Exorcism
Clairity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Switching channels, losing signal
That's how I know when you're around
You mess, you mess with my head
Playing games so sick and twisted
Just to hear me call for help
I'll wait for you to let me go
But you won't
So I'll replay my body and my soul
Banish the broken from my bones
You're no longer my religion
So I take on a whole new energy
Manifest a better part of me
Gotta rid you from my system
It's time for an exorcism
When the phone rings, the entire room goes cold
I find myself choking on tears and
Makeshift nooses from the telephone chord
And your voice, it's like nails on a chalkboard
Every time you speak my knees go weak
And I fall halfway out the door
I'll wait for you to let me go
Can't wait for you to let me go
But you won't
So I'll replay my body and my soul
Banish the broken from my bones
You're no longer my religion
So I take on a whole new energy
Manifest a better part of me
Gotta rid you from my system
It's time for an exorcism
It's time for an exorcism
It's time for an exorcism
It's time for an exorcism
It's time for an exorcism
And it starts right now, and it starts right now
I would rather die than with you inside, gotta pull you out
And it starts right now, and it starts right now
I would rather die than with you inside, gotta pull you out
So I'll replay my body and my soul
Banish the broken from my bones
You're no longer my religion
So I take on a whole new energy
Manifest a better part of me
Gotta rid you from my system
It's time for an exorcism
In Clairity's song "Exorcism," the lyrics depict an intense and toxic relationship that the singer is desperate to escape from. The imagery of the TV turning on by itself and the phone ringing coldly suggests that the person in question has a strange and eerie presence that makes the singer feel uncomfortable and trapped. The lines "Playing games so sick and twisted, just to hear me call for help" imply that this person is manipulating the singer for their own pleasure and a sadistic desire for control.
Despite the distress caused by this person's presence, the singer struggles to let go of the relationship as she says "I'll wait for you to let me go, can't wait for you to let me go, but you won't." The use of repetition of this verse highlights the desperation of the singer to be freed from the relationship as she recognizes the toxic hold that this person has on her.
The chorus proclaims that the only solution to rid herself from this person is an exorcism, as their presence feels like a demonic possession. The lyrics "Manifest a better part of me, gotta rid you from my system, it's time for an exorcism" suggest that the only way for the singer to move on and heal is to cut ties with the person entirely and start anew.

When the TV comes on all by itself
Switching channels, losing signal
That's how I know when you're around
You mess, you mess with my head
Playing games so sick and twisted
Just to hear me call for help
I sense your presence when strange things happen
You toy with my mind by playing cruel games
It's a twisted pleasure for you to hear me beg for help
When the phone rings, the entire room goes cold
I find myself choking on tears and
Makeshift nooses from the telephone chord
And your voice, it's like nails on a chalkboard
Every time you speak my knees go weak
And I fall halfway out the door
Hearing your voice sends shivers down my spine
Your words make me feel numb and helpless
It's suffocating, like a noose around my neck
You have a power over me that I can't resist
I'll wait for you to let me go
Can't wait for you to let me go
But you won't
I want to break free from you
But you won't let me go
You have a hold on me that's hard to shake
So I'll replay my body and my soul
Banish the broken from my bones
You're no longer my religion
So I take on a whole new energy
Manifest a better part of me
Gotta rid you from my system
It's time for an exorcism
I need to heal my body and my soul
Remove the pain and fix the damage you caused
You were the center of my world, but not anymore
I will transform into a better version of myself
And get rid of your toxic influence
It's time for an exorcism
It's time for an exorcism
It's time for an exorcism
It's time for an exorcism
I need to purge you from my life
I must break the hold you have on me
It's time to get rid of the evil inside
I will reclaim my power and find my own way
And it starts right now, and it starts right now
I would rather die than with you inside, gotta pull you out
And it starts right now, and it starts right now
I would rather die than with you inside, gotta pull you out
I'm taking action to remove you
I can't bear to live with you any longer
I'm starting right now, there's no going back
It's better to die than to let you control me
