Evil
Suicidal Tendencies Lyrics

Evil evil evil
Repetition of the word 'evil' to emphasize the depth of the negative feeling.

You make me feel so
Blaming someone else for the feeling of evil creeping in, indicating a lack of personal responsibility.

You make me want to get
Suggesting that the desire to commit evil acts is provoked by external factors such as another person's behavior.

I tried to shield my soul from you
Attempting to protect oneself from the influence of evil, acknowledging the potential harm it might cause.

But your evil sleeped on through
Despite trying to avoid it, the presence of evil persists and infiltrates one's thoughts and emotions.

Cause you're evil
Placing the blame on someone else for their own negative thoughts and actions.

I tried to hide in thought but I always end up caught
Even when trying to distance oneself from evil, it manages to find its way back, manifesting in the form of intrusive thoughts and impulses.

Thinking about getting evil evil
The constant preoccupation with the idea of committing evil actions, hinting at a desire for violence or harm.

I don't know why I fight this feeling
Admitting to the internal struggle and confusion when it comes to the desire to commit evil acts.

When I should take it out on you
Suggesting that acting out in anger and violence towards the person who is perceived as the cause of one's emotional turmoil is a valid solution.

Delaying the suspense, destroy all innocence
Building up to the inevitable act of committing evil, destroying one's own moral compass in the process.

And my thoughts turn to evil evil
The fixation on the idea of committing evil acts intensifies as the anticipation grows.

Cooking up the hate do jour, the symptom is the cure
The idea that the solution to the negative emotions is to indulge in hateful and violent behavior, leading to further internal destruction.

And I'm gonna get evil evil
The decision to lean into the desire to commit evil acts is made, signaling a point of no return.

It's the last thing that I wanted
Acknowledging the irony of the situation, recognizing that the desire to commit evil acts goes against one's own values and morals.

But it's the first thing I should get
Convincing oneself that this is the only way to satisfy the desire to commit harm and violence.

Make mine evil locked in evil
An all-encompassing desire to fully indulge in and embrace the evil within, with no desire to turn back.

As my resistance is spent my actions get all bent
As the internal battle is lost, the desire to commit evil acts becomes stronger and manifests in behavioral changes.

And it's time to get evil evil
A realization that there is no going back and that indulging in the desire to commit evil acts is the only way forward.

My morals reach the junction
The point at which one's morals and conscience are so conflicted that a decision must be made.

Where my conscience stops its function
The internal compass that guides one's actions and decisions is no longer functioning, leaving them with no moral direction.

And I'm gonna get evil evil
The decision to embrace evil and commit violent and harmful acts is made, with no regard for the consequences.

It's the last thing I was thinking
Reflecting on the internal battle and realizing that the descent into violence and harm was not what was initially desired.

So it's thing that I'll do
Despite this realization, committing evil acts was deemed the only solution and the decision to do so is final.
