The Witch
Delta Empire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She keeps on calling me
I think she′s stalking me here in reality
Why does she follow me
Sit with me
Laugh at me
Try to tell me what to do
I think she's an enemy
Making me restlessly question my sanity
It′s an audacity
Crashing my privacy
Why do you tell me what to do
Oh boy there's more to this than you see now
I'm not here to spin you a web
For you to get caught in
I just want to give you some answers
Grab the hand that is sinking deeper
Pull me up into your ether
If you′re here to save me from this hell
Then you might as well save me from myself
So what do you see in me
Sowing your sympathy
Why am I rationally your only tragedy
Is it my tapestry
Lose the analogy
Why don′t you tell me what to do
So boy you've excepted reasons I chose
But it′s not how you see it
I'm working
Pushing away all your darkness
That you submit to
Grab the hand that is sinking deeper
Pull me up into your ether
If you′re here to save me from this hell
Then you might as well save me from myself
From myself
She is the witch
Don't listen to her
She is the enemy
That little bitch
I am your hunger
I am your war
I am the forces opposing that whore
Some call me Ego
Some call me Evil
Whilst ruling your world
I′ve been your placebo
I am the tower
I am the king
I am the emperor
I rule everything
Don't listen to her
She is the demon
She wants you dead
Without a reason
Come back to me
I'll show you the way
Just bow your head
Like you do everyday
The lyrics of Delta Empire's song "The Witch" is about a struggle with one's inner demons. The first verse talks about an unknown entity that is following and laughing at the singer, trying to tell them what to do. The singer thinks that this entity is an enemy, maybe a deity, making them question their sanity. The use of words like audacity and crashing my privacy reflect the uneasy feeling of the singer. In the second verse, the entity is trying to sympathize with the singer, trying to save them from their hell, and from themselves.
The third verse is sung by the entity, which claims to be the ego, the war, and the opposing force to the witch. The entity asks the singer not to listen to the witch, calling her a little bitch and the demon. The entity claims to rule everything and to be the place where the singer can come back to find the way. The song portrays a psychological battle that many people go through, where their ego and conflicting emotions tell them what to do, making them question their own sanity. However, the song holds the message that one could find a way out if they do not let their inner demons rule the way.
