Devil is Fine lyrics

歌词很震撼,悲伤但是不绝望。引用一位网友对这首歌的诠释:
The song’s narrative is that of older slaves advising a child, most likely taken away from his parents, away from those who usually guide and comfort him overwhelmed by pain and confusion. The chain yanking throughout the song represents the necessity to move on and work. The child would like to stop and cry because it doesn’t like any of what is going on, but the chain is yanking, it needs to keep on moving. There is however advice from elders in the chain line. The advice is functional, defeatist and stern: there’s nothing in our worldly or natural powers we can do about our faith, but the devil is our supernatural ally: when you’re feeling angry, vengeful or rebellious, don’t be scared of his malevolence, turn to him and he will empower you.

Devil is Fine Lyrics
Little one gotta heed my warning
Devil is kind
He come in early morning
Devil is fine
He go by many names
Devil is kind
We gonna go home to the flames
Devil is fine
He gon' forgive my sin
Devil is kind
He promise many things
Devil is fine
I can't do him no wrong
Devil is kind
I see him before long
Devil is fine
Nobody gonna show you the way now
Nobody gonna hold your hand no
Nobody gonna show you the way now
Devil is fine
Nobody gonna show you the way now
Nobody gonna hold your hand no
Nobody gonna lead you the way now
The Devil is fine
The Devil is fine
The Devil is fine
Little one better find your way now
Devil is fine
Little one better find your way out
Devil is kind
Little one better run for your life
Devil is fine
Little one where you going with that knife?
Devil is kind
Nobody gonna show you the way now
Nobody gonna hold your hand no
Nobody gonna lead you away now
Devil is fine
Nobody gonna let you go no
Nobody gonna hold your hand no
Nobody gonna lead you away now
The Devil is fine
The Devil is fine
The Devil is fine
Little one better find your way now
Devil is fine
Little one better find your way out
Devil is kind
Little one better run for your life
Devil is fine
Little one where you going with that knife?
Devil is kind
Little one gotta heed my warning
Devil is kind
He come in early morning
Devil is fine
