Devils
Trills Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If the Devil comes to meet you
Along some dirty track
Be sure to take my baby
Riding on your back
For the Devil takes little babies
And buries them in the ground
So best if my little baby
Is never, ever found

For the Devil took those rivers
And drowned an Angel's wing
He broke you down now you quiver
Beneath his dirty hand
And if he finds you hiding
He will surely know
You've given him your baby
He will not let you go

If the Devil comes to meet you
Along some dirty track
Be sure to take my baby
Riding on your bike
For the Devil takes little babies
And buries them in the ground




So best if my little baby
Is never, ever found

Overall Meaning

Trills’s song “Devils” portrays the feeling of being trapped and hunted by the devil. The lyrics start with a warning that if the devil comes to meet you, take the baby with you, so that he won’t get him. The lyrics are evocative and conjure a deep sense of fear and discomfort. The devil is depicted as an ominous figure who takes pleasure in taking babies and burying them in the ground. The lyrics suggest the desperation of the singer who is willing to take any measure to protect her baby from the devil’s clutches.


The second verse of the song reveals that the devil has already taken an Angel’s wings and broken him down, and now he is coming after the singer. The lyrics suggest that the devil is all-knowing and can sense when someone is hiding. He will not rest until he has taken the baby and captured the singer. The lyrics are a metaphor for the struggles of life, where we often feel pursued by an invisible force that we cannot escape from.


“Devils” is a haunting song that touches upon the deeper emotions of being trapped and desperately searching for a way out. Trills has delivered a powerful message through the lyrics, and the melody perfectly complements the emotions evoked by the lyrics.


Line by Line Meaning

If the Devil comes to meet you
In case you come face to face with the Devil


Along some dirty track
On some shady, obscure route


Be sure to take my baby
Make sure you take my precious child with you


Riding on your back
On the back of the far-fetched hope that you can outrun the Devil


For the Devil takes little babies
Satan cruelly snatches innocent children from their families


And buries them in the ground
He hides them away in the earth, never to be seen again


So best if my little baby
It's preferable to safeguard my baby


Is never, ever found
To elude the Devil and keep my child safe from his evil


For the Devil took those rivers
Satan took over those places known for their peacefulness


And drowned an Angel's wing
Satan corrupted and ruined an innocent being's purity and goodness


He broke you down now you quiver
Satan has devastated you mentally and made you afraid


Beneath his dirty hand
Under his manipulative, malevolent influence


And if he finds you hiding
In case he discovers you trying to escape him


He will surely know
He is all-knowing and has no mercy


You've given him your baby
You have forfeited your precious child to him


He will not let you go
There's no escape from his wicked grip


Riding on your bike
Pedaling at full speed trying to outrun the Devil

Before rock was "satanic", blues were considered "satanic" and before that some classical composers. Forty years from now, a new genre will appear and claim the "satanic" position and rock will be a music for old people.
