my song related to the crucible

This song "Evil Angel" performed by Breaking Benjamin in my opinion is close to what is occuring in the town of Salem. In the beginning of this song, it is said "Hold it together, birds of a feather, Nothing but lies and crooked wings." This speaks to me in a sense that the people in the town of Salem need to keep their cool and stop over  freaking out over what the reverend saw, and that Abigail is behind all this choas, and creating these "lies and crooked wings." The next part of this song they say, "I have the answer, spreading the cancer, You are the faith inside me." This reminds me of Abigail thinking she has the answere to cover up her witchcraft doings by making everything worse by "spreading the cancer". Now many women and children are being accused of witchcraft as a result. A little ways down into the song they then say, " I'm a believer, Nothing could be worse, All these imaginary friends. Hiding betrayal, Driving the nail, Hoping to find a savior." To me this means thats Abigail and the others in the town know that this situation couldn't get any worse than it is. It also appears as though Abigail's relationships with her friends is fake as she backstabs Tatuba and others with these lies. She keeps "driving the nail" makeing things worse "hoping to find a savior" and make things better.
