The Witch
Antonia Vai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I knew your name 'fore you told me, I know where you've been, I know where you'll go and I
love you the most
I'm so terrifying, poor little man, you're the food I will eat
oh, oh, I am melting, I'm melting, don't pour your waters on me
they wait for their stones to be thrown, burn me alive, if I sink let me go, if I float let me die
well then, how come we survive, me and my sisters, through all those misters too scared to let
us fly
oh, oh, do I melt, am I melting, if you throw your waters, give it a try
the haunt has already begun
well, burn me in the middle of your square - look again, look again, I'm not there!
look again, babe, it's magic
'cause they wouldn't call me a witch for nothing
"The Witch" by Antonia Vai is a powerful and empowering song that explores the concept of female strength and resilience. The lyrics depict a strong and fearless woman who identifies herself as a witch, capable of influencing and challenging the invisible forces around her. She claims to have knowledge about others, their past, present, and future. Despite her terrifying presence, she declares her love for someone, suggesting that her power does not diminish her capacity for compassion.
The song also highlights the discrimination and fear that women like her face. She mentions how people wait for an opportunity to cast stones at her and burn her alive, metaphorically symbolizing the oppressive actions taken against those who are different or have power. The witch, however, questions why she and her sisters continue to survive despite the fear and resistance they encounter. She challenges those who underestimate her and expresses her resilience against their attempts to suppress her.
