Song Meaning of “The Devil’s Thrust” by Snakeskin Angels
The Devil’s Thrust is a classic rock song by Snakeskin Angels that speaks to the idea of breaking out of one’s comfort zone and taking risks even if it is frowned upon. In the lyrics, the singer details his experiences with the Devil and how he has been led astray in life, yet he proclaims that despite all of this, he won’t turn back and will walk straight into the Devil’s arms. This is meant to represent that no matter what the risks are in life, it is worth it to take them because in the end, anything less than total commitment is a failed opportunity. The chorus of the song says, “I’m taking the Devil’s thrust and I’m never turning back.” By taking this “thrust” it is an affirmation of his desires and acceptance of the risks that come with striving to be more. The song is anthematic of living life to the fullest and never closing off opportunities simply out of fear.
