The song, according to Michael Poulson, is about the devil taking human form and walking amongst us.

This song also references the story of Beelzebub, occasionally known as the Lord of the Flies, and sometimes, in theological sources, predominantly Christian, Beelzebub is one of Satan's names. He is sometimes also alluded to as one of the seven deadly princes of Hell, representing gluttony and envy. The song is more so referring to him as satan here, not one of the seven sins, when it mentions the fall of the seven, the ancient prince of the devils, and the leader of the lords; Predominantly, he is called the lord of the underworld, hell.
