- The Devil I've Seen Lyrics[Verse 1]
Susie was sweeter than Sunday choir
'Til she met the devil one night after mass
Susie was boozin', standing beside her
Was told dark and handsome who reached for her glass
He said "my name is", she said "hello"
Work up beside him missing her clothes
Sick to her stomach in fear as she froze
Satan had stolen a piece of her soul
[Chorus]
The devil I've seen walking these streets
Back alley bullshit, filing his teeth
It's hard to know when the devil might show
Looking like in "anybody" everybody knows
You could be ridin', he's always hidin'
He's a sheepskin demon in disguises
You wouldn't guess and you couldn't believe, yeah
The devil I've seen
The devil I've seen
The devil I've seen
The devil I've seen
Mmm yeah
[Verse 2]
Now Susie is quiet and keeps to herself
Forcing a smile to get through the day
Hiding the bruises she shouldn't have felt
From every moment she carries the weight
The devil walks right over the next
Leaving you bleeding beneath of his steps
He don't love you like he says
Narcissistic sociopath, yeah
[Chorus]
The devil I've seen walking these streets
Back alley bullshit, filing his teeth
It's hard to know when the devil might show
Looking like in "anybody" everybody knows
You could be ridin', he's always hidin'
He's a sheepskin demon in disguises
You wouldn't guess and you couldn't believe, yeah
The devil I've seen
Mmm yeah
The devil I've seen
The devil I've seen
The devil I've seen
Mmm yeah
[Chorus]
The devil I've seen walking these streets
Back alley bullshit, filing his teeth
It's hard to know when the devil might show
Looking like in "anybody" everybody knows
You could be ridin', he's always hidin'
He's a sheepskin demon in disguises
You wouldn't guess and you couldn't believe, yeah
The devil I've seen
Mmm yeah
The devil I've seen
No no
The devil I've seen
The devil I've seen
Mmm no no no no
Susie was sweeter than Sunday choir

Sick to her stomach in fear as she froze
Satan had stolen a piece of her soul
[Chorus]
The devil I've seen walking these streets
Back alley bullshit, filing his teeth
It's hard to know when the devil might show
Looking like in "anybody" everybody knows
You could be ridin', he's always hidin'

Facts about The Devil I've Seen
✔️
The Devil I've Seen is written by Ben Cottrill, Cameron Whitcomb.
✔️
When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Cameron Whitcomb's song 'The Devil I've Seen' is a metaphor for a person's confrontation with toxic relationships, in the form of the devil. The devil stands for the manipulators and the abusers who inflict emotional pain, making it difficult for one to trust someone else. The words of the song depict very well the problem of coping with relationships like that and offer a glimpse of the suffering that the person's mental health will be enduring for quite some time. The devil that I have seen lyrics focus on despair, angst, heartbreak, reflection, and loneliness mostly. However, the song also illuminates the good side of temptation and danger, abuse and manipulation, and deceit. The lyrics touch upon adult matters such as the use of drugs and emotional suffering, which might not be appropriate for those under 13. The devil imagery and Suzy's choice consequences hint at the presence of some darker themes that should be handled carefully and thus parental support is recommended.
