You'll take me home
Like my family did my father did I know
You'll think real slow
But don't forget the speed that I can go away
Cause this is the end if you want it
Yeah this is the end
I've been convincing myself that I'm worthwhile
Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be
I've been convincing myself that I'm worthwhile
Cause I'm worth what I'll convince myself to be
I met the devil and I stared her in the eyes
Her hair had scales like silver serpents
I a statue, stood there mesmerized
I took the fire escape and made it out alive
Yeah I still burn from time to time but I've a healing hand against my side
Blisters on my feet I crawled back home
Frozen from the sleet burned sand and stones
Nourished back to life by life alone
With one shake of the mane regain the throne
whenever i hear this part, i get a little spooked:
"I met the devil and I stared her in the eyes
Her hair had scales like silver serpents
I a statue, stood there mesmerized
I took the fire escape and made it out alive
Yeah I still burn from time to time but I've a healing hand against my side"
i believe it's saying that the temptation of cheating was present and he resisted it. but ofcourse, one doesn't always get away unscathed.
