Paint The Devil On The Wall
Rage Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's telling me the things I should not do
You're near me
I think I better stop
Tonight I'm weary
I'm telling you I think it's nothing new
Oh,dear me
And maybe I should better get away
'Cause tonight the horror takes us all
If you paint the devil on the wall
It is here, it's waiting for your call
Don't you paint the devil on the wall
The mind has power
Don't focus it on that what causes fear
It's coming
what you think will appear
We're blind but knowing
It's sleeping in the back of our heads
Don't show it
'Cause maybe it will answer and we're dead
Then tonight the horror takes us all
If you paint the devil on the wall
It is here, it's waiting for your call
Don't you paint the devil on the wall
In here, out there
This is our evil spirit
It lies, in wait
Don't bring this vision in our lives
'Cause tonight the horror takes us all
If you paint the devil on the wall
It is here, it's waiting for your call
Don't you paint the devil on the wall
In "Paint The Devil On The Wall" by Rage, the singer is warning against the dangers of giving into fear and allowing it to control thoughts and actions. The night, with its unknown and unpredictable qualities, represents the fear that can lead to one's downfall. The singer implores the listener to resist the temptation to "paint the devil on the wall," or to give significance to their fears by manifesting them in some way, such as through art. The idea is that by focusing on fear, one invites it into their life and gives it power.
The lyrics caution that the mind has the power to create what one fears, and that by focusing too much on these negative thoughts, one can bring them into reality. The phrase "It's coming/what you think will appear" suggests that thoughts have the ability to manifest in the physical world. The singer warns that the horror that people fear will consume them if they allow it to take over their thoughts and actions. The final lines suggest that evil is present in the world, but it is better to keep it at bay and not let it rule over one's life.
Overall, "Paint The Devil On The Wall" is a warning against becoming consumed by fear and allowing it to control one's life. It urges listeners to resist the urge to give significance to their fears and to focus instead on the positive aspects of life.
Line by Line Meaning
The night is scary
The darkness is frightening
It's telling me the things I should not do
The fear is causing me to hesitate and consider my actions
You're near me
Someone or something is close by
I think I better stop
I feel like I should pause and reconsider my choices
Tonight I'm weary
I am tired and drained this evening
I'm telling you I think it's nothing new
I believe this fear is something I have experienced before
Oh,dear me
Expressing exasperation or frustration
And maybe I should better get away
Perhaps it would be wise for me to leave this situation
'Cause tonight the horror takes us all
This evening, fear will consume everyone
If you paint the devil on the wall
If you imagine the worst possible outcome
It is here, it's waiting for your call
The danger is present and ready to harm
Don't you paint the devil on the wall
Don't let your fears control you
The mind has power
Our thoughts have the ability to influence our reality
Don't focus it on that what causes fear
Try not to dwell on things that scare you
It's coming
The danger is approaching
what you think will appear
What you believe will manifest
We're blind but knowing
We lack clarity, but have an instinctual awareness of danger
It's sleeping in the back of our heads
Our fears are buried in our subconscious, waiting to be awakened
Don't show it
Don't expose yourself to unnecessary danger
'Cause maybe it will answer and we're dead
Because it might respond and lead to our demise
In here, out there
The danger exists within us and outside of us
This is our evil spirit
This is our negative, fearful energy
It lies, in wait
It is patiently waiting for an opportunity to strike
Don't bring this vision in our lives
Don't manifest this negative outcome in our reality
