about

Pride is double edged. You need some to succeed, but there's a danger there. I personify devil as a woman at the end here, which is also dangerous.

lyrics

The devil put ice in a glass
Said "can i buy you a drink?"
Well I think he was just building me up
So i'd have further to sink

Said "boy where this cinder block right round your neck,
and then let's go swimming way out in the depths"
Well the devil put ice in a glass
Said can I buy you a drink

My daddy he told me
that pride it goes before a fall
Well if it weren't for falling
I'd probably get nowhere at all

Well I'm trying to fill up some pretty big shoes
I ain't got nothing and that's not much to lose
So why does it hurt
When I light that fuse?
I guess I must think I'm dynamite

I am so proud
of my brand new confidence
I am so proud
and that ain't no coincidence

Well the devil put ice in a glass
Said can I pour you a drink
I think she was just building me up
So i'd have further to sink
