I remember seeing an interview with Rob Flynn when he mentioned this song and to him how it's lke a Romeo and Juliet style story. A guy wants to die and his girlfriend helps him to commit suicide (1st half of the song is written from the point of view of this guy) and then in the last verse we see from the girlfriend's point of view, how she feels incredible guilt and kills herself also. |

| DevilDriver – Just Run Lyrics

Yeah, pretty much what Joker27 said... how you can only rely upon yourself to deal with the troubles in your life, how you shouldn't 'run with the pack'. There's a monster (reference to personal demons, etc?) on your side (where you are in life), so only you can get yourself to the 'other' side where the grass is greener (you have to sort your own life out basically).
I think this is kind of a recurring theme in Dez's lyrics... He writes inspirational stuff which really helps listeners through shit in their lives, I think that's what Devildriver's about after all. |

| DevilDriver – Sin & Sacrifice Lyrics

It seems to me it's about having succumbed to temptation and commited 'sin' - 'Tempting me, tempting you, tempting us in all we do'. Obviously what the 'sin' is isn't specified and is meant to be interpreted personally by the listener. The song talks about the 'sacrifices' made because of this... 'Regrets, night sweats, occasional thoughts of suicide' etc. The chorus refers to how you don't think of the consequences when you're commit the crime, as it were. Such a powerful song, Dez's vocals are amazing, so raw. |
