I feel you too
Feel those things you do
In your eyes I see a fire that burns
To free the you
That's running through
Deep inside you know
Seeds I plant will grow
And dare to come down to me
Yeah come on come on now take the chance
That's right let's dance
Snake
I am the snake
Tempting
That bite you take
Let me make your mind
Leave yourself behind
Be not afraid
I've got what you need
Hunger I will feed
One day you will see
And dare to come down to me
Yeah, come on, come on now take the chance
Ha ha come dance

One day you will see
And dare to come down to me
Yeah, come on, come on now take the chance
Yeah I feel you too

The lyrics of "Devil's Dance" by Metallica featuring San Francisco Symphony with Michael Kamen are quite cryptic but can be interpreted as a song about temptation and succumbing to it. The song presents two perspectives, the first one of someone who can see the fire burning inside the other person and plants seeds that will grow, urging them to take a chance and come down to them. The second perspective is that of a snake, tempting the other person and feeding their hunger. The lyrics suggest that in the end, the other person will give in to temptation and dance with the devil.
The song presents a classic battle between good and evil, with the fire representing the part of the person that wants to be free from their mundane life and the snake representing the temptation that ultimately consumes them. The lyrics also suggest that there is a certain inevitability to this dance, that the seeds planted will grow and that the person will eventually succumb. The song title "Devil's Dance" reinforces this idea that the dance with temptation is a dangerous one and ultimately leads to ruin.
