Hopeless Fountain Kingdom

Devil in Me

Lyrics-
You said I would've hit the ceiling

You said I

You said I should eat my feelings

Head held high

I won't take anyone down if I crawl tonight

But I still let everyone down when I change in size

And I went tumbling down tryna reach your high

But I scream too loud if I speak my mind

I don't wanna wake it up

I don't wanna wake it up

I don't wanna wake it up

The devil in me

I don't wanna wake it up

I don't wanna wake it up

I don't wanna wake it up

The devil in me

Gotta wake up, gotta wake up

Gotta wake up, gotta wake up

Gotta wake up, come back to life

Gotta wake up, gotta wake up

Gotta wake up, gotta wake up

Gotta wake up, come back to life

You said I'm too much to handle

You said I

Shine too bright, I burnt the candle

Flew too high

I won't take anyone down if I crawl tonight

But I still let everyone down when I change in size

And I went tumbling down tryna reach your high

But I scream too loud if I speak my mind

I don't wanna wake it up

I don't wanna wake it up

I don't wanna wake it up

The devil in me

I don't wanna wake it up

I don't wanna wake it up

I don't wanna wake it up

The devil in me

Gotta wake up, gotta wake up

Gotta wake up, gotta wake up

Gotta wake up, come back to life

Gotta wake up, gotta wake up

Gotta wake up, gotta wake up

Gotta wake up, come back to life

Now I gotta wake it up

Now I gotta wake it up

Now I gotta wake it up

The devil in me

Now I gotta wake it up

Now I gotta wake it up

Now I gotta wake it up

The devil in me

Gotta wake up, gotta wake up

Gotta wake up, gotta wake up

Gotta wake up, come back to life

Gotta wake up, gotta wake up

Gotta wake up, gotta wake up

Gotta wake up, come back to life

Meaning-
"Devil In Me" is dark themed track talking about the demons that live deep inside everyone and the internal turmoil everyone faces in their life. The song marks the first collaboration between Australian singer-songwriter, Sia and Halsey. Halsey said via Twitter that Sia was able to bring a wailing sound to the song which she loved.

The song seems to hint at Halsey's previous works including, Hold Me Down and Control from her debut album, Badlands where she also talks about her demons.
