Lyrics

Do you take the devil's right hand

Contemplating whether to engage with the devil's right hand.

Or do you suck up to his left foot

Considering subservience or submission to the devil's left foot.

Do you do him in the darkness

Questioning whether dealings with the devil occur in secrecy.

Or do you hide him in the light

Exploring the idea of hiding the devil in plain sight, in the light.

Is it only your body

Pondering if the involvement is purely physical.

Or do you give up wholehearted

Considering whether one is giving up completely and sincerely.

Slices of your soul like cold cuts

Imagery of sacrificing parts of one's soul willingly, like cutting cold cuts.


So you thought you could stay

Reflecting on the hope to stay away from undesirable activities.

Out of the game

Desiring to avoid involvement in morally questionable actions.

Keep your hands clean

Aiming to maintain a clean record and sanity.

And your mind sane

Striving for moral purity and mental stability.

So you thought you had

Believing there is nothing to be gained from immoral pursuits.

Nothing to gain

Feeling content with the current state and having no desires.

Nothing to wish for

Expressing a lack of aspirations or wishes.

Nothing to wage

Having nothing significant to risk or wager.


Did you think you would be better

Questioning if one believed they would be morally superior to others.

Better then everybody else

Exploring the idea of superiority over others morally.

Did you think they had nothing on you

Considering if one believed they were immune to moral judgment.

Oh sweet child better think again

Warning to reconsider, suggesting a potential fallacy in such beliefs.


Do you take the devils right hand

Reiteration of the initial dilemma regarding the devil's hands and feet.

Or do you suck up to his left foot

Repeating the choice between the devil's right hand and left foot.

Do you do him in the darkness

Repeating the question about dealings with the devil in darkness.

Or do you hide him in the light

Repeating the idea of hiding the devil, but this time in the light.

Is it only your body

Reiterating the question of whether the involvement is only physical.

Or do you give up wholehearted

Repeating the consideration of giving up one's soul wholeheartedly.

Slices of your soul like cold cuts

Reiterating the vivid imagery of sacrificing parts of one's soul willingly.


Slices of your soul

Emphasizing the concept of sacrificing portions of one's soul.

Slices of your soul

Repeating the emphasis on the slices of the soul.

Slices of your soul

-

Slices of your soul

-

Slices of your soul like cold cuts

Repeating the vivid imagery of sacrificing parts of one's soul like cold cuts.
