Discover the story of the song > Devil’s Spoke – Laura Marling

The lyrics describe a woman who feels alone, but also feels admired by someone. She realizes that everything in life can be broken, even the devil. She wonders if her partner has come to rescue her, but also acknowledges that the love of her life is no longer alive. Despite this, she feels a responsibility to take care of her partner and be with him until the end. The lyrics end with a suggestive scene where the two of them are removing each other's clothes.
