A third and final single When Love is Good was released while the album peaked at #73 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. Mike Chapman produced the album.

You Think You Know
Device Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't hang me, on another problem
I really don't give a fuck if you believe me
I can see that you were not the one to confide in
I cannot abide by you anymore
Can you shut, down the funky vibe and (get)
The fuck up, yeah, better believe me.You aren't heard anymore
You weren't able to silence, resorted to violence
I've seen it before
Now get your ass out the door
Won't take shit anymore
You think you know, but you're horribly blind
You think you know how this story's defined
You think you know that your heart has gone cold inside
Fine
Get off me, you don't know where I've been
I'm all fucked up, better believe me
I didn't care anymore, I opened up the device and
I gave into vice with you, little whore
God damn this, no one could believe that
I am this monster you believe in
There's nothing left anymore
You were the one who decided, our souls were divided
I've heard it before, won't take shit anymore
You think you know, but you're horribly blind
You think you know how this story's defined
You think you know that your heart has gone cold inside
Fine
You think you know, but it's all in your mind
You think you know just whose heart has gone cold this time
Mine
Well you can blame yourself
And you just might be right
For there is nothing left
Do you think its time to say goodbye?
You think you know, but you're horribly blind
You think you know how this story's defined
You think you know that your heart has gone cold inside
Fine
You think you know, but it's all in your mind
You think you know just whose fate has been signed
You think you know just whose heart has gone cold this time
Mine
The song "You Think You Know" by Device explores the theme of betrayal, hurt, and anger. The lyrics express the frustration and pain caused by someone who pretended to care but ultimately failed to be supportive. The first verse talks about the singer's inability to confide in the person they trusted and their decision to move away from the relationship because of the negativity and violence. The chorus emphasizes that the person being addressed thinks they know what's going on, but they are blind to the real emotions and consequences that are shaping events. The second verse furthers the idea of deception and disappointment. The singer is no longer interested in pretending things are okay and reveals their inner struggles of addiction and being belittled by the person they trusted. The bridge turns the tables and puts the blame back on the person who failed them. The singer questions if it's time to say goodbye, but ultimately decides that they can no longer tolerate the other person's behavior.
Overall, "You Think You Know" is a cautionary tale about people who are false friends and how they can cause significant damage. The chorus "You think you know" repeats to drive the point that no one truly understands the depth of someone's emotions and pain, and they should not assume they can easily comprehend a situation.

Do you think it's time to say goodbye?
Do you think it's time to end this?
