Devil's Eye
Grenouer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One word inhaled assumes a mask
Mixture control
Menial tasks
Treatable items
Proof reaching intakes
Construction mistakes
Race separation
Unformalized spawn
Vague recollection
Obscured and forlorn
Straight hark back
Flank attack
Returnable stack from the back

Devil's eye
Get to believe it

Huge shreds of leather are somewhere behind
Sink to a whisper
Maintain or deny
Opposite poles can take reverse sides
To revise
Caught and beholden to safeguard obexes
Popular tests of diminished reflexes
Slices of times
Specification
Unprecedented oblation

Sheaf of sparks
Even strokes
Concrete bodies
Beaming marks
Punching pokes
Model moments

Devil's eye
Get to believe it

No reflections to remind
No reward for human kind
Closed society's ugly heads
Valid varieties
Changing moralities
Corporeal physics instead





Devil's eye
Get to obey it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Grenouer's "Devil's Eye" describe a world controlled by an oppressive force. The first stanza talks about how people are forced to wear a mask and perform menial tasks. The words "mixture control" suggest that they are being controlled like chemicals in a laboratory. The second stanza speaks of the consequences of disobedience and the punishment for those who step out of line. The "devil's eye" is watching and those who do not believe in its power will be punished.


The lyrics suggest a certain level of unrest as well, such as "race separation" and "unformalized spawn". The imagery used in the song is haunting and creates a feeling of being trapped. The repetition of the chorus, "devil's eye, get to believe it" and "devil's eye, get to obey it" emphasize the idea of being forced to conform to a system that is ultimately toxic and corrupt.
