Devics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
he keeps me down where i belong
well i'm not waiting anymore
i'm in your room and you're ignoring me again
i know that now we're alone and i should probably
do something about it
and i know anger makes you grow but i
sadness is mine
and i know anger makes you grow but i
sadness is mine
The song "Spooky" by Devics is about a person who has been waiting and relying on someone but ends up feeling neglected. The singer in the song is all alone, feeling vulnerable, and frustrated because the person they were waiting for is not coming. The person they waited on has kept them down, not allowing them to grow or pursue their dreams. However, the singer chooses to take control of the situation and decides not to wait anymore. The singer decides to confront the person who has been ignoring them in their room, but they are hesitant to do so. They know that this confrontation will cause anger but is necessary for them to move on.
The lyrics are deeper and mysterious, evoking feelings of abandonment, loneliness, and determination. The line "anger makes you grow, but sadness is mine" suggests that the singer is aware of the consequences of their actions. While anger might help one grow, they choose instead to let their sadness help them break free from their current situation.
Overall, "Spooky" is not just a song but an emotional journey that showcases the complexities of human relationships. The lyrics offer a glimpse into the mind of the singer as they take charge of their life and move forward.
