“Tell That Devil” is about a toxic relationship which the singer has finally realized she has to get out of—a relationship from hell, as it were. She’s telling the other person she’s through being mistreated and that they can go back to whatever fiery pit they crawled out of.
Playing off the song’s...
Tell that devil to take you back, take you back, take you back
My heart went from red to black, red to black, red to black
Came up from that lake of fire, lake of fire, lake of fire
Only had that one desire, one desire
Got a mouth full of gasoline
Don't you bring your mind in me
Well I gave you all I got to give
I know that ain't no way to live
So I told that devil to take you back
I told that devil to take you back
You came around to watch me break, watch me break, watch me break
Just another soul to take, soul to take, soul to take
Sweet shot of kerosene
When I threw it back, it poisoned me
Well I gave you all I got to give
I know that ain't no way to live
So I told that devil to take you back
I told that devil to take you back
Ooooh-ooh...
You're a sweet shot of kerosene
When I threw it back, it poisoned me
Cause I gave you all I got to give
I know that ain't no way to live
So I told that devil to take you back
I told that devil to take you back
