Bring Out the Devil
Black Math Lyrics

Oh
The singer is emphasizing and drawing attention to something important

Follow the leader
The singer is following someone else's lead or commands

Folding up my hands on my chest
The singer is showing a pose of restriction and self-protection

With my head down
The artist is feeling defeated or low in spirit

Yellin' for Jesus
The artist is seeking help or guidance from a higher power

When I know that I'm all by myself
The singer feels alone and unsupported despite their efforts

Oh Lord
The singer is calling out to God for help or guidance

I'm deep in the break
The artist is in a difficult situation or circumstance

With too many enemies to take
The artist has many opponents or obstacles to overcome

But when I'm thinking I can see the end
The artist believes they can overcome their problems and see the light at the end of the tunnel

I just get up and do it all again
The singer persists and keeps trying even after failure and setback

Are you starting to get the message?
The artist is asking the listener if they understand their point or situation

That I'm above all of your blessings?
The singer is rejecting the help or support given by others

I'm too strong to be defeated
The singer is confident in their strength and resilience

(Yeah)
An interjection expressing agreement or emphasis

I got power I've been repressing
The artist has hidden or suppressed strength and ability

So keep pushing me
The artist is challenging the listener to test their limits and see what they are capable of

Til you bring out the devil
The singer is willing to unleash their most destructive and aggressive nature

Father
The singer is addressing God as a figure of authority and guidance

I've got a confession
The artist has a secret or wrongdoing they want to reveal

I wanna break outta this place
The artist desires to escape their current situation or environment

While everyone is shooting for heaven
The artist sees everyone else striving for a higher purpose or goal

I've been planning on storming the gates
The singer wants to take aggressive action and break through barriers

Oh, I can't walk a straight line
The artist is admitting their flaws and shortcomings

And my blood has been turning to wine
The singer is indulging in vice or addiction

Hell, you put seven sins down
The singer acknowledges the existence of sin and wrongdoing

I just make it an even eight
The singer is jokingly adding another sin to the list

Good lord have I lost my reason
The artist is admitting to losing their rationality or sanity

Am I covering my eyes?
The artist is unsure if they are hiding from reality or the truth

No
An emphatic denial

One breath
The singer is taking a deep breath to center themselves

I spread my fingers
The artist is releasing tension and relaxing their hands

Get flooded from the outside
The artist is overwhelmed by external forces or stressors

Nothing's stopping the pain now
The artist is feeling intense emotional or physical pain with little hope of relief

But no-one's gripping on my chains
The singer is free and uncontrolled by others

One foot before the other
The artist is taking small steps forward, one at a time

Feel the heartbeat in my veins
The singer is feeling alive and connected to their own pulse

Keep pushing me
The singer is urging the listener to test their limits and provoke a response

Yeah keep pushing
An emphatic repetition of the previous statement

Til you bring out the devil
The artist is daring the listener to unleash their most destructive and aggressive nature

Keep pushing me
The artist is daring the listener to provoke a response

Til you bring out the devil
The singer is daring the listener to unleash their most destructive and aggressive nature
