devil time, you'd like to bring me down
Acknowledging time as a potential adversary trying to bring the speaker down.
When I feel low, my lovers gather round
Describing how the speaker's loved ones support and uplift them when feeling low.
And help me rise to fight you one more time
Highlighting the collective strength of loved ones in facing and overcoming challenges posed by time.
Old devil pain, you've often pinned me down
Referring to the pain as an adversary that has brought the speaker down before.
You thought I'd cry and beg you for the end
Rejecting the idea of surrendering to pain, emphasizing resilience.
At that very time my lovers gathered round
Reiterating the support of loved ones during painful moments, enabling the speaker to rise again.
And helped me rise to fight you one more time
Emphasizing the recurring theme of rising with the help of loved ones in the face of pain.
Old devil fear, you with your icy hands
Personifying fear as an adversary with a chilling effect.
Old devil fear, you'd like to freeze me cold
Describing the desire of fear to paralyze or immobilize the speaker.
When I'm afraid, my lovers gather round
Highlighting the support of loved ones during moments of fear, enabling the speaker to confront and overcome it.
And help me rise to fight you one more time
Reiterating the resilience to fight fear with the collective strength of loved ones.
Old devil hate, I knew you long ago
Addressing hate as a familiar adversary from the past.
Before I learned the poison in your breath
Acknowledging the recognition of the destructive nature of hate.
Now when I hear your lies my lovers gather round
Describing the protective influence of loved ones when confronted with the lies of hate.
And help me rise to fight you one more time
Reaffirming the strength derived from the support of loved ones in facing and combating hate.
No storm nor fire can ever beat us down
Expressing the resilience against external challenges, symbolized by storms and fires.
No wind that blows but carries us further on
Emphasizing the idea that challenges only propel the speaker forward with the support of loved ones.
And you who fear, oh lovers gather round
Encouraging those who fear to seek support from loved ones, reinforcing the theme of collective strength.
And we will rise to sing it one more time
Promising a repeated rise against challenges through unity and singing together.
