pretty satan

In 'pretty satan,' Mage Tears delves into the theme of deception and the struggle to see through false appearances. The song opens with the protagonist encountering Satan through a screen, a metaphor that could represent the digital age's pervasive influence and the often misleading nature of online personas. The line 'He probably wants to kill me' suggests a deep-seated fear and anxiety about the true intentions behind these facades.

The lyrics 'Please continue to rot / Stop being something you are not' reflect a plea for authenticity and a rejection of the superficial. The protagonist is urging the deceptive figure to reveal their true, decaying nature rather than hiding behind a mask of false purity. This sentiment is further emphasized with 'Disguising as an angel / You're only making things worse for me,' highlighting the emotional turmoil caused by these misleading appearances.

Finally, the lines 'If you're decomposing yourself / Please just leave me be' convey a desire for separation from the toxic influence of this deceptive entity. The protagonist recognizes the self-destructive nature of the figure and wishes to distance themselves from the ensuing chaos. Mage Tears uses vivid imagery and stark contrasts to explore the impact of deception on mental well-being, making 'pretty satan' a poignant commentary on the importance of authenticity in a world full of illusions.
