Witch Hunt
Nicumo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You can never really know
The Witch might be alive, they say
You can't be too careful, you know...
"Witch, the hunt is on!"
Yelling the red-eyed patron
"Drown it, burn it, concrete casket waiting for it!"
Kiss me with those cold lips
Let me see you smile
It's me lying here
Bleeding life out of me
Bury my body under the ground
My mind must must be tied tight and drowned
Heart cut out and burned, charred black
Someday, somehow I might come back
I'm innocent and most of the people know
Shrieking in fear "To the fire, go go!"
In the distance, a faint glow
They think they're saving a soul
There's something that stopped my heart
That numb old black lump full of scars
I'm not the only one who's gotta go
But women and children also, oh no...
Trust me everything will be just fine
We're not gonna just die
But saved from these monsters
They've already died, from the inside
Bury my body under the ground
My mind must must be tied tight and drowned
Heart cut out and burned, charred black
Someday, somehow I might come back
The lyrics to Nicumo's song Witch Hunt are a commentary on the human tendency to ostracize and condemn those who are different or are perceived as a threat. The song begins by urging the listener to spare the hanging rope, as the accused may actually be innocent. The lyrics then develop into a vivid portrayal of a witch hunt, with the red-eyed patron yelling to drown, burn, and bury the victim in a concrete casket. The accused has nowhere to hide and is ultimately killed, with their heart cut out and burned.
The chorus of the song is a haunting call to arms, with the red-eyed patron yelling, "Witch, the hunt is on!" The lyrics suggest that the accused is being unfairly targeted and that the real danger lies in the mob mentality that drives the hunt. The song asks the listener to consider what it would be like to be in the accused's shoes, to feel the cold lips of death, and to see their life slowly bleeding out. The lyrics conclude with the suggestion that the accused may not be truly dead, that they may come back someday, somehow.
