Devil In Me
Jamie N Commons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've been raising Cain.
Cuz the path I'm on seems much the same.
But in the cold night,
I can't help but ask for more
Seems to be the pain
That I've been asking for
Take it all away
Wash me in the water, Take away this pain
(Wash me in the water) Wash me in the water
(Wash me of it all) Wash me of it all
(Wash me in the Water) Wash me in the water, before my fall.
And I've changed, Lord I've changed, the man I used to be.
I've hurt you far too much fore I could see.
But in the cold night
I'm sure I'll find a way
To drag you under
And bring you down again
So wash me in the water, Take it all away
Wash me in the water, Take away this pain
(Wash me in the water) Wash me in the water
(Wash me of it all) Wash me of it all
(Wash me in the water) Wash me in the water, Before my fall
All these days just pass me by now
Ending up the same
Lord all those days just pass me by now
Just ending up just the same
Ending always the same, ending always the same, ending always the same, and always the same
(Wash me in the water) Wash me in the water
(Wash me of it all) Take it all away
(Wash me in the water) Wash me in the water, Take this pain
(Wash me in the water) Wash me in the water
(Wash me in the water) Wash me of it all
(Wash me in the water) Wash me in the water, Before my fall
(Wash me in the water) Wash me in the water
(Wash me of it all) Take it all away
(Wash me in the water) Wash me in the water, Before I fall
(Wash me in the water) Wash me in the water
(Wash me of it all) Wash me of it all
(Wash me in the water) Wash me in the water, Before I fall
Well if I had it my way
Lord, if I had it anyway
The lyrics to Jamie N Commons's song "Devil In Me" reflect the struggles of a person who has achieved some level of success or accomplishment in their life, but is still haunted by their past mistakes and pain. The opening lines suggest that the singer is "winning" and has "made it," but has also been "raising Cain," meaning causing trouble or being rebellious. Despite the success, the path they are on seems to lead to the same pain they've experienced before. The chorus calls for a cleansing, a washing away of the pain that they seem to be seeking, but can't seem to escape. The lines "And I've changed, Lord I've changed, the man I used to be / I've hurt you far too much fore I could see" suggest that the singer has hurt others through their actions and is seeking redemption and forgiveness.
The repeated plea to "wash me in the water" is a reference to baptism, a symbol of washing away one's sins and starting anew. The water represents a source of purification and renewal for the singer, a way to rid themselves of the pain and mistakes of their past. The final lines of the song suggest a desire for control, a wish to have things their way, but the repeated refrain of "wash me in the water" suggests a recognition that they cannot do it alone.
Overall, "Devil In Me" is a song about the struggle to overcome one's own demons and mistakes, and the desire for redemption and forgiveness. The repeated call for cleansing through water represents a hope for renewal and a fresh start.

Dr. Acula
I gave my life
Ain't takin' yours
I shouldn't let you go,
I drank from the cup
But it wasn't enough
To wash the blood from my hands
I find it hard to see the light
In the kingdom I behold
I see him in the morning
I see him in the night
I see him in the morning
I see the devil in my life
In my darkest days
I still see her face
Burning pagans in my eyes
It broke my pack
Without[?] a crack
I left it all behind
I find it hard to see the light
In the kingdom I behold
I see him in the morning
I see him in the night
I see him in the morning
I see the devil in my life
All my life
On my dreams
All I had[?]
it's lost, it seems
(All my days, all my)
All my life
(All my life, all my)
All my days
(All my days, all my)
Keeps on turning
(All my life)
There's a devil in me

This song has seen me in my darkest days. At the end of my life. I always felt it was part of me, my depression, my bipolar.

+shpazhist it's like a pack of truth & lies fighting for my soul . Jesus is King he's there even when I turned my back on him time an time again . Love conquers all , we have free will to do as we please without it what's the point of life, your decisions in life is what you become no matter who you say you were or tried to be . Seek truth seek wisdom an understanding what else do you have in this world? Cars , women , gold , materials they all go an adventually don't bring joy anyway. You have more to lose than you've been told , don't always realize it until it's gone for good like your soul

+shpazhist he's got the fire in him , the truth, one love
