Devil's Dance
AVIDAN Asaf & MOJOS The Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Laying on the road,
Waiting to be crushed
That is how you used to
Hunger for my touch

Dance, little devil – Dance.

Grasping to my flesh
Like hanging from a rope
That is how we used to
Give each other hope.





Dance, little devil – Dance.

Overall Meaning

In the song Devil's Dance by Asaf Avidan and The Mojos, the lyrics suggest a past relationship that involved intense passion and dependence. The first stanza portrays the singer as vulnerable, lying on the road and waiting to be crushed, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for feeling exposed and unprotected. The second line reveals that the subject of the song used to "hunger for my touch," indicating a strong desire and reliance on the singer.


The chorus then instructs the "little devil" to dance, which could be seen as a reference to the dark, carnal nature that exists within us all. This creates a contrast with the vulnerability shown in the previous stanza, suggesting that despite the risks, the two characters are drawn to each other and are willing to indulge in their desires.


The third stanza expands on the intense connection between the two, with the line "Grasping to my flesh like hanging from a rope." This paints a picture of someone clinging to the singer for dear life, in the hopes of finding some kind of stability. The last line reinforces this idea, with "That is how we used to Give each other hope," indicating that the passion they shared was a safe haven in an otherwise uncertain world.


Overall, Devil's Dance explores the idea of giving in to our primal desires and the dangerous, yet alluring connection that can arise as a result.
