Devil Archerist is a song performed by Bethany Joy Galeotti, Haley from One Tree Hill. For me this is one of those songs I can listen to at any time in my life and it fits with whatever I’m going through at that particular time. I don't know what this means to Joy, but for me it's about struggling against life and everything that comes with living. Whether its heart break due to a loved lost, a family member gone, or if you’re struggling against self doubt; compromising your self for a person or the whole world, instead of standing strong and being proud of who we are, with all our faults and awkwardness. I think a lot of us forget that we were made perfect within our own imperfections, or we never knew that to begin with. Everything that makes us unique is a good thing and something to be celebrated and treasured instead of locked away in a closet, hoping no one will go looking for the key that fits the lock.
Also, and probably more accurate for me currently this song could represent the struggle we go through in maintaining a thriving relationship with Christ. I’m not talking about struggling with having faith but with the communication involved in the relationship. If one half stops talking to the other then everything turns to ruble and picking up the pieces could become more of a struggle than if the communication never snapped… it isn’t impossible but it does involve a bit more effort.
Give it a listen and let me know what you think it means...
Lyrics:
This day probably tore me apart
And I didn't even know it
This day probably ate up my heart
And I got nothing to show for it
Why, why is it so, so, so easy to compromise
This fog is like strawberry pie
But it keeps you keep on reaching
Here I am just watching me die
Just uh watching death that uh coming up
Coming up creeping
Why, why don't you start
Calling me ungrateful
Oh yeah...
Keep me away
I've got no will to fight
Keep me away
I'm running to the light
Cuz I don't wanna lose your way
With these devil, devil archerist
My soul here a million to one
Says I didn't even see it
Looking up looking down at my soul
Looking everywhere but don't know
Where the help is come, coming from
Why, why do I seem broken stumbling
Everytime I can hear
Keep me away
I've got no will to fight
Keep me away
I'm running to the light
Cuz I don't wanna lose your way
With these devil, devil archerist
Come on now
Keep me away
I've got no will to fight
Keep me away
I'm running to the light
Keep me away
I've got no will to fight
Keep me away
I'm running to the light
Cuz I don't wanna lose your way
Ha, I don't wanna lose your way
No, I don't wanna lose your way
