I was reading an article today where Ondrasik gives a brief glimpse of his intended meaning of this song:
"Ondrasik is also proud of the second single from the album, 'The Devil in the Wishing Well,' a musically charming story song. If you take it literally, it is about a man and a woman meeting Satan in a big black hotel. 'Think 70's piano rock meets Dante,' Ondrasik cracks. A little less literal explanation, but another one that may hold some merit, is that it is about a couple grappling with their feelings over a one-night stand."
Although, it is important for people to personalize a song as well. Interpreting lyrics on your own is often a great insight to problems, fears, or ideas and philosophies that are more prevalent in your own mind, while also offering support and solutions in relatable incidents, such as user wil555's experience.
