The song "Evil" by REYNAH portrays the artist's inner struggles with her own intense and overwhelming emotions. The opening lines describe a dark and moonless night that doesn't allow her to see anything, while she tries to hold on to something that can ground her. However, what she grasps is her own insanity - the only thing that makes sense to her. She is out of her mind and cannot escape the madness that has taken over her. The chorus suggests that the artist perceives herself as evil and fears losing control of her mind and actions. It almost feels like she has given in to her darker nature and is constantly battling with her thoughts and emotions. The second verse illustrates the inner turmoil with imagery of suffocating and exploding hearts and minds, while the artist tries to hold on to her sanity. The repeated 'Yeahs' in the bridge seem to represent the artist trying to release or purge herself of something. The song ends with the artist admitting that no matter how much she tries to escape the chaos, she will always be haunted by it.
