Voodoo
Bryce Fox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh yeah
I'm in the business, a risky business
You're so inviting, I can't resist it
I know you, baby doll
I know you, you do voodoo
My flesh and love break
My paranoia, my insecurity
But still I want you all
I know you, you do voodoo
I know it
It's like I'm born to play with fire, I think I like it
I want your trouble by my side, I think I like it
I want to feel your pins and needles
Pins and needles
I know you, you do voodoo
Ain't got no stitches in single digits
You got inside me
I got your message
I know you, baby doll
I know you, you do voodoo
I love your company, sexy richness
That's what I'm finding them crazy bitches
I swear that I'm in love
I know you, you do voodoo
I know it
It's like I'm born to play with fire, I think I like it
I want your trouble by my side, I think I like it
I want to feel your pins and needles
Pins and needles
I know you
And now, the breakdown
It's like I'm born to play with fire, I think I like it
I want your trouble by my side, I think I like it
I want to feel your pins and needles
Pins and needles
I know you, you do voodoo
In "Voodoo" by Bryce Fox, the singer is describing his attraction towards someone who has an ability to control and manipulate him. The lyrics suggest that he knows this person is trouble and may cause him harm, but he can't help but feel drawn to them. He refers to this person as a "baby doll" who can perform voodoo, which represents their power over him. He acknowledges that this relationship is risky, but he is willing to take the chance because he loves the feeling of danger.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is drawn to the danger of the relationship, even though he knows it could end badly. He wants to literally feel his partner's pins and needles, which can be interpreted as a desire to feel the pain associated with being under their control. The singer is fully aware of the situation he is in and understands that he may be getting in too deep, yet he still craves the thrill of the fire. The breakdown at the end displays his internal conflict – part of him knows he is in danger, but the other part is too attracted to the thrill of it.
