Lyrics
Black hearts of devils in the night
Reference to sinister individuals or evil forces in the darkness.
Mean streets rage me up to fight
Hostile urban environment provoking a readiness for conflict.
I’m a lover but I’ve been known quick to strike
Expressing a dual nature—being both a lover and prone to quick aggression.
You think you know me, oh, but you’re never right.
Challenging the misconception about the speaker; others fail to understand them.
Don’t need to see the Bible, liars
Rejecting the need for religious guidance from deceptive individuals.
Caught in the jaws and the flame
Caught in a perilous situation, possibly involving intense emotions or danger.
I’ve been consumed by the trials,
Overwhelmed by life's challenges and tribulations.
These wicked chains that hold my name.
Feeling constrained by negative influences represented by "wicked chains."
Creatures run and watch the world being eaten out
Observing chaos and destruction in the world, potentially reflecting inner turmoil.
And my heart feels they are under strike
Suggesting a personal sense of vulnerability or being under attack.
Looking to the virtues of the other land
Seeking positive qualities in another realm, contrasting with the harsh reality.
Take back my lust and
Reclaiming desires and passions that may have been lost or taken away.
I give my heart to the heavens
Devotion and surrendering one's heart to a higher, possibly divine, power.
I give my heart to the light, yeah, to the light.
Committing to the light, symbolizing positivity, purity, or enlightenment.
Don’t be deceived by the liars
Warning against deception from untrustworthy individuals.
Caught in the jaws and the flame
Reiteration of being ensnared in a perilous situation, emphasizing danger.
I’ve been consumed by the trials
Expressing continued struggle and being overwhelmed by life's challenges.
These wicked chains that hold my name.
Reaffirming the oppressive nature of negative influences on the speaker's identity.
