Don't Mess With Ouija Boards

Falling In Reverse's song 'Don't Mess With Ouija Boards' delves into the themes of temptation, regret, and the search for redemption. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a protagonist who has made a Faustian bargain, trading their soul for the allure of rock 'n' roll. The opening lines, 'From the depths of hell / So far I fell,' set the tone for a narrative steeped in darkness and consequence. The imagery of an hourglass counting down lies underscores the inevitability of time and the weight of deceit that the protagonist carries.

The chorus, 'I sold my soul to rock n' roll / I let my demons take control,' reveals the internal struggle and the sense of loss that comes with succumbing to one's darker impulses. The microphone becomes a symbol of escape, a way to channel the turmoil and find a semblance of peace. However, the repeated warning, 'Don't mess with ouija boards / Cause now my spirit's gone,' serves as a cautionary tale about dabbling in forces beyond one's control, leading to a loss of self and spiritual emptiness.

Throughout the song, there's a recurring theme of searching for 'serenity' and 'better days,' highlighting the protagonist's yearning for redemption and peace. The lines 'I'm always standing / At the edge of reality' suggest a constant struggle between the real world and a darker, more chaotic inner world. The song's climax, with its intense declaration of feeling hate and the inevitability of facing one's demons, encapsulates the turmoil and the ultimate realization that some choices lead to irreversible consequences. 'Don't Mess With Ouija Boards' is a powerful exploration of the dangers of temptation and the relentless pursuit of redemption in the face of overwhelming darkness.
