| This song expresses the thoughts of a prisoner on Devil's Island about to be executed. In the song, the prisoner's life is spared by God right before he is about to be killed, but he is condemned to spend the rest of his life on Devil's Island. | |

| this song is a man reflecting on life before his execution, Devil's Island was an early French prison, much like Alcatraz, escape was thought to be impossible due to the sharks and rough currents in the water | |

| This song is about a murderer, whose victim haunts him. He desires death to end the torment, but he's sentenced to leave on Devil's Island for life. | |
