The song "My Only Crime" by Highasakite explores a dream-like scenario where the protagonist envisions themselves as the Devil's child. They contemplate diving deep into their own mind and losing control, but still maintain a sense of control as they ride off to war on a horse under the bluest night. The lyrics suggest that the protagonist has made a pact or a deal with the Devil, which has caused them to wake up feeling bound by this agreement. They feel the presence of the Devil within their very being, expressing it as having the Devil in their bone.

Despite the darkness and entanglement with the Devil, the protagonist still feels a sense of control and determination as they venture into the unknown, represented by riding off to war on a horse into the bluest night. This could symbolize their willingness to face the consequences of their actions and battle the challenges that lie ahead. Overall, "My Only Crime" explores themes of temptation, self-reflection, and the consequences of one's choices. The song delves into the complex emotions and inner conflicts that arise from desires and the choices made in the pursuit of them.
