I have devils on my mind
and the hour's getting late
there's nothing more to have
I'm waiting for the day
the weeks are passing by
thinking of the days
I want to burn myself again
I want to violate you
I want to hurt me again

I'm never going to waste your time again
burn your love tonight
I'm never going to waste your time again
we can touch the stars tonight

I have devils on my mind
they refuse to set me free
my followers in crime
but you're the one I fear
hiding from your eyes
thinking of your skin
I want to burn myself again
I want to violate you
I want to hurt me again

General CommentOddly, the sound of this song is very cool, in a laid-back way. There seems to be very little menace in the music itself, but at face value the lyrics seem full of menace. If the lyrics are intended to be as threatening as they seem, maybe the chilly music coupled with the words represents a guy so familiar with this sado-masochism, and with feeling used by the target of the song, that the feelings are like home to him. Like the frightening thoughts - the devils on his mind - his plans for tonight are as easy as plans to meet for coffee. You don't see a lot of this "I want to violate you" stuff from Covenant. Too bad there aren't more comments for this song, I'd love to see what other people think.

  I agree. I was really hoping some people had commented on it. I have a thought or two on it:
  
  Maybe it's about the whole male/female push/pull. The typical guy approaches his feelings for a female through his lust. The typical woman approaches her feelings through her love. So the title of the song is 'afterhours' and for whatever reason, I picture this female bartender and this gal he's *well acquainted* with. He's sitting at the bar while she's closing up. Maybe he's recalling half a dozen spats they've had where she's told him he's wasting her time and he's then hidden 'from her eyes' (at least in my opinion, that's typically how that fight tends to go down. He keeps coming back though, driven by his physical desire to 'violate' her.
  
  So he tells himself it's not going to happen again when he damn well knows it is.
  
  Meaning no disrespect to either sex. Yes, it's kind of a subjective view for me right now.
