The narrator begins their journey with addiction, stating that they’ve begun to notice a continued pull towards it. The “you” in this song is the addictive behavior, person, or substance affecting the narrator. The devil they know is addiction; the devil they don’t know is recovery. The speaker feels more comfortable in the presence of their own addiction rather than recovering, because recovering is an entirely different beast, and they are scared to face it.
