Evil
Dove Cameron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know who to be
Mother
Is it wrong, is it right?
Be a thief in the night
Mother
I was once like you my child
Slightly insecure
Argued with my mother too
Thought I was mature
But I put my heart aside
And I used my head
Now I think it's time you learned
What dear old momma said
Don't you wanna be evil like me?
Don't you wanna be mean?
Don't you wanna make mischief your daily routine?
Well you can spend your life attending to the poor
But when you're evil doing less is doing more
Don't you wanna be ruthless and rotten and mad?
Don't you wanna be very, very good at being bad?
I have tried my whole life long to do the worst I can
Clawed my way to victory
Built my master plan
Now the time has come my dear for you to take your place
Promise me you will try to be an absolute disgrace
Don't you wanna be evil like me?
Don't you wanna be cruel?
Don't you wanna be nasty and brutal and cool?
And when you grab that wand that's when your reign begins
Who wants an evil queen without a sack of sins?
Don't you wanna be heartless and hardin' as stone?
Don't you wanna be finger licking' evil to the bone?
This is not for us to ponder
This was preordained
You and I shall rule together
Freedom soon regain
Mistress of the universe, powerful and strong
Daughter, hear me
Help me, join me
Won't you sing along?
Now we're gonna be evil it's true
Never gonna think twice
And we're gonna be spiteful
Yes, spiteful
That's nice
In just an hour or two
Our futures safe and sure
This mother, daughter act is going out on tour
If you wanna be evil and awful and free
Then you should thank your lucky star
That you were born the girl you are
The daughter of an evilicious queen
Like me!
The song "Evil Like Me" by Dove Cameron is a duet between Mal, the daughter of Maleficent, and her mother, who encourages her to embrace her dark side. The lyrics are about Mal's hesitation to fully embrace her role as a villain and the pressure she feels from her mother to live up to her expectations. The chorus of the song is an upbeat, catchy melody that encourages Mal to be evil like her mother and become a master of mischief.
The first verse sets up the dynamic between Mal and her mother, with Mal expressing uncertainty about who she should be and turning to her mother for guidance. The second verse shows Maleficent reminiscing about her own youthful insecurity and the lessons she learned about being evil. The chorus then returns, with Maleficent urging Mal to embrace her dark side and become a powerful villain like her mother. The bridge of the song brings the two characters together, with Maleficent inviting Mal to join her in ruling and singing together in harmony about their plans to be evil.
The lyrics of "Evil Like Me" offer a window into the complex relationships between parents and their children, as well as the pressure to live up to expectations, both internal and external. The song is a catchy and entertaining anthem that celebrates both individuality and the power of familial bonds, even when those bonds are forged in the fires of wickedness.
