The Voodoo
David Rock Feinstein Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leaving me for dead
You cast a wicked spell
That sent me straight to hell
Now I see vengeance, in a darker light
I’ve got the evil source in me
I got the voodoo
I’ll give it to you
I’m going to do to you
Just what you did to me
For all you’ve done to me
I’ll bring you to your knees
And when you’re screaming, and all torn apart
I’ll put a needle through your heart
I got the voodoo
I’ll give it to you
I got the voodoo
Don’t call the doctor, it’s much too late
I’ve made an evil wish, to put you in your place
Don’t try to fight it, ’cause it’s what I do
I’m going to crank it up, and then I’ll put a spell on you
Like this
I’ve got the power, to paralyse
You can see it in my eyes
I got the voodoo
I’ll give it to you
I got the voodoo
I got the voodoo, yeah, yeah
The song "The Voodoo" by David Rock Feinstein is about seeking revenge on someone who has wronged the singer. The first verse sets the scene of the betrayal, in which the person the singer trusted left them for dead, casting a "wicked spell" that sent them straight to hell. The second verse reveals the singer's intent for revenge, proclaiming that they have the "evil source" (presumably referring to the power of voodoo) in them and that they will do to the other person what was done to them. The chorus repeats the refrain of having the voodoo and giving it to the other person, before the third verse further describes the singer's power to paralyze and cast spells on their target.
The song can be interpreted as a warning against crossing someone who knows how to use voodoo. It speaks to the human desire for revenge and the belief in supernatural powers, suggesting that the singer is now in control and has the power to make the other person suffer as they did. The lyrics are vivid and dramatic, conjuring up images of needles through hearts and paralyzing spells.
