Two Evils Lyrics

3, 4

I'm the lesser of two evils
Or am I, am I tricking myself nice?
If I'm a lesser of two evils
Who's this man, who's this act I hide behind?

There are two ways to skin tonight
Let's see whose road gets there faster
This is a game, no wrongs, no right
Only a winner and a loser
You and I, oh you and I
We're not that different, you and I
Oh you and I, you and I
We're not that different, you and I

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Oh I'm the lesser of two evils
So keep looking
Just keep looking into my eyes
And as the lesser of two evils, it pays to
Pays to be the nice guy sometimes

There are two ways to skin tonight
Let's see whose road gets there faster
Here I am hiding in plain sight
If you're not careful you will lose her
You and I, you and I
We're not that different, you and I
Oh you and I, you and I
We're not that different, you and I

You and I, you and I
We're not that different, you and I

What is the Meaning of Two Evils?

In this introspective track, the artist grapples with the concept of moral ambiguity and self-deception. The lyrics suggest a struggle between two negative aspects or 'evils', and the singer questioning whether he is truly the lesser one. This could symbolize internal conflict or a relationship where both parties are at fault. The repeated line "We're not that different, you and I" emphasizes their similarities despite perceived differences. The song also explores the idea of winning and losing in relationships, suggesting a competitive dynamic. Ultimately, it addresses human complexity, challenging listeners to reflect on their own actions and motivations.
