Needtobreathe's song 'Devil's Been Talkin'' captures a raw struggle with guilt, isolation, and the weight of negative self-talk. The narrator feels trapped by their own words and circumstances, describing a sense of being alone and unable to change who they are. The repeated phrase about the devil talking suggests an internal battle against lies and despair. While the song doesn't explicitly mention God or faith, it reflects a spiritual conflict and a cry for deliverance, resonating with themes of brokenness and the need for redemption.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Bag of bones and blood red cheeks
Guilty from the words I speak
Say the truth will set you free
But it won�??t for me
Cause I�??m uneasy in my skin
Hangin' on by a thread
Life it hasn�??t left me yet
But I won�??t forget
Oh, the devil�??s been talkin'
The devil�??s been talkin'
The ship is setting off to sea
But it�??s sailing without me
I can�??t help but feel I�??m on
An island born to sink
Oh, the devil�??s been talkin'
We can�??t change who we are
We are all alone
The devil�??s been talkin'
We can�??t change who we are
We are all alone
I�??m running out
Of this hole alone
These fingers bled
Down to the bone
And I can�??t move
This hell is cold
The chorus sings
This is home
Whoa
The devil�??s been talkin'
The devil's been talkin'
Whoa
The devil's been talkin'
The devil's been talkin'
I�??m running out
Of this hole alone
These fingers bled
The devil's been talkin'
I can't move
This hell is cold
The chorus sings
Bag of bones and blood red cheeks
Guilty from the words I speak
Say the truth will set you free
But it won�??t for me
Oh, the devil�??s been talkin'
