Devil in Your Heart
Sim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la da da)

"Give me, give me, give me this one instead"
You should've left it unsaid
Act like a faker or ankle breaker
Did you really forget a prayer?
Who is the one? Who is the one? Who me?
Who confesses the enemy "I am a rookie"?
Who eats cookies in a spooky house?
This is a message to you Rudy

(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la da da)

Take me out from this rabbit hole
I'm not wanted by Interpol
Don't you miss the undertaker?
Did you really forget a prayer?
Do you know where do angels come from?
Do you wanna listen to a story of redrum?
Do you wanna, do ya, do ya wanna, am I gloomy?
This is a message to you Rudy

(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la da da)

Now I know I am going to bleed
I don't know why did I do wrong deeds
I've lost everything, nothing to squeeze
My life is like a floating feather
Life is like a floating feather

(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la)
(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la da da)
Is everything really gonna be alright?

(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la da da)

Now I know I am going to bleed
I don't know why did I do wrong deeds
I've lost everything, nothing to squeeze
My life is like a floating feather
Life is like a floating feather

(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart
(Di da la la, da la la)
I'm a devil in your heart




(Di da la la, da la la)
(Di da la la, da la la da da)

Overall Meaning

In "Devil in Your Heart," Sim portrays a sinister figure who has entered the heart of his lover. He repeats the phrase "I'm a devil in your heart" in a hypnotic and menacing tone as if reminding the song's subject of his power. The song's chorus is punctuated by a playful melody, which is jarring given the lyrics' dark subject matter. The lyrics themselves are cryptic, with Sim using rhetorical questions to communicate with someone named Rudy, whose identity is not clear. Interestingly, he also references "redrum," which is "murder" spelled backward and a reference to Stephen King's The Shining.


Sim chastises Rudy for pretending to be someone he is not and not confessing his mistakes. It's also unclear what Rudy is. Sim admonishes him to remember their prayers and to avoid any suggestion of the supernatural, such as the spooky house where one might eat cookies. Sim insists that he is real and not a fraud like Rudy, who is either a hypocrite or a sinner who has not confessed his sins. Sim then asks if everything will be alright and concludes the chorus by repeating, "I'm a devil in your heart."


"Devil in Your Heart" has a wide range of interpretations, as the lyrics themselves are vague and cryptic. Sim could be symbolic of any malevolent force, from a secret sin to a mental illness. The song's tempo and melody are playful and even catchy, burying the dark subject matter deeper within the song. Nonetheless, Sim's haunting refrain is one that sticks with listeners long after the song has ended.


Line by Line Meaning

(Di da la la, da la la) I'm a devil in your heart (Di da la la, da la la da da)
I am the darkness in your soul, the bad decisions you make, the mistakes that haunt you always


"Give me, give me, give me this one instead" You should've left it unsaid
You wanted what you wanted, but it would have been better if you had never asked at all


Act like a faker or ankle breaker Did you really forget a prayer?
You're pretending to be someone else, you're causing pain to others, and you've lost touch with your spirituality


Who is the one? Who is the one? Who me? Who confesses the enemy "I am a rookie"?
Who is to blame for the trouble we're in? Who will admit that they didn't know what they were doing?


Who eats cookies in a spooky house? This is a message to you Rudy
Why are you doing things that scare you? This is a warning to you, Rudy.


Take me out from this rabbit hole I'm not wanted by Interpol
Help me escape from this downward spiral of bad choices before I get arrested by the police.


Don't you miss the undertaker? Did you really forget a prayer?
Don't you feel remorse for the things you've done? And have you completely lost your faith?


Do you know where do angels come from? Do you wanna listen to a story of redrum?
Do you know the origins of good in this world? Do you want to hear a story of murder spelled backwards?


Do you wanna, do ya, do ya wanna, am I gloomy? This is a message to you Rudy
Do you really want to be around someone who is so dark and moody? This is a message to you, Rudy.


Now I know I am going to bleed I don't know why did I do wrong deeds I've lost everything, nothing to squeeze My life is like a floating feather Life is like a floating feather
Now I understand that there will be consequences for my actions. I regret the things I have done and I have nothing left to hold onto. I feel like I am aimlessly drifting through life.


Is everything really gonna be alright?
Despite my troubles, I still hold out hope that everything will be okay.

@IchiKatsu707

I still hope MAPPA will use this song for Part 2 or Season 2 of CSM, whether it's for OP or ED!

So far, only MAPPA is willing to contract SiM to fill the anime soundtrack..

from 2014 to 2022, SiM only filled 3 anime soundtracks and all of them were MAPPA projects.. but uniquely all three have the title Shingeki :D
- Shingeki no Bahamut : Genesis (2014) (EXiSTENCE)
- Shingeki no Bahamut : Virgin Soul (2017) (LET iT END)
- Shingeki no Kyojin The Final Season Part 2 (2022) (The Rumbling)

So if you hope that MAPPA will use SiM for CSM, we can still hope it..
