Big Blue Devil
Dancing with Devils: Unveiling the Intricate Desires in 'Big Blue Devil'
Lyrics
I'm in a steel-cold sauna
I feel like I'm in a cold, unfeeling environment.
And I really don't wanna'
I really don't want to be here.
I should be strapped in a hammock like Richard Burton
I should be relaxing like Richard Burton in "Night Of The Iguana," but I'm not.
In the Night Of The Iguana
Reference to the movie "Night Of The Iguana" and the desire for relaxation.
I'm on the jumpin' beans
I'm restless or anxious, like being on jumping beans.
I drive the big machine
I control a powerful force or machinery.
I've got a big blue devil on either side
I'm dealing with significant challenges represented by a 'big blue devil' on both sides.
And I'm always stuck in between
I'm always caught in the middle of difficult situations.
Fadin' so hard so hard
I'm fading or struggling intensely.
I need a jumpin' start
I need a fresh start or boost in life.
I've got the 'soldiers heart'
Feeling emotionally affected, possibly due to trauma or hardship.
Steppin' out, drink it down, shoot it up, blackin' out
Engaging in self-destructive behaviors like drinking and drugs.
Livin' the part
Living a role or lifestyle that might be harmful or unsustainable.
I'm on the jumpin' beans
(Repetition of line 5)
I drive the big machine
(Repetition of line 6)
I've got a big blue devil on either side
(Repetition of line 7)
And I'm always stuck in between
(Repetition of line 8)
Fadin' so hard so hard
(Repetition of line 9)
The boys and me are always merry and bright
The speaker and their companions are always cheerful and lively.
Singin', sinnin', swingin', grinnin' in the spotlight
Enjoying life, despite its challenges, in the public eye.
It's a deep intruder
A profound disturbance or unwelcome influence.
It's a demon absoluta'
A powerful, absolute demon-like force.
She's a long-lost, rode-hard, cool, tall, thin, blonde,
Describing a woman as experienced, tough, and attractive.
Standing-up-Buddha
Reference to a Buddha statue, possibly suggesting stability or enlightenment.
She's on the jumpin' beans
(Repetition of line 5, now referring to the woman)
She drives the big machine
(Repetition of line 6, now referring to the woman)
She's got a big blue devil on either side
(Repetition of line 7, now referring to the woman)
That she's always stuck in between
(Repetition of line 8, now referring to the woman)
Fadin' so hard so hard
(Repetition of line 9, now referring to the woman)
