The Witch in the Wood
Louisa John-Krol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The moonlight is dim and my head pounds
I can't run away, I'm down to the ground
There's rustling in the bushes and I don't like these sounds
Hallucinating and breaking, emotions caught up
You left me, I'm messy, my mind, it fogged up
You trashed it and smashed it and now I feel lost
I feel like, I feel like I'm lost in the woods
I feel like, I feel like I'm lost in the woods
And there's nothing, there's nothing that I can do
I feel like, I feel like I'm lost in the woods
I close my eyes and hope to escape
I wasn't just lost, I was taken away
You stole my heart and locked it up in some place
I finally get it, you were simply two-faced
Hallucinating and breaking, emotions caught up
You left me, I'm messy, my mind, it fogged up
You trashed it and smashed it and now I feel lost
And you're just standing there, laughing, you're evil as fuck
I feel like, I feel like I'm lost in the woods
I feel like, I feel like I'm lost in the woods
And there's nothing, there's nothing that I can do
I feel like, I feel like I'm lost in the woods
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
I feel like, I feel like I'm lost in the woods
I feel like, I feel like I'm lost in the woods
And there's nothing, there's nothing that I can do
I feel like, I feel like I'm lost in the woods
The lyrics of Louisa John-Krol's song "The Witch in the Wood" seem to be describing a situation where the singer wakes up disorientated in a dark forest, hearing unfamiliar noises around her. As the song goes on, it becomes apparent that she is not physically lost, but emotionally lost due to the actions of a past lover. She speaks of feeling like she has been taken away and her heart stolen from her, leaving her feeling shattered and alone. She mentions feeling like she is hallucinating and confused, and that the person who hurt her is still around, enjoying her distress. The repetition of the phrase "I feel like I'm lost in the woods" throughout the song emphasizes her feelings of being trapped and unable to escape her pain.
The song is using the metaphor of being lost in the woods to describe the singer's emotional state, and how she is struggling to find her way back to feeling whole and happy again. There is a sense of anger and betrayal towards the person who hurt her, with the line "you trashed it and smashed it and now I feel lost" indicating that they have caused her significant emotional damage. The repetition of the phrase "why are you messing with me" towards the end of the song adds to this sense of anger and confusion.
Overall, "The Witch in the Wood" is a powerful depiction of the psychological trauma caused by emotional abuse, and the struggle to overcome it.
Line by Line Meaning
I open my eyes and look around
I become aware of my surroundings
The moonlight is dim and my head pounds
The moonlight is faint and I have a headache
I can't run away, I'm down to the ground
I am unable to leave and I am on the floor
There's rustling in the bushes and I don't like these sounds
I hear disturbances in the bushes that unsettle me
Hallucinating and breaking, emotions caught up
I am experiencing hallucinations and emotional turmoil
You left me, I'm messy, my mind, it fogged up
You abandoned me, causing my mental state to become muddled
You trashed it and smashed it and now I feel lost
You destroyed something important to me, leaving me feeling disoriented
I feel like, I feel like I'm lost in the woods
I feel as though I am stranded and unsure of what to do
And there's nothing, there's nothing that I can do
I am powerless to change my situation
I close my eyes and hope to escape
I attempt to mentally remove myself from the situation
I wasn't just lost, I was taken away
It's not merely a matter of being lost - I was kidnapped or removed against my will
You stole my heart and locked it up in some place
You took possession of my heart and concealed it somewhere
I finally get it, you were simply two-faced
I now comprehend that you presented two different sides of yourself and deceived me
And you're just standing there, laughing, you're evil as fuck
You stand before me, laughing and reveling in your maliciousness
Why are you messing with me
Why are you intentionally causing me harm
I feel like, I feel like I'm lost in the woods
I continue to sense that I am stranded and without direction
And there's nothing, there's nothing that I can do
I remain without any ability to alter my situation

Thank you for uploading (and making this). My wife heard it when I was listening to Faerie Radio and had stepped outside to smoke. She saved the artist's name and the song title in notepad so I could hear it. Loved the song, and the wonderful video you made to go with it was very nice. May you receive the happiness you have just given me back threefold.

ohmygosh I'm so excited to find this! I heard this song back in my high school years (early 90s) when it was on an album she did for Wonderwings, a faery shop in Richmond.
