Devil With A Bottle

A TALE OF TEMPTATION AND LOYALTY

“Devil With A Bottle” is a journey into the intoxicating bond between man and his vices. It’s a story of surrender, where solace is found in the embrace of the bottle—a love both loyal and destructive. The lyrics paint a raw picture of temptation and the choices we make when life’s burdens grow heavy, leaving listeners to ponder their own struggles and solace.

THE GRITTY BLUES THAT BRING IT TO LIFE

Musically, “Devil With A Bottle” is steeped in blues rock, blending driving basslines, electrifying guitar riffs, and a stomping rhythm that echoes the song’s restless spirit. Django McLear’s gravelly vocals bring the narrative to life, dripping with angst and vulnerability. The track builds in intensity, mirroring the push and pull of addiction and defiance, making it an anthem for the unapologetically human.

A RELATABLE STRUGGLE

While the song tells its story through vivid, gritty imagery, its themes of temptation, loyalty, and self-reflection strike a universal chord. Whether it’s the literal bottle or another form of comfort, we’ve all faced the pull of something that’s as destructive as it is comforting. This is a song for those moments of reckoning.

Lyrics

DEVIL WITH A BOTTLE

1 If you find yourself entangled with a sensuous Serpentine
If you hear the Hydra calling or Medusas haunting sigh
Every romance holds a demon, who is feasting upon you
Leave your heart on the table, you will wake up black and blue

Oh, you tell me you’re in heaven; you swear it’s paradise
I tell you, keep your eyes a little further down the line
There is a viper waiting, who wants to eat your soul
Don’t chase after hot women — salvation gets served cold
 
Chorus So, drink, drink, drink with me
Take a sip, and you’ll see
Drink, drink, drink, drink with me
I’m the devil with a bottle and I keep good company   

3 Listen close, my son, you’re a ten years younger me
Take it from an old fool who loved women’s company
Pour yourself a bottle, ignore the heaven-sent
Sweet, after-dark temptations will have the upper hand

Chorus So, drink, drink, drink with me
To fill the hole, and you’ll ses
Drink, drink, drink drink with me
I’m the devil with a bottle, I will set you free

4 I know you think I’m jaded, tainted, bitter or insane
When all you’ve got’s a bottle, every problem’s a sail, boy
I’ve never been more sober; I’ve never been more true
Ain’t no love more loyal than the devil’s brew

Chorus So, drink, drink, drink with me
To drown your dreams, and you’ll see
Drink, drink, drink drink with me
I’m the  devil with a bottle, and you belong to me
