Outta reach in the sky
Most of you will never fly
Afraid to fail, afraid to try
But not me, I'd rather die
The trick the devil did
The trick the devil did
The trick the devil did was make me want it
Oh no! I'm fighting for my soul
I'm ready for the battle
Most things I can handle
The trick the devil did
The trick the devil did
The trick the devil did was make me want it
Long eyes, longer road
Up ahead, we're all alone
And what I want is what I'm owed
Too late to stay, too late to go
The trick the devil did
The trick the devil did
The trick the devil did was make me want it
Oh no! I'm fighting for my soul
I'm ready for the battle
Most things I can handle
Oh no! I'll never let it go
I saw my name in blood
So I'm ready for the trouble
The trick the devil did
The trick the devil did
The trick the devil did was make me want it
And I can't resist anything of temptation
Oh no! I'm fighting for my soul
I'm ready for the battle
Most things I can handle
The trick, the trick, the trick the devil did was make me want it

Omg, You're right Rose! That's so cool!! What do you think the song is about??
I think the meaning is different every verse?

Re: The Trick the Devil Did
I think it's about selling your soul. In legends you can sell your soul to the devil (or a crossroads deamon) for fame/money/whatever and the devil will let you live for ten more years, then you got to hell. I that's very metaphorical in the song, the person in the song wasn't afraid to fly so they sold their soul. In the pre chorus they're saying they don't blame the devil really they wanted it. But still forever in hell is a big price for ten years of fame or money, so they're fighting for their soul back.
The longer road in the second verse could be the time they have left, the other person they're all alone with is probably the devil, what I want is what I own is clearly talking about the soul, to late to stay, to late to go is probably about how they are in to deep.
Now that's all probably a metaphor for something like losing you identity to fame, it seems like the band is making this album all about the fans and maybe not really doing it for themselves? But that's just a theory.
I took a critical analysis class last year

Re: The Trick the Devil Did
That's a deep answer! Very interesting theory! My friend has a theory that it's a carry on from Howard's Tale and Monsters? The tunnings the same and its very dark like the two songs and the lyrical meaning could be interprated as like, he feels the devil, who abused him as a child, made him into an abuser but he wants to stop an dget back his soul?
Your course sounds fun! must be interesting to find hidden meanings and stuff like that in text!
