The Devil In Lady Shoes
Amarionette Lyrics

The lyrics of Amarionette’s song “The Devil In Lady Shoes” suggest a sense of caution towards a manipulative influence. The listener is advised not to be fooled by this person despite their charm and proficiency. The opening line, “Always poised to listen but you’re missing the more than vital truth,” acknowledges the fact that the target of the manipulation is attentive, but their judgment is clouded by the deceptive nature of the manipulator. The next line, “My eyes positioned and conditioned to lead me back to you,” suggests that the listener has been conditioned to feel attracted to this person, but they are aware of the danger involved.

The chorus, “Your always the best at what you do, at what you do…if I were a fool to give in to all your lies telling my flaws,’loose your ground boy!’ I might fall down just as easily as you,” highlights the manipulator’s skills in getting what they want, and warns the listener not to be taken in by their lies. The line “if I were a fool to give in to all your lies” suggests that the listener is aware of the manipulative tactics, but also highlights the vulnerability of being fooled. The final lines, “If I’m always biding time then why do others consider it nothing at all, high signs say pass by and past times will lead me back…your always the best at what you do, at what you do” suggest that despite the listener’s attempts to distance themselves from this person, they are drawn back by the manipulator’s seductive powers.
