Who is Devon from inside the fire by disturbed?

Answer 1

"Devon" from inside the fire is David Draimans girlfriend, who committed suicide, but Devon was not her actual name. on the inside the fire video, he talks a bit about it. Also the whole song is talking about how when he found Devon he felt like the devil was telling him to "give up your life and take your place inside the fire with her" meaning kill himself and join her in hell.

We are all glad he didn't

I just wanted to add to your answer that "Devon" was actually his ex girlfriend. They had dated twice. The first time they dated they kept it secret from (this may be backwards) but "Devon" 's parents David finally convinced her to tell her parents and they did not approve and the relationship ended. They met up a few years later and they started dating again, however "Devon" had a drug problem and a few other problems and David tried his best to help her and do everything he could to save her. He eventually couldn't take it anymore and he ended the relationship. Shortly after "Devon" killed herself. Her parents blamed David for her death and never for gave him. This is a quote taken from an interview he gave:

DRAIMAN: That song was unfortunately written about a suicide that I had to deal with, where a girlfriend of mine had taken her own life. The idea for the song came from when I was at her funeral, and I was actually standing over her. It was the first time that I had actually seen a dead body in an open casket, and I was overwhelmed with feelings of guilt at the time even though she had already been on a path of self-destruction long before I had ever known her.

The imagery that goes through your mind when you're in that state of depression will shock you.

I had this image of The Devil speaking to me from over my shoulder, trying to compel me to take my own life as well so that I could still be with her in the afterlife. So that spoken voice in the song is meant to be The Devil trying to compel me to commit the act.
