The way I see it, the singer is warning someone about being manipulated by "the Devil" but is a little too late, as the addressee already trusts the devil.
The lines "we are so many tiny pieces, clambering hands, moulded dough" express how weak and insignificant they (humans) are in front of the devil... and they are already being manipulated (including the singer).
The devil's children (people who have fallen for the devil) will use the devil to live easy lives and escape from their own burdens (guilt, morals etc) but will ultimately pile up and become heavier...
What or who the devil is, is questionable. It could be the real devil, or an expression for human vices... or both
"the way you say her name I want mine said the same devil" suggests the devil is something of a comfort tool.... and the singer wants to be that comfort tool, as s/he won't increase the "load" of burdens.
I keep thinking of alcoholism... people who drown their sorrows in alcohol, and their family / friends who wish they would stop drinking and rely on them for solace.
