Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hate to say I'm just like you
Makes me feel like a fool
You see this smile fades
As soon as I close the door

I don't need you
To be in my life
If you don't believe in me
You're so fucking annoying

I hate to say I'm just like you
Makes me feel like a fool
You see this smile fades
As soon as I close the door

Angel on my shoulder
Telling me "I should let it go"
Devil on my shoulder
Telling me to "Get rid of you"

I hate to say I'm just like you
Makes me feel like a fool
I don't need you to be in my life




If you don't bะตlieve in me
You'rะต so fucking annoying

Overall Meaning

This song by Chloe Cherrie titled โ€œDevil on My Shoulderโ€ explores the inner turmoil of a young woman who is feeling inadequacies and self-doubt as she navigates through life. The lead vocalist begins by admitting that she dislikes the idea of being compared to others as it makes her feel inferior. This sentiment is a reflection of a common struggle many people encounter when they perceive themselves as being inadequate. She goes on to reveal that her smile fades whenever she is alone, likely because she feels vulnerable and afraid of potential judgment.


However, the chorus of the song appears to be the main highlight. The lead singer references an angel and a devil on her shoulder, both of which represent opposing forces influencing her decision-making process. The angel tries to convince her to let go and move on, while the devil urges her to get rid of whoever is causing her pain. This reference to โ€œangelโ€ and โ€œdevilโ€ is a metaphor for conscience and impulsive desires, respectively. It is a common internal conflict that we all face when we are stuck in a dilemma, weighing the consequences of our decisions.


In summary, the song is about self-doubt, struggle to find one's path, and moral conflict, portrayed through the metaphor of an angel and devil on the singer's shoulder.
