[ Lyrics + Vietsub ] If I were the devil - Colby Acuff

[@Мэтью-ъ3л]

“I don’t know if he’s red and I don’t know if he’s blue.” That’s an amazing double entendres.

[@brettduet1294]

For me this was the hardest hitting line.

[@kermitthecrog7262]

This song is really sad.. it shows how bad the world is.. and how people commit atrocities that even the devil couldn’t imagine. It’s a very beautiful and powerful song.

[@evanabt8578]

It’s madness.. I wonder if this world is actual hell sometimes.

[@evanabt8578]

I know that’s not a cool thing to say.. and I also know it’s all perspectives. But still.

[@outdoorsguardscoutgamingch6093]

I love the song

[@99oildrops]

The lyrical line "My cloven hooves or horned head would be all disguised, and the best part of it all is they'd comply with their demise" is incredibly deep and chilling. People are willing to do terrible things that will destroy themselves, sometimes without thinking much about the outcome. This song is something truly special and one of my all time favorites.

I reread Revelations last night, I’ve been listening to this song for a while but it really spoke out today after listening to it again. You may not believe in God that’s okay that’s your prerogative and choice, but I believe we’ll all be judged for our crimes and atrocities and fully believe a false prophet is among us now and the Beast is controlling him I don’t know who that is but I won’t follow him. May all of you have an awesome day

[@slave2thetrafficlitefornow76]

wowsers....best lyrics I've heard in a long while. Well done indeed sir.

[@greenteambc]

One, two, three, four If I were the devil, first thing that'd I'd do Is I'd come off like I ever gave a damn about you I'd let you catch a peak of all your greatest desires And I'd watch the flames in your eyes burn like hellfire Find all the wolves in the land And I'd make them fight each other Tooth and nail and hand to hand Find all the sheep, make 'em stir up the pot 'Cause once the wolves have killed each other Sheep are what I want The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true And I don't know if he's red, and I don't know if he's blue One thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground As I place that thorny crown on my furrowed brow Well, I'd shine in all the tears of joy, yelling from the crowd I'd want to brainwash some parents and I'd have the world I'll be in every schoolhouse lecturing little boys and girls The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true And I don't know if it's me, and I don't know if it's you But one thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground Mmm Mmm For my final act, I'll tell you what'd it'd be I'd have everyone so medicated, they could never see My cloven hooves or horned head would be all disguised And the best part of it all is they'd comply with their demise The devil walks among us friends, I know this is true And I don't know if it's me, and I don't know if it's you One thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground If I were the devil and this world was mine to see Well, I'd witness all the atrocities and it'd probably frighten me So I'd run back home with a story to tell I'd tell all my demon friends that I always preferred Hell

[@max_the_mantis5173]

I love this song. I believe in the devil and hell with every fiber of my being, but I don’t know if I believe in heaven. I lived in hell for two decades, I know hell is real, and it’s right here on Earth hidden in plain sight. The devil’s not my enemy anymore though, mankind is. Because the devil would be nothing without his human archons and vampires sewing the destruction they blame him for and their victims for.

[@Hometownlegend]

The people Who say this song isn’t about Religion are the ones he’s singing about. Most Americans have become a herd of brainwashed sheep with all bark and no bite, a tragedy written by parents who can’t parent due to addiction and self motivation. So they try to see the world through a secular lense to fathom the hardship, and numb the pain with their own vices, the veracity continues and so on and so forth. If you seek God he will direct your path. I say this with love, fight the good fight. If you are struggling, any one of y’all can always hmu. I mean that. Be willing to educate yourself my friends 💯 Jesus is King 💯

[@Chris-tw5xj]

Its "this world *wouldn't* be my playground" He's saying this world so messed up the devil doesn't want to be here.

There's a man who walks beside me It is who I used to be And I wonder if she sees him And confuses him with me And I wonder who she's pinin' for On nights I'm not around Could it be the man who did the things I'm living down? I was rougher than a timber Shippin' out of Fond du Lac When I headed south at 17 Ol' sheriff on my back I never held a lover in my arms or in my gaze So I found another victim every couple days But the night I fell in love with her I made my weakness known Through the fires and the farmers diggin' dusty fields alone The jealous innuendos of the lonely hearted men Let me know what kind of country I was sleeping in Well you couldn't stay a loner On the plains before the war My neighbors had been slightin' me I had to ask what for Rumors of my wickedness had reached our little town Soon she'd heard about the boys I used to hang around We'd robbed a Great Lakes freighter Killed a couple men or more And I told her her eyes flickered like the sharp steel of a sword All the things that she'd suspected I'd expected her to fear Was the truth that drew her to me when I landed here There's a man who walks beside me He is who I used to be And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me And I wonder who she's pinin' for On nights I'm not around Could it be the man who did the things I'm living down? Well I carved a cross from live oak And a box from shortleaf pine Buried her so deep She touched the water table line I picked up what I needed And I headed south again To myself I wondered Would I find another friend There's a man who walks beside her It is who I used to be And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
