Voodoo Doll
Fresh Body Shop Lyrics

The lyrics to Fresh Body Shop’s “Voodoo Doll” describe paranoia and fear in a relationship where trust has been broken. The singer confronts their partner who has become distant and hostile, accusing them of leaving threatening messages on the wall that say “Go in Hell”. The singer is afraid of their partner’s actions, who holds a “strange doll” and has left needles in their bed. They also recount a dream where their partner is dressed like a witch and a spider was found in their shoe. The chorus repeats the question, “Was it you? I need to know, Was it you? I'd like to know”.

The song depicts a toxic and volatile dynamic between two individuals where one questions the intentions and motives of the other. The act of leaving threatening messages and objects indicate the partner’s desire to control and manipulate the singer. The use of voodoo dolls, witches, spiders, and needles, alludes to supernatural and sinister forces at play. This song delves into the theme of gaslighting where a victim is made to doubt their own reality and experiences. The paranoia and fear mentioned in the song suggest that the relationship has become dysfunctional and the singer is battling to regain the control and trust that was lost.
