PSA: The New Seven Devils Lyrics Video is Wrong in Multiple Places
Hey, everyone. I just watched the new Seven Devils official lyrics video, and it's wrong in multiple places. Worse yet, it has errors commonly seen on lyrics websites. We know from Useless Magic what the exact lyrics are, but there are still no correct lyrics listing on these sites.
The mistakes:
5th stanza:
Wrong:
And we will find you saying it's to be better now
It's an even sum
It's a melody
Should be:
And we will find new saints to be canonized
It's an evensong
It's a litany
8th Stanza:
Wrong:
They can keep me out
'Til I tear the walls
'Til I save your heart
And to take your soul
And what has been done
Cannot be undone
In the evil's heart
In the evil's soul
Should be:
You can't keep it out
It's coming through the walls
To devastate your heart
And to take your soul
For what has been done
Cannot be undone
In the eagle's eye
In the evensong
Seven Devils is one of my favorite songs. It is incredibly agitating to see an official lyrics video use incorrect lyrics that often don't even match the sounds Florence is singing. I just saw this song live a few months ago, and the lyrics in this new video are blatantly wrong. I hope this was someone messing up and not AI slop, but it can be hard to tell these days.
Anyone know how we reach her team to tell them about this? 😅
