You consider me the young apprentice
(You think you have more life experience)
Caught between the Scylla and Charibdes
(Scylla is a giant snake and the Charibdes is a whirlpool basically he is sayings he has to choose what to do but no matter what he picks the result is still bad)
Hypnotized by you if I should linger staring at the wring around your finger
(he probably regrets giving her the engagement ring)
I have only come here seeking knowledge things they would not teach me of in college
(He probably isn't 100% devoted to his wife or she has already outlived her usefulness to him)
I can see the destiny you sold turned into a shining band of gold
(She is taking chances and for now it's working out ok)
I'll be wrapped around your finger
(she is in control and being a bit abusive)
Mephistopheles is not your name
I know what you're up to just the same
(Mephistopheles is a demon that works for Lucifer so he is basically saying you aren't the devil but you act like one)
I will listen hard to your tuition you will see it come to it's fruition
opps
(he will play along for now)
Devil and the deep blue see behind me
(it's over he will forget about it)
Vanish in the air you'll never find me
(It's useless to try to get him back)
I will turn your face to alabaster
(Her face will become white with despair)
Then you'll fond your servant is your master
(He will have the last laugh)
I think it's about him and his wife as we know he got divorced around this time
