Blood Orange
Closet Witch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The blood orange's juice.
Spilled out for all to see.
Enraged by disrespect of elder property.
Given it all.
Fortune in birth.
We see who you are.
The cinder, hot.
The fur.
Taking over private space.
Beautiful through the plastic over your faces.
Continue to be charmed by their graces.
Possession by skill.
Stranglehold with no hands.
The rabbit of the day and the owl of the night.
Sculpted in the milk of the moon but still crying.
Deep down she knows she holds nothing and at
The end of the day basks on her cloud alone.
And the scene is still cement and grey
The song "Blood Orange" by Closet Witch is a furious and intense track that touches upon themes of anger, property, and identity. The lyrics emphasize the power of fury as the blood orange's juice spills out for all to see. The rage stems from disrespect towards elder property, which could be interpreted as a metaphor for traditional values and norms being disregarded by the younger generation. The lyrics suggest that despite having been given everything they need to be successful, people need to show who they truly are and can't continue to hide behind a façade of black cat's grace.
The song describes the possession of skill and the stranglehold that it can have on individuals who strive for success. This is illustrated through the metaphor of the rabbit of the day and the owl of the night, suggesting that the pursuit of success can be all-consuming, leaving people feeling isolated and alone. The line "sculpted in the milk of the moon but still crying" evokes a sense of vulnerability and pain, hinting at the toll that constantly striving for success can take on individuals. The song ends on a melancholic note, with the scene being described as "still cement and grey," reinforcing the sense of isolation and loneliness that permeates the track.
