Sent By The Devil
Rage Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Spirits coming from the mind,
Waking up my deepest horrors,
Capture my thoughts, make me blind.

Weird, 'cause I don't want to see
The abyss of my possibilities.

Scared I can't look away.

It has come to my side.
Sister demon, my bride.

I want you, I need you
And I have set you free.
You're always right behind me,
I know the devil's sent you to me.
You want me, you need me,
Now that I've set you free.
Look always right behind you,
You know the devil's sent me to you.

What has started as a longing
Almost is possession now,
It drives me again and again.
Put a light into your window,
Maybe I can find a hold.
I run against myself 'till I find the end.

Sent by the devil

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sent by the Devil" by Rage talk about the internal struggles of a person and their obsession with their dark side. The song starts with the idea of spirits coming from the mind and waking up the deepest horrors of the singer. The internal struggle is so intense that it captures their thoughts and makes them blind to any other possibility. The line "Weird, 'cause I don't want to see the abyss of my possibilities" portrays the feeling of fear that one experiences when they come face to face with their inner demon. Despite wanting to turn away, the fear is too strong to ignore.

The next verse is the culmination of the struggle as the singer personifies their dark side as Sister Demon, their bride. The obsession with the dark side is so intense that they want and need it. The singer acknowledges that they have set the demon free and that it is always right behind them. The devil has sent the demon to the singer, and the obsession is now out of their control. The chorus repeats the same feelings but from the demon's point of view, suggesting that the singer's obsession may have been mutual all along. The lyrics suggest the idea that sometimes it's not an external force that affects us but our own inner demons.

The song also hints at the idea of addiction, where the person is consumed by their obsession, and they feel they have no way out. The lyrics "It drives me again and again" depict the addiction that drives a person to keep following their obsessions. The chorus reinforces this idea by stating that both the person and the devil need each other and are stuck in a cycle of self-destructive behaviour.
