Devils
MT-TV Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Watch it's guts pump poison into sting
Watch it reach completeness, see it fall asleep
Legs above fold in eternal dream
Oh that calls to mind a joke, an off coloring
About these fools blindfolded, drugged, and raped and left laughing
They let the devil in, he brought his pirate friends
So teeth left chattering, and tongues flexed to sting
Got dressed up in so many fancy things
Is it a waste of time, please tell me if you mind
Me dipping into useless sentimentality
A rant on how things used to be when this shit was free
I answered my own question, I can hear the crickets yawning
But in the back pocket of a discarded pair of jeans
Is a priceless ticket to the grandest opening
So when the chariot arrives, you'd best enjoy the ride
'Cause when we get to heaven's gate we're not getting inside
Better beg forgiveness
Better drop to knees
Better find your ticket
Before we join the bees
The lyrics to MT-TV's song "Devils" are creatively written, but they convey a dark and sinister message. The opening verse describes a situation where someone accidentally kills a bee and is watching it as it dies. The imagery of the bee's guts pumping poison and its legs folding in an eternal dream is a metaphor for the consequences of our actions, and how they can have lasting effects that we cannot take back.
The next verse takes a darker turn as the singer reflects on the state of the world today. The joke referred to is likely a nod to the idea of "dark humor," and the "fools" who have let the devil and his pirate friends in are a metaphor for those who have allowed negativity, violence, and destruction to run rampant. The hunger for blood, flesh, bone, and skin refers to the destructive and violent nature of these forces.
The third verse is a reflection on nostalgia and how things used to be. The singer wonders if it's a waste of time to think about the past, but ultimately concludes that it's important to remember where we came from. The reference to the "priceless ticket" in the back pocket of discarded jeans is likely a metaphor for the opportunities and experiences that we sometimes overlook or discard.
Overall, the lyrics to "Devils" are thought-provoking and encourage the listener to reflect on their own actions and the state of the world around them.
