Devil
Dancing with the Devil: Unraveling Life's Temptations
Lyrics
Hold your head high on the pedestal
Expressing a sense of self-confidence and superiority.
Trying to do good so you act like it's gonna work (it's gonna work)
Attempting to do good deeds with the belief that it will lead to positive outcomes.
Made a little fame and a little
Achieving a moderate level of fame and wealth.
Fortune worth
The value of success, despite the mistakes made in the process.
All the mistakes that you made and swept away
Acknowledging and moving past past errors.
But who am I to hold it against you?
Questioning the right to judge or blame others.
Cause darling you preach so good
Complimenting someone for their persuasive speaking skills.
You speak so nice
Emphasizing the pleasant and convincing manner of communication.
And everybody in this place is a goddamn sinner but I wanna survive
Acknowledging human flaws while expressing a desire for survival.
So I put my life in your hands
Entrusting one's life to someone else.
Cause your words they dissolve me
Highlighting the impact of persuasive words on the speaker's emotions.
Your philosophy it haunts me
Describing how a particular philosophy lingers in the speaker's mind.
If only I you that everywhere I went and everything I did
Reflecting on a wish that others understood the speaker's experiences.
I was dancing with the devil
Metaphorically expressing engagement in risky or morally questionable activities.
Watch your stocks build as the faith grows high
Associating financial success with the growth of faith.
Because the blindfold is a world full of magic and your love
Viewing the world with a metaphorical blindfold, influenced by love and magic.
And you said that you would always be my support
Believing in someone's promise to provide support.
So I just gave up, stopped right there
Choosing to give up, possibly due to broken promises.
Cause your words are promises and, you wouldn't dare
Expressing disappointment in unfulfilled promises.
So I put my life in your hands
Repeating the act of entrusting one's life to someone else.
Cause your words they dissolve me
Reiterating the emotional impact of persuasive words.
Your philosophy it haunts me
Reemphasizing the lingering effect of a particular philosophy.
If only I you that everywhere I went and everything I did
Reflecting on the desire for understanding and acknowledgment.
I was dancing with the devil
Repeating the metaphor of dancing with the devil, suggesting continued involvement in risky behavior.
So I put my life in your hands
Reiterating the act of entrusting one's life to someone else.
Cause your words they dissolve me
Reiterating the emotional impact of persuasive words.
Your philosophy it haunts me
Reemphasizing the lingering effect of a particular philosophy.
If only I you that everywhere I went and everything I did
Reflecting on the desire for understanding and acknowledgment.
I was dancing with the devil
Repeating the metaphor of dancing with the devil, suggesting continued involvement in risky behavior.
Dancing with the devil, I was dancing
Emphasizing the repeated act of dancing with the devil.
Dancing with the devil I was dancing
Continuing to highlight the repeated act of dancing with the devil.
Ooh, ohh
Expressing emotions with vocalizations (Ooh, ohh).
Ooh, ohh
Continuing to express emotions with vocalizations (Ooh, ohh).
