Sometimes embracing your darker side can be liberating. In this empowering anthem, BANKS reclaims negative labels and transforms them into a source of strength. Rather than letting others define her, she embraces being called "the devil" and owns it completely. The recurring "ha-ha" suggests she's almost amused by these accusations. The imagery of speeding with "pedal on the gas" represents her taking control of her life and choosing to live boldly, even if others disapprove. When she mentions having "two on my shoulder" (referencing the classic angel/devil metaphor), she's openly choosing the path that feels authentic to her, rather than what others deem "nice." It's ultimately a song about self-acceptance and refusing to be limited by others' judgments. #SelfEmpowerment #ReclamingLabels #DarkPop
The Devil
Lyrics
I'm the devil and I speed with the pedal on the gas
And I think I like the fast (ha-ha)
I'm the devil, did they tell you I'm the devil?
Put your faith in another life past (ha-ha)
Someone write my new name down
Someone write my new name down (ha-ha-ha)
Someone write my new name down
Someone write my new name down (ha-ha)
Way down I go
Got a one-way ticket and the devil waiting
Call from down low
Naïve I know
Pu-pu-pu-pull me back down through the fire
Write my name down for the hire
I hear the bones in the devil retired
So someone write my new name down
'Cause I'm the
Devil
I'm the devil and I speed with the pedal on the gas
And I think I like the fast (ha-ha)
I'm the devil, did they tell you I'm the devil?
Put your faith in another life past (ha-ha)
I'm the devil and I speed with the pedal on the gas
And I think I like a fast life better now
I'm the devil, did they tell you I'm the devil?
Put your faith in another life past
Rectified, you feeding me for lying
And your voice's so good
Got two on my shoulder
One of 'em right here
Black and the white
Certified, I ain't the nice one
Pu-pu-pu-pull 'em back all the opinions
I ain't really bothered and it taste so good
And you liking me ain't something I desire
So someone write my new name down
'Cause I'm the
Devil
I'm the devil and I speed with the pedal on the gas
And I think I like the fast (ha-ha)
I'm the devil, did they tell you I'm the devil?
Put your faith in another life past (ha-ha)
I'm the devil and I speed with the pedal on the gas
And I think I like a fast life better now
I'm the devil, did they tell you I'm the devil?
Put your faith in another life past
I go
Way down
I go
Way down
'Cause I'm the devil now
I go
Way down
I go
Way down
'Cause I'm the devil now
(Another life past)
('Cause I'm the devil now)
(Like a fast life)
('Cause I'm the devil now)
