Wrestling with Inner Demons: Delain's 'Get The Devil Out Of Me'

Delain's 'Get The Devil Out Of Me' delves into the tumultuous emotions and inner conflicts that plague the human psyche. The lyrics express a profound sense of confusion and frustration, as the narrator grapples with their own feelings and actions. The repeated lines 'I don't know what to feel' and 'I don't know what to do' highlight a state of emotional turmoil and indecision. This sense of inner conflict is further emphasized by the physical sensations described, such as 'nerve in my bones' and 'nerve in my heart,' suggesting a deep, visceral struggle.

The song also explores themes of self-awareness and accountability. The narrator acknowledges their flaws and mistakes, admitting 'I'm no Jesus Christ' and 'I'm the one mistake that you love to hate.' This self-deprecating honesty reveals a complex relationship with the self and others, where the narrator is both aware of their shortcomings and resigned to the consequences. The line 'It's your destiny to get the devil out of me' suggests a sense of inevitability, as if the narrator believes that their darker impulses are an intrinsic part of who they are, and it is up to others to help them overcome these inner demons.

Furthermore, the song touches on the idea of redemption and the struggle for self-improvement. The plea 'If you think I'm hard to handle, don't give up so easily' indicates a desire for understanding and patience from others. The narrator expresses a longing to return to a better version of themselves, as seen in the line 'I just need a good example to be what I used to be.' This suggests that despite their struggles, there is hope for change and redemption, provided they receive the right support and guidance. Overall, 'Get The Devil Out Of Me' is a powerful exploration of inner conflict, self-awareness, and the quest for redemption.
