Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know your heart's been locked up all your life
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
All that desire's been bottled up inside
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

So won't you open up?
Let me see what's underneath
For them that you got

No I won't give up
Cause I know your mood is wrapped in the surface
I know that you're nervous

Show me you demons
I hear them screaming together
Don't let me dream it
About the devil in you

You got your freedom
This ain't no daughter, no feelin'
I've got a feelin'
About the devil in you

Yeah (uh uh uh uh uh)
Yeah (uh uh uh uh uh)
Yeah (uh uh uh uh uh)

I know that one day you gon' let down your guard
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Give me everything I wanted from the start
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh

So won't you open up?
Let me see what's underneath
For them that you got

No I won't give up
Cause I know a moon is wrapped in the surface
I know that you're nervous

Show me you demons

Don't let me dream it
About the devil in you

You got your freedom
This ain't no daughter, no feelin'

I would walk through the flames,
Live a life full of pain,
Just to dance with

Show me you demons
I hear them screaming together
Don't let me dream it
About the devil in you

You got your freedom
This ain't no daughter, no feelin'
I've got a feelin'
About the devil in you

Yeah (uh uh uh uh uh)
Yeah (uh uh uh uh uh)

Yeah (uh uh uh uh uh)

Line by Line Meaning

I know your heart's been locked up all your life
I understand that you have kept your heart closed off for the entirety of your existence

All that desire's been bottled up inside
There exists an immense quantity of desire that has been concealed inside

So won't you open up?
Would you consider revealing your true emotions?

Let me see what's underneath
Allow me to observe your innermost emotions

For them that you got
Share the feelings that you possess

No I won't give up
I refuse to concede

Cause I know your mood is wrapped in the surface
I recognize that your sentiments lie just beneath the epidermis

I know that you're nervous
It is apparent that you feel apprehensive

Show me you demons
Please expose your innermost feelings

I hear them screaming together
All of your innermost emotions are loudly competing with one another

Don't let me dream it
Do not allow me to formulate thoughts about what lies inside

About the devil in you
Concerning the malevolent personality that is part of you

You got your freedom
You have the liberty to do as you please

This ain't no daughter, no feelin'
These are not feeble sentiments or experiences

I've got a feeling
I possess a distinct impression

I would sell you my soul,
I would willingly relinquish possession of my immortal essence

Give you all that I own,
Bestow upon you everything that belongs to me

Just to dance with
Simply to partake in dancing with you

I would walk through the flames,
I would undergo grievous pain

Live a life full of pain,
To dwell in a life consumed by agony

Yeah (uh uh uh uh uh)
Yes
