The Devil Lyrics

Lyric discussion by JJKelsall 

Cover art for The Devil lyrics by Anna Calvi

This entire song and performance acts as a metaphor for complete loss of control; although unlike Desire, where the loss was welcomed, this time there is fear of that loss of control. We don't want to succumb to 'The Devil' but the narrator warns us that it is futile to try to fight against it.
