I think 'The Devil' is a metaphor for a forbidden desire. When the narrator is alone, she cannot fight this desire and it comes for her, consuming her.
In the second verse, I think the narrator has succumbed to this desire and has gone to the place where she thinks her lover will be. The fact that she 'insanely expects' for the lover to know where she is, suggests that the place isn't really of any special significance to the lover, although the narrator feels that the lover should come for them.
The narrator then howls for her lover to come, is pining desperately for him, but they never come. I think the ending of the song suggests that the lover never comes, and the narrator know feels that life is insignificant without them. They have let 'the Devil' in and have been consumed by it.
