XXXTENTACION - I Spoke to The Devil in Miami Meaning

I Spoke to The Devil in Miami Lyrics

And I'm always where the sun don't shine
The tears don't show
Won't hurt me now 'cause heart's been broke
I hate myself but it won't show
I constantly lose all my remorse
And it's ten for the wolf and
Three for the shepherd and it's
One...

   The meaning behind this is so simple it's terrifying.
   "...took a Bite of your apple, give me all you can offer, now I'm Trapped in a changing maze, settin' my soul ablaze", the apple reference is biblical (if ydk, go figure it out), he's trying to say he was granted everything he could ask for, but the changing maze part means the conditions that had to be met, either for him to stay alive to keep getting those benefits or something else, and the only place a soul can burn is in Hell, so he was trying to say he got benefits and he couldn't escape the conditions, but continuing to fulfill them was further damning him...
   
   "I'm off of the map, my Lord, I Spoke to a Baphomet, he said he would save me if I Gave him one thing he needed, "What is this thing?", I pleaded, (*)boy it's the key to even, yeah"
   this part is self explanatory i guess, he's telling God he's lost (off the map), and that happened when he went to the devil, who would give him what he wants, (* - I don't get that part, cos it's not clear who said that or if it's just future commentary...)
   
   "And as I spoke, my fangs were shown Taken aback, he smiles and tells me "What you crave will soon be yours, But what I crave is already mine"
   Anima vestra
   Anima
   Anima vestra
   Anima"
   
   This.... this is the sad part
