When The Devil Speaks...

ThxSoMch's song 'When The Devil Speaks...' delves into the chaotic and self-destructive nature of a toxic relationship, blending themes of love, pain, and existential despair. The repeated lines, 'I know it ain't punk if we're not fucking until we fed up' and 'I know it ain't love if we're not blowing each other's head off,' suggest a relationship that thrives on extreme emotions and conflict. The use of 'punk' here could be a metaphor for rebellion and non-conformity, indicating that the relationship defies conventional norms and is driven by intense, often destructive, passion.

The lyrics also touch on the protagonist's internal struggles and feelings of worthlessness. Lines like 'Have you ever felt like you're a dummy on a hunt?' and 'Feel like my whole life I just been tryna find the love' reveal a deep sense of searching and dissatisfaction. The imagery of staring down the barrel of a semi-automatic gun and the mention of addiction to the taste of one's own blood highlight a flirtation with self-harm and suicidal thoughts. This dark imagery underscores the protagonist's mental anguish and the destructive cycle they find themselves in.

The chorus, with its repetitive 'ayo, ayo, ayo,' serves as a haunting refrain that echoes the cyclical nature of the protagonist's pain and turmoil. The song also addresses the protagonist's disdain for themselves, as seen in the lines 'Hate on me or leave me be, I don't care, 'Cause no one hating me more than myself that I'm aware.' This self-loathing is compounded by the feeling of being misunderstood and the need for something more profound than conventional help, as expressed in 'I don't need no counsellor, Bitch, I need your fucking prayer.' The devil speaking to the protagonist symbolizes the internal demons and mental health struggles that plague them, suggesting a deep-seated issue that goes beyond surface-level solutions.
