Sell Your Soul
Scäm Luiz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He never comes alone
He's coming out to get you
Better stay at home
You got a long way to go
There is so much you don't know
To the funky honky devil
You're no longer in control
'Cause he's funky honky evil
He's evil and deceitful
And he don't know how to rock'n'roll
They say that you're creative
Don't let them close your eyes
You get blinded by the money
Don't fall for fancy lies
You got a long way to go
There is so much you don't know
If you sell your soul
To the funky honky devil
You're no longer in contrl
'Cause he's funky honky evil
He's evil and deceitful
And he's never gonna let you go
If you sell your soul
To the funky honky devil
You're no longer in control
'Cause he's funky honky evil
He's evil and deceitful
And he don't know how to rock'n'roll
The lyrics of Scäm Luiz's song "Sell Your Soul" are cautionary and warn against the temptation to sacrifice one's integrity for the pursuit of fame and fortune. The first verse introduces a looming threat, described as the "funky honky devil," who is characterized as evil and deceitful. The song advises the listener to stay away from the devil, to keep control and not be swayed by the promises he makes. The second verse reiterates that the pursuit of money and success can blind creative people and make them forget who they truly are.
The chorus repeatedly underscores the message that once a person sells their soul to the devil, they are no longer in control and cannot escape. The devil is described as not knowing how to "rock'n'roll," which can be interpreted to mean that he is not concerned with the true spirit of art or creativity, only with his own interests. Overall, the song warns against giving in to external pressures and sacrificing one's own identity and values.
