"Two Evils" adalah lagu yang dibawakan oleh band Bastille. Lirik lagu ini mengeksplorasi tema dualitas dan kesulitan membedakan antara yang benar dan salah. Penyanyi merenungkan peran mereka sebagai "yang lebih rendah dari dua kejahatan" dan mempertanyakan motivasi serta identitas mereka di balik fasad yang mereka tunjukkan. Lagu ini berosilasi antara pengakuan diri dan tuduhan terhadap orang lain, menggarisbawahi gagasan bahwa bahkan "yang lebih rendah" pun memiliki sisi gelap yang dapat mengaburkan batas antara pelaku dan korban.
Two Evils Lyrics
Bastille
[Intro: spoken]
3, 4...
[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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, 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
[Outro]
You and I, oh you and I
We're not that different, you and I
3, 4...
[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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, 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
[Outro]
You and I, oh you and I
We're not that different, you and I
