* Standard

**EVIL** is song by emo-pop artist AViVA that was released as a single on July 17th, 2020.

## **Background**

A snippet of this song was released in the VOLUME II trailer on June 3rd, 2020. The first trailer was released a month later on July 2nd. The second trailer was released on July 9th. EVIL premiered and released on July 17th, 2020.

## **Theme**

"The song is a ‘heat of the moment’ song. That feeling when someone has screwed you over in some way and you’re so angry you feel like nothing is off the cards. That’s happened to everybody. I think the biggest lesson is that time heals all wounds and the things that mattered so much then, pass and don’t matter anymore. My favourite lyric is ‘won’t save you now cause we’re not friends’ for two reasons. 1 - because I think it’s hilarious how often people cut you out of their life until they need something, then all of a sudden the pop back up. 2 - it’s ironically incorrect for both me AViVA and the character in my book, Teddy. We always end up saving people regardless of what they’ve done to us."

## **Lyrics**

**[Verse 1]**

I'm sorry

Somebody hurt ya when you were younger

But why'd you take it out on me?

Now you're over soon, you'll see

I forgive ya

It's not your fault you're so frickin' evil

Spreading lies about you and me

Tore it down, made it seem easy

**[Pre-Chorus]**

What's the way to Heaven?

Now you've found a way to sell it

You thought I'd lay down and die

But it's my turn now to start the fires

**[Chorus]**

You're E-V-I-L

You'll burn this place to Hell

But it don't matter when you're dead

Won't save you now 'cause we're not friends

E-V-I-L, they're all under your spell

But it won't matter when you're dead

Won't save you now 'cause we're not friends

**[Post-Chorus]**

E-V, E-V-I-L

E-V, E-V-I-L

But it don't matter when you're dead

Won't save you now 'cause we're not friends

**[Verse 2]**

Your problems, not my problems, you're forgetting

Cannot change who you are inside

You let it out, let your dark run wild

I know it wasn't my fault

I can't believe though

That you think you have escaped me

I'll hunt you down, just you wait and see

**[Pre-Chorus]**

What's the way to Heaven?

Now you've found a way to sell it

You thought I'd lay down and die

But it's my turn now to start the fires

**[Chorus]**

You're E-V-I-L

You'll burn this place to Hell

But it don't matter when you're dead

Won't save you now 'cause we're not friends

E-V-I-L, they're all under your spell

But it won't matter when you're dead

Won't save you now 'cause we're not friends

**[Post-Chorus]**

E-V, E-V-I-L

E-V, E-V-I-L

But it don't matter when you're dead

Won't save you now 'cause we're not friends

**[Bridge]**

E-V, E-V-I-L

E-V, E-V-I-L

E-V, E-V-I-L

E-V-I-L, evil

**[Chorus]**

You're E-V-I-L

You'll burn this place to Hell

But it don't matter when you're dead

Won't save you now 'cause we're not friends

E-V-I-L, they're all under your spell

But it won't matter when you're dead

Won't save you now 'cause we're not friends

**[Post-Chorus]**

E-V, E-V-I-L

E-V, E-V-I-L

But it don't matter when you're dead

Won't save you now 'cause we're not friends

#### **Lyrics**

**[Verse 1]**

I know you thought you broke my heart

Left me lone in the dark

Shattered pieces make me sharp

But you told me that I was the one

I was like the shining sun

'Til it was a hit and run

Oh, I know you could never understand

Why I needed you to be my man

**[Chorus]**

E-V-I-L

Drag my heart through hell

Did you think I'd never tell

That your heart is evil?

E-V-I-L

Drag my heart through hell

Did you think I'd never tell

That your heart is evil?

**[Verse 2]**

I didn't want to make a plan

They won't say I ever ran

Now I have the upper hand

'Cause I didn't think that you would ever be so cruel

Didn't want to bend the rules

But I'm done with your abuse

I know you can never understand

Why I couldn't let you walk again

**[Chorus]**

E-V-I-L

Drag my heart through hell

Did you think I'd never tell

That your heart is evil?

E-V-I-L

Drag my heart through hell

Did you think I'd never tell

That your heart is evil?

**[Outro]**

That your heart is evil?

That your heart is
