Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lucifer walk with me
Lucifer inflame this heart
Lucifer embrace this soul
For I am fallen just like you

I gave in
To lifes bitter promises
Yes I gave in
But not again

Lucifer embrace my soul
I've lost everything - all I love
Lucifer we share the dark
We are brothers you and I

I gave in
To lifes bitter promises
Yes I gave in
But not again

Lucifer share this wine
Bitter and black like my love
Lucifer share my wine
One last toast before I go

I gave in
To lifes bitter promises




Yes I gave in
But not again

Overall Meaning

The song "Lucifer" by Of the Wand & the Moon is a desperate plea to the fallen angel to comfort, empower, and redeem the singer, who has hit rock bottom and lost everything. The first stanza, "Lucifer walk with me, Lucifer inflame this heart, Lucifer embrace this soul, for I am fallen just like you," expresses the singer's desire to connect with the Devil and his dark, rebellious spirit. By calling himself "fallen," the singer suggests that he has disobeyed God, been cast out of Eden, and suffered a similar fate as Lucifer, who was once an angel of light but became the embodiment of evil after his prideful rebellion. The singer may identify with Lucifer's refusal to submit to authority and his quest for autonomy and enlightenment, even if it meant being condemned to Hell.


The second and third stanzas, "I gave in to life's bitter promises, yes, I gave in, but not again. Lucifer embrace my soul, I've lost everything - all I love. Lucifer, we share the dark, we are brothers you and I," reveal the singer's regret over his past mistakes, his determination to resist further temptations, and his longing for Lucifer's spiritual kinship and empathy. The lyrics suggest that the singer has suffered from addiction, betrayal, and heartbreak, which have led to his isolation and despair. He turns to Lucifer as a kindred spirit who can empathize with his pain and offer him the strength to face his demons and hardships. The repeated refrain "I gave in to life's bitter promises, yes I gave in, but not again" can be interpreted as a vow to overcome the trials and tribulations of life and to embrace a more authentic, rebellious, and creative existence with Lucifer's guidance.
