She-Devils of the Deep
Future Bible Heroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Circling, gurgling
Cross-eyed and incontinent
Lurking, irking
Eyes are looking amorous
Fumbling, mumbling
Razor-fanged and humorless
Gracelessly they prowl the night
Seeking young meat
Like demented stalagmites
Streamed with seaweed
Stalking all the surfer boys
Tearing, pairing
Cackling in chythonian joy
Mating, mutilating
She-devils of the deep
Their shadows creep when we're asleep
She-demons from the sea
Dismember you and eat me
Look in their amphibious eyes
You'll be sorry
Everybody hypnotized
Winds up splattered everywhere
In their nauseating voice
Sighing, lying
Seeking all the surferboys
Dying, dying
The lyrics of Future Bible Heroes' song "She-Devils of the Deep" describe a group of monstrous sea creatures, referred to as "she-devils", who lurk in the depths of the ocean and prey on young surfers who venture too close to their territory. The creatures are described as large and ill-intentioned, with razor-sharp teeth and no sense of humor. They prowl the night with graceless movements, seeking their next victim. The lyrics also describe the creatures' hypnotic gaze, which leaves those who look into their eyes "sorry" and "hypnotized".
The song uses vivid imagery to showcase the danger and thrill of the ocean, painting a picture of an underwater world where terrifying creatures lurk just beneath the surface. The theme of danger is underscored by the lyrics' repeated reference to the she-devils' destructive behavior, with lines like "mating, mutilating" and "dismember you and eat me" creating a sense of violence and horror. The tone of the song is one of excitement mixed with fear, as the listener is taken on a journey into the heart of a world that is both beautiful and deadly.
