Devil In Your Eyes

“Devil in Your Eyes” is raw, vulnerable anthem regarding emotional scapegoating and the quiet violence of being someone’s designated villain. The song follows the role of being forced into the role of the “devil” so another person can preserve their own self-image, an “angel in their mind.” The lyrics expose a person who thrives on manipulation, denial, and delusion. Their beauty, their confidence, their sense of righteousness all come at someone else’s expense. The other person becomes the emotional dumping ground: absorbing blame, pain, and chaos so the other person never has to face themselves. Lyrics: Bet you're feeling enthusiastic, absolutely wonderful Could care less who's in a casket As long as you feel beautiful Does it, make you feel happy, make you feel wonderful like your on cloud nine Or does it help with your misery, the lies and the trickery oh, how you can everybody else but you can’t fool yourself Ill be the devil in your eyes, so you can be the angel in your mind Ill be the blame for your mistakes, so you can catch a break ill go mad so you can stay sane Ill be sad so you can feel no pain Ill be the hurt in your heart, so you can play your part the victim, the one who does no wrong Ill be the devil in your eyes, so you can be the angel in your mind Does it make you feel like a queen, being spiteful and mean or does it help with your loneliness, the lack of holiness Oh, how you can be so twisted pretending your children never existed Does it help you escape, making stories, these obsessive worries or does it help you carry on, do you just have trouble getting along or is this from the disorder, maybe the fact that you’re a hoarder Oh, Causing drama, does it help with your so called trauma What else can it be? What can set you free? Ill be the devil in your eyes, so you can be the angel in your mind Ill be the blame for your mistakes, so you can have a break ill go mad so you can stay sane Ill be sad so you can project your pain Ill be the hurt in your heart, so you can play your part the victim, the one who does no wrong Ill be the devil in your eyes, so you can be the angel in your mind oh i’ll be the devil in your eyes, devil in your eyes so you can be the angel, the angel in your mind
