Them. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the cold breeze of south
Every word that he said
Was the Devils grouse
Your name nobody knew
Your eyes gives me chills
And strange, one day
All the things would change
When the moon turns bright
He goes out to sing
About some Devil in your banjo strings
Sounds like this creepy voices in the sky
The body of the Devil hanged in the night
There is no revenge, to lose your time
I dont forget this scene, of my mind
And I believe when that old man dies
I dont know why, he always keep smile
When the moon turns bright
He goes out to sing
About some Devil in your banjo strings
Sounds like this creepy voices in the sky
The body of the Devil hanged in the night
Jumping and dancing alone, throught the trees
The grandpa souls, haunts all the city
And all the people here, never be the same
Cause the song of the Devil, rings again

Line by Line Meaning
I met this old man, in your house
I encountered an elderly man while I was at your residence
In the cold breeze of south
There was a chilly wind blowing from the southern direction
Every word that he said
Each sentence that he spoke
Was the Devils grouse
Was full of complaints and negativity
Your name nobody knew
Your identity was unknown to this old man
Your eyes gives me chills
Your eyes make me feel uneasy
And strange, one day
Oddly enough, one day in the future
All the things would change
Everything will be different
When the moon turns bright
During the time when the moon is full and bright
He goes out to sing
He steps outside to sing
About some Devil in your banjo strings
He sings about a devil that resides within your banjo's strings
Sounds like this creepy voices in the sky
His singing sounds eerie and unsettling
The body of the Devil hanged in the night
The devil's body was left hanging during the night
There is no revenge, to lose your time
There is no point in seeking revenge and wasting your time
I dont forget this scene, of my mind
I vividly remember this specific scene in my memories
And I believe when that old man dies
I am convinced that when that old man passes away
I dont know why, he always keep smile
I am unsure why this old man constantly wears a grin on his face
Jumping and dancing alone, throught the trees
He leaps and dances on his own, moving through the trees
The grandpa souls, haunts all the city
The souls of the elderly haunt the entire town
And all the people here, never be the same
Everyone in this town is forever changed
Cause the song of the Devil, rings again
Because the devil's song echoes once more
