Dancing with Mephistopheles: Unraveling Life's Ethereal Questions
Lyrics
I don't even know if i'm feeling it
The speaker is uncertain about their emotions.
But should I even care?
Questioning the importance of caring about their emotional state.
There is something that I'd rather do, 'cause
Expressing a preference for something else over the uncertainty of emotions.
I don't even know if i'm feeling it
Repetition of the theme, indicating persistent uncertainty and the desire for an alternative.
But should I even care?
-There is something that I'd rather do, 'cause
-I don't even know if i'm feeling it
-But should I even care?
-There is something that I'd rather do, 'cause
-I don't even know if i'm feeling it
-But should I even care?
-There is something that I'd rather do, 'cause
-Mephistopheles, would you carry me?
Addressing Mephistopheles, seeking assistance or guidance.
Would you please?
-You see, I can feel the heat increase right up under my feet
-Yes, I can even hear the screams
Describing a chaotic and potentially violent situation, questioning its reality.
As the gleam of light is fading, I start to wonder if this was real or just a dream
-It seems there was a stage that I was on
Reflecting on past actions of helping others despite an unfinished journey.
I helped the sick and needy
-I did a lot but wasn't done
-Didn't matter 'cause now I'm gone
-Because someone decided that they needed to pick up their gun
Describing a tragic event where the speaker is a victim of violence.
And shoot my head in front of everyone, 'cause
-I don't even know if i'm feeling it
Repetition of the theme, indicating persistent uncertainty and the desire for an alternative.
But should I even care?
-There is something that I'd rather do, 'cause
-I don't even know if i'm feeling it
-But should I even care?
-There is something that I'd rather do, 'cause
-I don't even know if i'm feeling it
-But should I even care?
-There is something that I'd rather do, 'cause
-I don't even know if i'm feeling it
-But should I even care?
-There is something that I'd rather do, 'cause
-Well I never knew that I was dancing to the devil's fiddle
Realization of dancing to a harmful influence, possibly regretful.
What a strange tune from a character I saw as brittle
Acknowledging a lack of self-awareness and misplaced priorities in helping others.
I tried to shine a light but never put myself inside the middle
-Putting others before myself to help them just a little
-But I guess that kind of talent's more appreciated here
Feeling unappreciated for selfless actions, contemplating addressing the devil.
I fear I am gonna have to scream for the devil's ears.
-Even though God saw I did good for the people on this raft
Reflecting on the speaker's good deeds and the lack of acknowledgment from God.
I didn't put a lot of effort in kissing his
-I don't even know if i'm feeling it
Repetition of uncertainty and a preference for an alternative, possibly indicating internal conflict.
But should I even care?
-There is something that I'd rather do, cause
-I don't even know if i'm feeling it
-But should I even care?
-There is something that I'd rather do, cause
-I don't even know if i'm feeling it
-But should I even care?
-There is something that I'd rather do, cause
-I don't even know if i'm feeling it
-But should I even care?
-There is something that I'd rather do
