@yibbitta I think it probably has a couple of connotations here. One: alcohol. Devil Water is a common term for alcohol. I think the POV of the song is a guy who got drunk (confused over whether it is the ceiling or the floor) and made some regrettable decisions. He then obsesses over how it makes him look to others. What do others know? What do they think? The Devil there is the detail he might be defined by or remembered for by others. He’d like to forget it, he’d like it...

Can anyone explain the song title "Devil in the Water"...? Not really sure how it's connected to the lyrics....
