The time had now come for them to produce a follow-up to their first record, Odins Odyssey. Peejay and Sam wanted to make something more catchy and decided to add the voice of a male narrator to the track. And it worked, as Love Her At The Meat Parade, initially meant as a joke, became a modest hit in the club scene.
But the real success in Belgium began in 2000 with the release of The 6th Gate. Peejay had meanwhile been preparing his own studio and was now fully equipped to give the D-Devils project a whole new dimension. Very simple on one hand, but very catchy and compelling on the other, The 6th Gate rocketed into the charts (and remained there for more than half a year!) and was subsequently rewarded with a gold record in October 2000.
The single charted in the Netherlands and Canada as well, and became a huge hit in Denmark (top 5!). In Greece The 6th Gate went straight to the number 1 spot in the single charts and remained there for 3 weeks.
In 2001 both Judgement Day and Black Magic have already been released as singles. Both of these songs are on the D-Devils debut album Judgement Day - Dance With The Devil.
JUDGEMENT DAY
D-Devils Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Judgement day
It's judgement day
In the north, computers are takin' over the world
In the east, humans are becoming slave to their own creations
In the south, people are running for their lives
In the west, you have to choose
You can run or you can hide
You can talk or you can fight
But remember
Everything you say can and will be used against you
So shut up and dance!
When they are in the north, east, south or west
Everything you say can and will be used against you
Judgement day
North, East, South, West
Judgement day.
The song "Judgement Day" by D-Devils is a warning about the dangers of technology and our reliance on it. The lyrics suggest that we have reached a point in which computers are taking over the world and humans are becoming slaves to their own creations. In the face of this impending doom, we are left with choices: we can run or hide, we can talk or fight, but ultimately everything we say will be used against us. The lyrics serve as a call to action, imploring listeners to "shut up and dance" in the face of this threat, for there may be no other recourse.
The song seems to be commenting on the role technology plays in our lives, and the potential dangers of that relationship. It suggests that we have become so entwined with our creations that we have lost control over them, and they threaten to overpower us. The north, south, east, and west references suggest that this is a global issue, affecting all corners of the world. In essence, it is judgment day, the reckoning for our overreliance on technology.
