Devil In Me
Purple Disco Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You bring out the devil in me
Girl your loving has got me crazy
You bring out the devil in me
I sold my soul to be with you baby
My momma told me, you would break my heart
Had my daddy told me, you're the girl that I need
But all you do is bring me down to my knees
I'm a good man
But you make me bad, you make me bad, oh baby
I'm a good man
But you make me bad, you make me bad, you make me bad
You bring out the devil in me
Girl your loving has got me crazy
You bring out the devil in me
I sold my soul to be with you baby
You bring out the devil in me
Girl your loving has got me crazy
You bring out the devil in me
I sold my soul to be with you baby, baby
Take my money, leave me out in the rain
To love you, I would have to be insane
There's nothing, that I wouldn't do
I'mma need your burn, I'm a devil with you
I'm a good man
But you make me bad, oh baby
I'm a good man
But you make me bad, you make me bad
You bring out the devil in me
Girl your loving has got me crazy
You bring out the devil in me (bring out the devil in me)
I sold my soul to be with you baby
You bring out the devil in me
Girl your loving has got me crazy
You bring out the devil in me
I sold my soul to be with you baby, baby (with you baby, with you baby, baby)
At first glance, the lyrics of Purple Disco Machine's song Devil in Me may seem like a straightforward love song, but upon closer examination, it becomes clear that the song explores the idea of being drawn to someone who is bad for us. The chorus makes it clear that the person being sung to brings out the devil in the singer, who has even gone as far as to sell his soul to be with her. The lines "Take my money, leave me out in the rain/To love you, I would have to be insane" further emphasize this idea of being willing to do anything for someone even if it's not good for us.
The verse that states "My momma told me, you would break my heart/You better run boy, you better go far" suggests that the singer has been warned about this toxic relationship but is still drawn to it. Similarly, in "Had my daddy told me, you're the girl that I need/But all you do is bring me down to my knees" reinforces that even if the singer's father suggested that the woman was good for him, the singer still ends up being negatively affected by her.
Overall, Devil in Me talks about the idea of being lured into a manipulative relationship that can ultimately be harmful. The singer knows that his actions aren't aligned with who he is as a person, but he can't help but be drawn towards this woman who brings out the worst in him.
