Blood on the Cross
Dancing with the Devil: Unraveling the Dark Tale in Rhino Bucket's 'Blood on the Cross'
Lyrics
Give the devil his due
Acknowledging or granting credit to the devil for something deserved
Feel the devil...
Sense or perceive the presence of the devil
Shattered dreams, empty streets
Broken aspirations and deserted roads, symbolizing disappointment and desolation
Running from the law man
Fleeing from the authority figure representing the law
Take a cigarette, take your last breath
Symbolic act indicating taking a moment to prepare for an inevitable end
Tonight's the night for your last stand
Implying tonight is the final opportunity to confront a situation
You hit the streets young and wild
Starting life in the streets at a young age with a rebellious nature
You're growing up a bit too soon
Growing up too quickly, losing innocence prematurely
The city lights shine in you brightly
City lights symbolize hope or allure in the midst of darkness
What makes you think that you're not a fool
Questioning self-awareness and the possibility of being naive or foolish
Give the devil his due
Reiteration of acknowledging or granting credit to the devil for something deserved
Feel the devil in you
Sensing or feeling the influence or presence of the devil within oneself
Give the devil his due
Reiteration of acknowledging or granting credit to the devil for something deserved
Maybe the devil is you
Suggesting that the devil might reside within the self
You walk away, emotional breakdown
Leaving a situation due to an emotional collapse
You feel the pressure inside your head
Feeling intense mental stress or tension
Blood on the cross drips down slowly
Imagery of blood on a cross symbolizing sacrifice or suffering
Another child is left for dead
Implying tragic consequences, possibly death, or despair
(chorus)
Refrain section of the song
Shattered dreams, empty streets
Repetition of shattered dreams and deserted streets
Running from the law man
Repeating the act of evading the law
Take a cigarette, take your last breath
Repetition of preparing for an imminent end
Tonight's the night for your last stand
Reiteration of tonight being the final opportunity to confront a situation
Give the devil his due
Reiteration of acknowledging or granting credit to the devil for something deserved
Feel the devil...devil
Sensing or feeling the influence or presence of the devil, emphasizing it
(Chorus)
