Evil and Divine
Sunbomb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

EVIL AND DIVINE"
Facing the torment and the aftermath
Throwing it all out like there's no tomorrow
So hard
We're crawling
It's all that weight crushing our soul
We're falling
From high up on our fractured throne
Deny existance
Of something suspicious digging a hole
Inside us The void can hook us too
Now you realize Evil and divine
Now you realize
The devil in disguise
Facing the storm and the afterglow
Trying to suppress the darkness all around
Oh We're crawling
It's all that weight crushing our soul
Oh We're falling
From high up in our fractured throne
Deny existance
Of something suspicious digging a hole
Deep within us Evil can hook us too
Now you realize Evil and divine
Now you realize
The devil in disguise yeah
Disguise,
Disguise Disguise,
Disguise




Benign,
You lay alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sunbomb's "Evil and Divine" are quite poignant and multifaceted. The song talks about facing torment and its aftermath, throwing everything out to start anew, crawling and falling under the weight crushing one's soul, suppressing the darkness around, denying the existence of suspicious forces digging a hole inside and coming to the realization of evil and divine. It is made clear that the devil is indeed in disguise; benign and alone, waiting to hook us too.


The song could be interpreted in many ways, but it seems to speak to the resilience and determination of the human spirit to overcome even the darkest of times. The lyrics reflect the acknowledgment of the battle with one's demons and how they can take control if not careful. The repeated mentioning of crawling and falling signifies the struggle to keep trying, no matter how difficult things might be. The darkness surrounding us and digging a hole within us could be metaphors for the negative thoughts and emotions that can slowly destroy us.


On the other hand, the acknowledgment of the divine forces within and around us suggests a glimmer of hope for redemption and salvation. It is the realization that even amidst the darkness, there is always good to be found. The song ends on a somber note with the mention of lying alone, which could signify the loneliness that often comes with the battle against inner demons.

It's good to hear Sweet to a thrashing vocal like this. Something we have only had glimpses of before. This album rips through all the way and I smell a similar even more original Stryper album like this coming. Everything Michael Sweet , love his song writing abilities.

Beni

Even The Devil Believes has "thrashy" vocals and so does his modern solo albums

Patrick H.

These old school dudes are like wine. Better with age!!!!

Martin Mayfield

I feel like hard rock/metal is having a good original music resurgence 🤟

Patrick H.

Rock "N" Metal needed this for a long time! This album hopefully will live up Rock again and create a bunch of inspiration to prove those people who say Rock is dead and or dying to prove long live Rock "N" Roll!!!!!!!! \m/.....\m/
