Devil's Playground
LA SCALTRA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I look out of my window, the stillness still waits outside
And love is blindness, the sweet thing you always want
And love is poison, still feel it when it's gone
When it's gone
Walking these fields of dawn
Walking this way-out shore
Crawling madness on the plain
Walking these fields of dawn
We play our game
Walking this way-out shore
This madness to tame
I look into the mirror, the heartless still hurts inside
I look into the mirror, the reckless still kills inside
And love is blindness, the sweet thing you always want
And love is poison, still feel it when it's gone
When it's gone
Walking these fields of dawn
I am heartache and pain
Walking this way-out shore
Crawling madness on the plain
Walking these fields of dawn
We play our game
Walking this way-out shore
This madness to tame
They say that someday all my play will go away
Away, away, away, away, away, away!
And love is blindness
(And love is poison)
And love is blindness
(And love is poison)
And love is blindness
(And love is poison)
And love is
Death!
The opening lines of La Scaltra's Devil's Playground describe the singer looking out of her window and reflecting on the darkness and stillness that remains outside. The repetition of these lines sets a haunting tone, hinting at the theme of isolation and introspection that runs throughout the song. The chorus features the lyrics "And love is blindness, the sweet thing you always want, and love is poison, still feel it when it's gone", which suggest a conflicted view of love. The line "the sweet thing you always want" is juxtaposed with "love is poison", which implies that love can be both desirable and dangerous. The phrase "still feel it when it's gone" adds to the complexity, suggesting that the pain of love lingers even after it's over.
The verses contrast the stillness of the opening lines with the imagery of walking through fields of dawn and way-out shores. The lines "I am heartache and pain" and "crawling madness on the plain" add a sense of unease and turmoil to the lyrics, emphasizing the song's darker themes. The chorus is repeated twice more, with the phrase "this madness to tame" adding a sense of struggle and determination.
Overall, Devil's Playground is a song that explores the conflicting emotions of love and the sense of isolation that can come with introspection. The haunting melody and dark imagery of the lyrics create a sense of unease and unease that stays with the listener long after the song has ended.
