You Devil You
Unveiling the Devil's Dilemma in Themselves' Melodic Tapestry
Lyrics
What if the devil stole your women
Contemplating the scenario where the devil takes away your significant other
Do you wait for ransome notes?
Questioning whether one would anticipate ransom demands in such a situation
Would you trust him? Could you trust him?
Exploring the trustworthiness of the devil and the ability to rely on him
Trust him like mom with a hot needle
Comparing trusting the devil to trusting a mother with a dangerous instrument (hot needle)
Or do you cut a hole in the roof?
Suggesting an alternative approach of expressing love by bringing flowers to hell
Hell and dump down armfulls of flowers
Imagery of hell with flowers and flat worms, possibly symbolizing unexpected beauty in dark places
And flat worms livening up his basement
Describing unconventional life forms in the devil's basement, continuing the theme of unexpected elements
And maybe his heart starts a-changing
Suggesting a positive change in the devil's heart as a result of the flowers
And he starts sniffing flowers
Depicting the devil experiencing a transformation and appreciating the fragrance of flowers
And he lets your girl go
Indicating that, with this change, the devil releases the captured woman
With fur coats and shit
Ending the captivity with luxury, such as fur coats
You can't make satan prey
Stating the impossibility of making Satan a prey or victim
You can't sick mom armed with hot needles
Highlighting the futility of confronting a mother armed with a dangerous tool
You can't shoot guns down the sewer
Emphasizing the ineffectiveness of shooting guns into the sewer as a solution
Or bang on the ceiling angry for god
Expressing frustration by banging on the ceiling, possibly representing anger towards a higher power
The devil is alot like you
Drawing a parallel between the devil and the individual, suggesting similarity in fears
He's scared up to it's horns of happiness
Describing the devil as fearful despite its intimidating appearance
Don't deny yourself mornings
Encouraging self-indulgence in positive moments, symbolized by mornings
Sing in the face of your enemies
Promoting defiance and courage in the face of adversaries
