The lyrics to Skrillex's "The Devil's Den" is often interpreted as a commentary on how modern society is heavily influenced by negativity and maliciousness. The repeated chant of "the devil's den" reflects the idea that we are all living within a world that is controlled by evil forces and negative energy. The repetition of the phrase "devil" further reinforces this idea, as it is often associated with wickedness and malevolence.
The lyrics can also be interpreted as a critique of the music industry itself, which some argue has been infiltrated by dark forces and corrupt individuals. The devil's den is a metaphor for the music industry, which is often seen as a breeding ground for excess, greed, and immorality.
In summary, Skrillex's "The Devil's Den" can be seen as a warning against the pervasive influence of negative energy in modern society, as well as a critique of the dark underbelly of the music industry.

I figured out why I love dubstep or trap, whatever you wanna call it. This type of music is very mentally stimulating. It completely stops any negative thoughts because just listening to it is distracting enough. It works so perfectly with my adult ADHD and many other mental illnesses. I am thankful for this.
