Devil
Anton Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was the night I slept with danger
Played with fire, got too close
I swear I thought I'd seen an angel
But then the clouds turned into smoke

(Better watch out)
Is what they said
Don't you stay away
It will be my end
(She'll eat you alive)
Oh, but I don't care
Got to feel her near, yeah

You'll never love me longer than tonight
I see no loving in your demon eyes, no
And I thank heaven I can read your mind
So pull me under the surface
Cos girl, I deserve it
Let me tell you what I wanna do

Oh oh oh oh oh
Don't wanna be careful
Drag me down to hell, girl
Oh oh oh oh oh
They tell me you're the devil
But can we dance until I know?

She's all in red down to her fingers
Her crimson lips go in the dark
And in the mist is where she lingers
She'll tear you up only because

(Better watch out)
Better stay away
She cand find you here
She can smell your fear
(She'll eat you alive)
You're the lonely dear
But a sea of treasure

And when she's loved you only for tonight
You'll se no love inside her demon eyes, no
And you'll be wishing you could read her mind, no
She'll pull me under the surface
Cos girl, I deserve it
Let me tell you what I wanna do

Oh oh oh oh oh
Don't wanna be careful
Drag me down to hell, girl
Oh oh oh oh oh
They tell me you're the devil
But can we dance until I know?

But can we dance until I know?

Oh oh oh oh oh
Don't wanna be careful
Drag me down to hell, girl
Oh oh oh oh oh
They tell me you're the devil
But can we dance until I know?

Oh oh oh oh oh
Don't wanna be careful
Drag me down to hell, girl
Oh oh oh oh oh




They tell me you're the devil
But can we dance until I know?

Overall Meaning

In Anton's song Devil, he talks about the recklessness of falling for someone that is no good for him. The first verse talks about a night of passion that Anton had with someone he knew was dangerous but couldn't resist. He describes his first impression of her as an angel, but it quickly turns into smoke, showing that she is far from what he initially thought. People warn him to stay away from her as she will eat him alive, but he doesn't care because he needs her near him.


The second verse starts by talking about the girl's appearance. She is dressed in all red, and her lips are crimson. She lingers in the mist, waiting to pounce on her next victim. Anton's mind is aware of the danger, but his heart wants to be pulled into her darkness. He knows that he will only be loved for the night, and there is no real love behind her demon eyes. Despite this knowledge, he still wants to be pulled under the surface and deserves to feel her love.


The chorus talks about Anton's desire to be consumed by her, to be dragged down to hell with her. He acknowledges that people refer to her as the devil, but he wants to dance with her until he knows her true nature.


Overall, the song is about the danger of falling for the wrong person, and how sometimes our hearts ignore the warning signs, and we end up getting hurt.


Line by Line Meaning

It was the night I slept with danger
I engaged in risky behavior that night


Played with fire, got too close
I pushed my limits and got dangerously close to danger


I swear I thought I'd seen an angel
I thought she was an angel at first


But then the clouds turned into smoke
But my perceptions of her changed as I got closer and realized who she truly was


(Better watch out) Is what they said Don't you stay away It will be my end
People warned me about her and said that being with her would lead to my downfall


(She'll eat you alive) Oh, but I don't care Got to feel her near, yeah
Despite the warnings, I couldn't resist being with her and wanted to be close to her even if it was dangerous


You'll never love me longer than tonight
I don't expect her to have any kind of long-term commitment to me


I see no loving in your demon eyes, no
I can sense that she doesn't have any real love or affection for me


And I thank heaven I can read your mind
But I am glad I have some insight into her thoughts and intentions


So pull me under the surface Cos girl, I deserve it Let me tell you what I wanna do
I want her to drag me deeper into her world and indulge in what we both want


She's all in red down to her fingers Her crimson lips go in the dark And in the mist is where she lingers She'll tear you up only because
She is a temptress and has a seductive aura around her, but she ultimately hurts people because that is who she is


(Better watch out) Better stay away She cand find you here She can smell your fear (She'll eat you alive)
Once again, people warn me about her and say that she is capable of sensing and using my weaknesses for her own gain


You're the lonely dear But a sea of treasure
I know that I am insignificant and meaningless to her, but I can't resist what she has to offer


And when she's loved you only for tonight You'll se no love inside her demon eyes, no And you'll be wishing you could read her mind, no
If I engage with her, I will only be a temporary fix and will never see any real emotions or intentions from her


Oh oh oh oh oh Don't wanna be careful Drag me down to hell, girl Oh oh oh oh oh They tell me you're the devil But can we dance until I know?
Despite the risks, I am willing to take the chance and be with her just to see what she has to offer

Gives me chills! Love it

Jose Calderon

The song is amazing, and the video it's very creative!

Kelly Rubio

Great sound! Don't loose it!

Bananorama

Some serious creative energy has gone into this, fantastic clip, just ignore any one-dimensional youtube troll comments and keep going Anton!

Tvjunkieful12

I disagree. You cant call people trolls for stating their honest opinion. And a lot of energy, without any comparison to Ewald and Fajardo, went into Mein kampf, when Hitler wrote that book too. The level of energy and creativity applied doesn`t automatically vaccinate a work of art from criticism. It is how it turns out in the end, and which impact it has, which rate it`s artistic merit - not how much energy and creativity that went into making it.

Daniel Williams

I wish I had a voice like that, nicely done
