I think this song addresses the "thigh gap" culture that suggests that people who aren't Beyoncé are less worthy. I love the image of ones body being the "house you're in", which brings to mind the Biblical notion of our bodies being temples. However, in virtually the same breath, by introducing the listener to the "well-intentioned demon", we understand that the symbolism is not aligned with the Bible, and is rather undermining that train of thought by suggesting that the best part of us is that demon with good intentions.
