The fully English song introduces a “devil by the window” that tempts whoever it meets. In the context of the album’s concept, the devil by the window is possibly:
1. A representation of Neverland, where the boys are tempted to “postpone their growth and linger in [its] freedom”.
2. A creature that is aware of Neverland attempts to coax the boys into entering it by dreaming.
Devil by the Window
TOMORROW X TOGETHER Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go rest your eyes
Just fall asleep, sweet dreams
You can't get off the ride
A wolf in sheep clothes, his disguise
In the na-na-na-night
You'll be hiding inside
Oh, whatcha doing?
You got some time today?
Oh, what a nuisance
Come, come, come out to play
High, so high, the crimson sky
It's way too sweet to turn down
I scream and shout, but no one's 'round
There's no way to escape it
I met the devil by the window
Traded my life
Temptation touched my tongue
Spread the wings of desire
He's whispering
"Give up, don't you put up a fight"
Said the devil by the window
"Dream on, dream on, good night!"
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Said the devil by the window
"Dream on, dream on, good night!"
Waste, waste away in the gutter with me
No, I can't tell what is fake in my reality
I see the waves, see the waves wash over me
Oh, stay, you can stay when you're tempted to leave
Oh, whatcha doing?
You got some time today?
Oh, what a nuisance
Come, come, come out to play
High, so high, the crimson sky
It's way too sweet to turn down
I scream and shout, but no one's 'round
There's no way to escape it
I met the devil by the window
Traded my life
Temptation touched my tongue
Spread the wings of desire
He's whispering
"Give up, don't you put up a fight"
Said the devil by the window
"Dream on, dream on, good night!"
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah, ah, ah-ah, ah
Said the devil by the window
"Dream on, dream on, good night!"
Devil, de-devil, devil
Devil, de-devil (oh, I met the)
Devil, de-devil, devil (oh)
Come here, come here, good night
High
High
High, I feel my body drifting into the sky
I won't come down, come down, come down, I will
I'll fly
Weightless, without a worry into the night
He said, "Dream on, dream on, dream on"
The lyrics of TOMORROW X TOGETHER's "Devil by the Window" seems to be about temptation and the lure of something seemingly sweet but dangerous. The opening lines invite the listener to rest, close their eyes, and sleep, but the chorus warns of a wolf in sheep's clothing and being trapped on a ride with no escape. The na-na-na-night suggests the darkness and danger that lurks ahead, which is further emphasized in the lines "I scream and shout, but no one's 'round." This line can be interpreted to suggest a feeling of being trapped with no one to help or save them.
The titular character of the song, the devil, appears in the second verse. He offers the singer a deal, traded for their life, and whispers to them to give up and not fight. The last lines repeat the devil's words, encouraging the singer to keep dreaming and doubt their ability to resist temptation. In the end, the song seems to suggest that giving in to temptation only leads to being trapped and manipulated by darker forces.
Overall, the lyrics of "Devil by the Window" use vivid imagery and a haunting melody to convey the themes of temptation, darkness, and manipulation. The song warns against the lure of something too sweet to turn down, encouraging listeners to stay vigilant and resist temptation.
