Evil
mr.evil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drugs and prostitution, 'cause the people gotta eat
Take a look inside you, your thoughts of death and lust
Incestral beating rapists hidden in the closet's dust
Where's the evil?
Find the evil
Burn it to the ground
Where's the evil?
Inside your church and town
Holy priest, no Catholic saint
Deep inside him sin's dark taint
Virgin child commits a sin
Screws the priest, she's clean again
Sing a hymn, God's love abounds
Pass the collection plate around
Gave your wealth to save your souls
Preacher's profit there it goes
Seek the evil
Find the evil
Burn it to the ground
Where's the evil?
There's the evil
Inside your church and town
So bring about your witch hunt
Scapegoat me 'til you're clean
Your crusade's so damn righteous
And I'm so fucking mean
Seek the evil
Find the evil
Burn it to the ground
Where's the evil?
There's the evil
Inside your church and town
Aaaaaahhhhhhhh
Seek the evil
Find the evil
Burn it to the ground
Where's the evil?
There's the evil
Inside your church and town
The lyrics of Mr.Evil's song "Evil" talk about the consequences of getting what one wants. The opening lines use imagery to show that while a fire might be comforting in the cold, it can be destructive when reflected on the snow. Similarly, the zenith (highest point) might be desirable, but it can also consume and freeze. The lyrics ask if this is what the person wanted, and repeats the question throughout the song.
The second half of the lyrics mention darkness in someone's eyes that reflects the clear blue sky. The twilight (a time of day between day and night) burns and compels, yet the person is asked if this is what they wanted. The lyrics don't specify who the "you" is that the song addresses, leaving room for interpretation.
Overall, the lyrics seem to suggest that wanting something and getting it might not always be positive, and that one should consider the consequences before desiring something too strongly.

There is a fire reflecting in the snow
We are in a cold environment where a fire is reflecting off the snow
Cold days cut thru us like the wind that blows
The weather is very cold and harsh, making it difficult for us to move around
The frost is spreading, I can barely breathe
The cold is so intense that it's affecting our ability to breathe properly
The Zenith consumes us, frozen tundra sheath
We are in a remote and inhospitable place where the cold is all-encompassing
Isn’t this what you wanted?
A rhetorical question aimed at whoever or whatever has brought us to this desolate place
There is a darkness deep within your eyes
The singer notices that someone else with them has a dark, sinister energy about them
They scream the clear blue colors of the sky
The other person's eyes are vibrant blue, but they seem to be expressing a dark emotion
The twilight burns us, reflecting in the snow
Even the fading light is causing us pain and discomfort in this cold place
Let it compel you, embrace the Zenith glow
The artist is encouraging the other person to embrace the difficult situation and accept it as their new reality
Didn’t you, didn’t you?
A repetition of the earlier rhetorical questions
Didn’t you?
A final rhetorical question asking again if this is really what the other person wanted
Isn’t this what you wanted?
A question reflecting on whether we wanted this difficult, uncomfortable situation for ourselves
Isn’t this what you wanted?
A repeat of the earlier line, once again addressing whoever or whatever brought us to this place
Isn’t this what you wanted?
One more repetition of the same question, emphasizing the sense of disappointment and frustration that we feel

I was told that long ago by my mother when I first watched this flick and scene.
Thank goodness, that Persian cat didn't really lose all its fur. It was later a cat that was already hairless.
A way to skin a cat but without really skinning it.
And here's a joke from a book of Garfield comics.
Q: Is there more than one way to skin a cat?
A: I have just given your name to the authorities.
😆

most people never really realized the fur cat and the furless cat are actually two different cats.
Den the man
To those people I’d like to quote Fembot Vanessa: “No shit, Sherlock.”
