This song covers some dark topics. It’s main focus is on sexual grooming of under-age girls. The male voice in the pre-chorus tries to tempt the girl to fulfil his odd fantasies. The verses however seem to show the girl is happy to be used like this as long as she gets what she wants in return.
[Verse 1]
Evil knocking at my door
Evil making me its whore
I don’t mind if you take what's yours but give me mine
Evil wants you to know
I'm much too young to be owned
I don’t mind if you take what's yours but give me mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Hey there little girl
Come inside, I've got some sweet things
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen
[Chorus]
I don't mind decay
You are the knight that saves my day
Hey there little girl
Come inside, don't be afraid, I’ll keep you safe
[Verse 2]
I’m evil, knocking at your door
I'm evil, making you my whore
I don’t mind if you take what's yours but give me mine
[Bridge]
Hey where are you going?
I wasn't through
I'm gonna have my way with you
Hey where are you going?
I wasn't through
I'm gonna have my way with you
Hey where are you going?
I wasn't through
I'm gonna have my way with you
Hey where are you going?
I wasn't through
I'm gonna have my way with you
[Pre-Chorus]
I am like decay
I rot the ground that guides your way
[Chorus]
Hey there little girl
Come inside, I've got some sweet things
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen
How you like me now?
Did I succeed and make you proud?
Hey there little girl
Come inside, don't be afraid, I'll keep you safe
