The purpose of this study is to explore how “the Devil” is used metaphorically in popular music, both contextually and within the linguistic framework of conceptual metaphor theory. The corpus examined consists of 15 lyrics spread over the genre’s blues, country/bluegrass, heavy metal and female alternative. The study was conducted applying PIMS grounded in conceptual metaphor analysis. The analysis shows the Devil being used both in metaphors and metonymies in both target domains and source domains linked to concepts like force, deception and control, and emotions such as love, fear, anger and sadness. The study further showed that context made multiple interpretations of the scenes/phrases possible.
