Witchcraft
Nightcore Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's in your eyes, A color fade out
Looks like a new transition is starting up and shaking your ground
Turning you head to see a new day calling
Does it feel like a head to lean on?
A snapshot from where you were born.
I'm looking for your hand in the rough.
You're caught in the wire
Well, I'll lift you up
*Instrumental*
Leading on the action
Caught in a cellphone's rings
Bleeding on the sofa
It's tearing at the waist-line
He's comin' and she knows it
Even if she knows why
Footsteps in the hallway
Girl, You haven't got time
You gotta get out
Go far away
You gotta get out
Go far away
*Instrumental*
Tigers in the bedroom
Maybe she's resting up
Maybe she was half-age
Just got back from the club
I can't hear her breathing
Something doesn't seem right
Killer in the hallway
Well, They have a set time
We gotta get out
Go far away
We gotta get out




Go far away
*Instrumental*

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Nightcore's song "Witchcraft" sets the tone for a narrative story of a trying and dangerous journey. The lyrics imply that the singer is observing something significant happening to the person they are addressing. They describe a transition that seems to be taking place at that moment, creating a shaky foundation beneath their feet. However, they urge the listener to turn their head towards a brand new day ahead, with the possibility of a secure support system in the form of a person's hand. They also reference a fleeting moment of nostalgia, symbolized by a snapshot of where they were born.


As the song progresses, the lyrics become more tense and urgent, transitioning into the story mode. It talks about someone being caught in a wire, which can be seen as an analogy for being trapped or experiencing difficulty, and the singer is lifting them up. There is a sense of chaos and danger in the air, with the lyricist painting a picture of someone bleeding on the sofa and the imminent arrival of a male figure to the hallway. The female protagonist is portrayed as someone with no time to waste, needing to flee urgently, with tigers and killers potentially lurking around the corner. The chorus repeats the message to "get out, go far away," reinforcing the urgency of the situation.

It's in your eyes, a color fade out
Looks like a new transition
The starting up and shaking your ground
Turning your head to see a new day calling

Leading on the action
Caught in a cell phone's rays
Bleeding on a sofa
Staring at the waistline
He's coming and she knows it
Even though she knows why
Footsteps in the hallway
Girl, you haven't got time

You gotta get out
Go far away
You gotta get out
Go far away

Darkness in the bedroom
Maybe she is resting up
Maybe she was out late
Just come back from the club
I can't hear her breathing
Something doesn't seem right
Killer in the hallway
We're living on a set time

We gotta get out
Go far away
You gotta get out
Go far away
