Device Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A new beginning, a world that was frozen in time
No thought of compromise
The smell of blood, stirring emotion
So darkly devoted, I have become
They yearn for genocide
Running from their fear of the darkA new bleeding, a moment of turning the tide
A mortal enemy, fighting with eternal devotion
Becoming the nightmare they're running from
I, have fallen once before tonight
And I know my
Mistake won't be repeated
Then you'll know why
You are burning alive
You're becoming unwhole
Now you will know what it's like
To become the animal
(Become the animal)
A bloody legacy
Branded by the hunger within
A new meaning, a moment of felling the pain
A deadly tragedy, teeming with an earth of emotion
So deeply distorted, I have become
It isn't homicide, when you know they're already dead
The world bleeding, the last bit of sanity died
For what's inside of me
You will know your fear of the dark
And you now will be hunted, so flee before
I, have fallen once before tonight
And I know my
Mistake won't be repeated
Then you'll know why
You are burning alive
You're becoming unwhole
Now you will know what it's like
To become the animal
I, have fallen once before tonight
And I know my
Mistake won't be repeated
Then you'll know why
You are burning alive
You're becoming unwhole
Now you will know what it's like
To become the animal
You are burning alive
You're becoming unwhole
Now you will know what it's like
To become the animal
The lyrics to Device’s song “Hunted” are a vivid description of becoming a monster. The opening lines speak to a world in chaos, where demonic forces have aligned and a new beginning has emerged. The singer has become “darkly devoted,” suggesting they have given themselves over to their darker impulses. The mention of the smell of blood stirring emotion sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer seems to have become a force of destruction, yearning for genocide and becoming the very thing others fear. The line “becoming the nightmare they're running from” is particularly haunting, as it speaks to the idea of becoming the monster in order to fight it.
The chorus of the song speaks directly to the transformation process, with the lyrics “Now you will know what it's like to become the animal.” The verses speak to the singer’s descent into darkness, with mentions of a “bloody legacy” and a deadly tragedy. The line “It isn't homicide, when you know they're already dead” suggests a disregard for human life, a willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve the singer’s goals.
The final verse of the song speaks to the consequences of becoming a monster. The singer warns that those who have crossed them will now “be hunted,” suggesting they have brought this fate upon themselves. Throughout the song, there is a sense of inevitability, as though the transformation into a monster cannot be avoided. The lyrics are a chilling reminder of the destructive potential within each of us.
