Devil In Me
Elan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An eye. I'd like to make you some cofee in the morning, pretend
Someday I'll be a real housewife.
I'm not good at explaining myself, I just found myself as well. And
Now you know what color my heart is and whose side I'm really on.
Please lend a hand, please make a stand.
You caught me lying by the devil in me.
And I was a poet before I came to this place.
I know I hurt you, I'm sorry for giving you heart a brand new
Scar. I would really appreciate it if you could give me a brand new
Start.
This is a short road leading to the real me, you're brave if you decide
To walk it. We'll listen to John sing "Oh Yoko" and remember the places
We've been.
The lyrics to Elan's song Devil in Me express the feelings of regret and a desire for forgiveness. The singer acknowledges that they have made mistakes in their relationship with their partner, but they are willing to do it all over again in a heartbeat. It is clear that the singer sees a future with their partner, as they imagine themselves making coffee for them in the morning and living the life of a "real housewife". However, the singer seems to have a hard time explaining their feelings and actions. They allude to the fact that they have just found themselves as well, which could explain their uncertainty and confusion.
The singer then asks their partner for help and forgiveness, not wanting them to be sad. They acknowledge that they have let the "devil in me" get the best of them and that they were a poet before they came to this dark place. The singer ends the song by expressing their desire for a fresh start, hoping that their partner can give them that. They recognize that the journey to getting to know the real them is a short road, but one that requires bravery to walk.
