Devils Are All Here
Journey through Hell: Revelations of Life's Twists
Lyrics
Dear friend I’m writing to you here from the depths of hell
Expressing the sender's current state in a metaphorical hell.
I don’t know how I got here but I’m after all quite well
Despite being in a challenging situation, the sender is doing relatively well.
You just stayed at the entry and never went ahead
Addressing someone who hesitated and did not proceed into the depths of the metaphorical hell.
I’ve been drunk, confused and dull and I fell down as a dumb
Describing personal experiences of being intoxicated, confused, and mentally dull.
It’s not as bad as expected here, but I guess I’m still banjaxed
Contrasting the actual experience in hell with the sender's expectations.
I noticed I was in hell when I found out it’s not me bed
Realization of being in hell when the familiar bed is absent.
The devil is such a pretty face so different from my thoughts
Portraying the devil with an unexpected attractive appearance.
She’s dressed up in a red coat with no horns on the head
Describing the devil's appearance with a red coat and no traditional horns.
But Hell is empty, the devils are out there
Stating that hell is empty, and the devils are present outside, affecting individuals negatively.
They make us weak and lazy
Highlighting the devils' influence, making people weak and lazy.
And our memories get hazy
Describing the impact on memories, becoming unclear or hazy.
On a drifting ship that’s built to sink I struggle and I strive
Expressing struggles and efforts in a difficult situation.
But a drop of pain and a pint of plain could make you feel alive
Suggesting that experiencing pain and pleasure can make one feel alive.
Oh Jaysus how she looked good, such a deceiving fate
Reflecting on the deceptive allure of a tempting fate.
I tried, retried the one more time, but it was a bit too late
Regretting a missed opportunity due to delayed actions.
It’s a lesson that I know so well but promptly I forget
Acknowledging a familiar lesson that is easily forgotten.
Nothing could be harmless when it looks too bloody hot
Emphasizing that appearances can be misleading and dangerous.
The funny thing is that there is nothing I did wrong
Claiming innocence, suggesting no intentional wrongdoing.
Yes maybe a porter less and something would be not
Speculating that a minor change (a porter less) could alter outcomes.
‘Cause when the devil wove his web I wasn’t very sober
Recalling a moment of vulnerability when influenced by the devil.
And I didn’t realise 't was a wicked, twisted plot
Realization that the situation was a wicked and twisted plot.
But Hell is empty, the devils are out there
Reiterating that hell is empty, and the devils are present outside.
They make us weak and lazy
Highlighting the negative effects of devils, causing weakness and laziness.
And our memories get hazy
Reiterating the impact on memories, becoming unclear or hazy.
On a drifting ship that’s built to sink I struggle and I strive
Expressing ongoing struggles on a sinking ship.
But a drop of pain and a pint of plain could make you feel alive
Reiterating the idea that pain and pleasure contribute to feeling alive.
There’s an echo resounding when I’m singing aloud
Noticing an echo when singing, possibly indicating solitude or emptiness.
And there’s no one at the bar to pour me my last round
Feeling alone with no one to serve the last round at the bar.
I feel my throat is dry and a headache drives me mad
Experiencing physical discomfort, indicating a severe hangover.
This is bound to be the worst hangover that I’ll ever have
Anticipating the worst hangover ever, emphasizing the severity.
But, dear friend of mine, at the end I pay to stay
Acknowledging the cost of staying in such a challenging situation.
A drop of pain and a pint of plain could make me feel alive
Reiterating the idea that pain and pleasure contribute to feeling alive.
A drop of pain and a pint of plain now make me feel alive
Emphasizing the current state of feeling alive with pain and pleasure.
Deep in hell I’ve nothing more but I felt and feel alive
Reflecting on having nothing in hell but still feeling alive.
But Hell is empty, the devils are out there
Reiterating that hell is empty, and the devils are present outside.
They make us weak and lazy
Highlighting the negative effects of devils, causing weakness and laziness.
And our memories get hazy
Reiterating the impact on memories, becoming unclear or hazy.
On a drifting ship that’s built to sink I struggle and I strive
Expressing ongoing struggles on a sinking ship.
But a drop of pain and a pint of plain could make you feel alive
