Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
So make this demon offering
Best demon offering
Curious about the eye of death, oh
Gonna make it public
Gonna make you pay
Gonna rip your skull out
Eye of death, I know
Devilock, you rip your heart, I have 'em
Devilock, I rip your eyes out of hell
Hell is pumping something
Into lots of people
Curious about the eye of death, oh
Gonna make it public
Gonna make you pay
Gonna rip your skull out
Eyes of death, I have them
Devilock, you rip your heart, I have 'em
Devilock, I rip your heart out of hell
Oh
Devilock, I rip your heart out, I have 'em
Devilock, I pluck your eyes out, I have 'em
Devilock, I rip your heart out of hell
Go, go, go, go, go
Best demon offering
Curious about the eye of death, oh
Gonna make it public
Gonna make you pay
Gonna rip your skull out
Eye of death, I know
Devilock, you rip your heart, I have 'em
Devilock, I rip your eyes out of hell
Hell is pumping something
Into lots of people
Curious about the eye of death, oh
Gonna make it public
Gonna make you pay
Gonna rip your skull out
Eyes of death, I have them
Devilock, you rip your heart, I have 'em
Devilock, I rip your heart out of hell
Oh
Devilock, I rip your heart out, I have 'em
Devilock, I pluck your eyes out, I have 'em
Devilock, I rip your heart out of hell
Go, go, go, go, go

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
No Surprises

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Head > Heels

“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
"my haircut is better than yours"
my friend sported a devilock in 8th grade while i just wore misfits shit all the time. damn we kicked ass.
The title of this song came from the devilock hairstyle originally invented by Jerry Only in 1979. ...they need an icon with a devilock on here...:)
Actually, if you want to get all technical... Jerry originally called it "The Wave" but Glenns mother came up with the name "Devilock" and they though that was more sinister and stuck. And therefore you have this song Devilock. I couldn't possible tell you what the song means for sure though, it obviously as something to do with hell and then devil as are typical Misfit songs...
Anti-Hero, you're smarter/more mature than like 75-80% of the people ive read comments from on here, and you're probably one of the youngest...haha, nice job man!
I don't remember it being Glenn's mother. I believe it was a firned's mother. I could be wrong...
actually, from what i've heard, it was glenn's friend's mother.
I typically study songs like this to determine whether they're promoting the devil or just singing about the devil for the sake of being gritty.
The song starts out, "so make this demon offering," but doesn't really go beyond that. I think what it's singing about how the devil tricks people into falling for his games, and they'll eventually go to hell. The song capitalizes on telling the populace how evil the devil is. They are a "horror punk" band, after all.
I don't consider Misfits a satanic band by any means, and I doubt they promote satanism. And if they ever did, it was for the sake of a song and not intentional (I wouldn't listen to the song either way). I found on RYM that the album is tagged as "satanic," the only Misfits album to weild that tag. But the term "satanic" is loosely defined by people who aren't religious. I have a much more defined topic. Satanic means "promoting the devil," and not just singing about the devil. If a song talks about how evil the devil is or triesd to make a dumb horror punk song out of it, I don't really mind. If it carries lyrics about "praising black sathanas" or whatever like in an Electric Wizard song, I discount the band entirely.
Misfits writes horror songs. They write punk songs joking about the horrors of cinema and literature, and are in no way promoting it. Sure, the beginning of this song is questionable, which leads me to my interpretation.
Most of the song seems to be sung from the perspective of someone who clearly wants to massacre humanity, i.e. a demon or the devil. The song makes the devil look very bad and very untrustworthy, a trait found in Sympathy for the Devil by Rolling Stones.
So the song talks about how evil the devil is, and is not a form of promotion in anyway. it's true a lot of people confuse warnings in music with promotions, like many Alice in Chains and Black Sabbath songs. But the truth is to Misfits, and it shows in their lyrics, scary stuff is a big joke. So yes, I would listen to this album, even if I'm very heavily Christian. I just know what to look for. At the time of writing this post, it is the Sabbath, so I won't spend my time listening to it today. Doesn't seem appropriate. But it felt pretty obvious once I actually thought about it. When I think about whethert or not a song is satanic, I get drawn to study and study it until I've reached a thorough conclusion that I wholeheartedly accept. Misfits are not satanic.
