The Devil Within
Digital Daggers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will keep quiet
You won't even know I'm here
You won't suspect a thing
You won't see me in the mirror
But I crept into your heart
You can't make me disappear
Til I make you
I made myself at home
In the cobwebs and the lies
I'm learning all your tricks
I can hurt you from inside
I made myself a promise
You would never see me cry
Til I make you

You'll never know what hit you
Won't see me closing in
I'm gonna make you suffer
This hell you put me in
I'm underneath your skin
The devil within
You'll never know what hit you

I will be here
When you think you're all alone
Seeping through the cracks
I'm the poison in your bones
My love is your disease
I won't let it set you free
Til I break you

You'll never know what hit you
Won't see me closing in
I'm gonna make you suffer
This hell you put me in
I'm underneath your skin
The devil within
You'll never know what hit you

I tried to be the lover to your nightmare
Look what you made of me
Now I'm a heavy burden that you can't bear
Look what you made of me
Look what you made of me
I'll make you see

You'll never know what hit you
Won't see me closing in
I'm gonna make you suffer
This hell you put me in
I'm underneath your skin
The devil within
You'll never know what hit you





The devil within
You'll never know what hit you

You won't see me reflected in mirrors


But I crept into your heart
But I've insinuated myself into your emotions


You can't make me disappear
You can't make me go away


Til I make you
Until I've accomplished what I intend to do to you


I made myself at home
I settled in and made myself comfortable


In the cobwebs and the lies
In the dark corners of your mind where you hide secrets


I'm learning all your tricks
I'm figuring out all your methods


I can hurt you from inside
I can harm you from within


I made myself a promise
I vowed to myself


You would never see me cry
You will not witness my vulnerability

Til I break you
Until I've ruined you completely

I attempted to be the solution to your problems


Look what you made of me
See what your actions have turned me into

Now I'm a problem that you cannot solve


I'll make you see
I will force you to understand


The devil within
The malevolent aspect that I represent


You'll never know what hit you
You won't realize what's happening until it's too late

The lyrics of this song are very reminiscent of Depression:
I will keep quiet
You won't even know I'm here
You won't suspect a thing
You won't see me in the mirror
But I crept into your heart
You can't make me disappear
Til I make you
Onset of depression, the person with this disease does not understand what they are feeling or why they are feeling this way.
i made myself at home
In the cobwebs and the lies
I'm learning all your tricks
I can hurt you from inside
I made a promise myself
you would never see me cry
Til I make you
The person with the disease discovers that they have depression, and tries to cure themselves, but depression will not let this fight be easy.
I will be here
When you think you're all alone
Seeping through the cracks
I'm the poison in your bones
my love is your disease
I won't let it set you free
Til I break you
Same thing as before.
I tried to be the lover to your nightmare
look what you made of me
Now I'm a heavy burden that you can't bear
look what you made of me
look what you made of me
I'll make you see
Depression becomes even more spiteful and manipulative, trying to convince you not to seek treatment
The devil within is the own depression.
